Friday the 13th: The Game is maxing out all players and unlocking everything ahead of its delisting

Friday the 13th: The Game will be maxing out players’ stats and unlocking practically everything, ahead of the game’s delisting at the end of the year.

Publisher Gun Interactive announced last month that its Friday the 13th licence will expire at the end of 2023, meaning it will have to pull the game from sale on December 31, 2023.

Following this, the game will still be playable for at least another year, for those who already bought it.

Now Gun has also announced that it will giving players almost everything the game has to offer right away, claiming it’s to “reduce the dependence on database servers”.

According to Gun, an update on July 6 will make the following changes to the game:

• the 30 most popular Legendary Perks will be made available to all players, with the best roll possible and no negative effects
• all players will be maxed out to Level 150
• all kill animations will be unlocked (not counting DLC)
• all Challenge Skulls will be unlocked
• no more XP or CP will be earned (since it’s no longer needed)
• no matchmaking functionality will be lost

The asymmetrical multiplayer horror game was released in 2017 and has continued to enjoy something of a following, despite its dedicated servers being shut down in 2020 (peer-to-peer matchmaking is still possible).

Gun says that once the game is delisted on December 31, 2023, it will still be playable for at least another year for those who already bought it.

To compensate for the game’s finite lifespan, Gun announced that it would permanently reduce the price of the game to $5 / £4.19 and its DLC to $0.99 / £0.79 until it’s delisted.

Friday the 13th: The Game is being delisted in December, will cost $5 until then

The game will continue to function until the end of 2024

“We will continue to offer the title and content at that price point right up until it is removed from digital/physical storefronts on December 31st, 2023,” it stated last month.

““We would like to thank our community for the dedication they’ve shown to Friday the 13th: The Game and Gun Interactive as a whole, and we are happy the game will live on awhile longer and continue to be enjoyed by anyone owning the game already.”

Gun has now moved onto a different classic horror franchise, with an asymmetrical multiplayer game based on The Texas Chain Saw Massacre due for release in August.
