Who woulda thought that a Kickstarted early access co-op horror game based on Friday the 13th would become one of 2017’s sleeper PC and console hits? Well it has, to the tune of over 1.8 million units across all platforms — and you can thank Gun Media and IllFonic for that.

With Friday the 13th: The Game now officially available via digital storefronts, the developer is looking forward to releasing a boxed retail version this October… on Friday the 13th. Besides being on disc, in a box, those who pick up the physical version will get a Bloody Jason skin variant along with a free counselor clothing pack.

We have increased our staff, we’re squashing bugs and working with two third party teams to ensure the future of this game in all of it’s gory glory.
