  • Friday the 13th Update Gives Players One Last Major Hurrah Before Delisting

    Max level, everything unlocked, and a good reason to return before it's gone.

    Friday the 13th: The Game is getting one last update on July 6. This update will give players access to absolutely everything the game has to offer. It will boost all accounts up to the level cap of 150, offer 30 legendary perks, offer every non-DLC unique kill, and unlock all Challenge Skulls.

    This update will give players a few months of totally unrestricted and unhinged gameplay time before Friday the 13th is delisted later this year. The exact delisting date is December 31, 2023 and it has to happen due to the licensing expiring on the IP.

    In 2020, Friday the 13th: The Game was put in the unfortunate spot between a legal dispute over the ownership rights to the IP. Though the legal battle doesn't involve either Gun Interactive nor IllFonic, the studios were unfortunately caught in the crossfire. Once the dispute began over who really owns the IP, neither Gun Media nor IllFonic could add any additional content to the game. A few updates did get released in the years following, but they were mostly for bug fixes and routine maintenance.


    Gun Interactive is currently working with Sumo Digital on The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. IllFonic went on to develop and publish Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed last year. Friday the 13th: The Game can still be yours for just $5 on Steam.

      Review: Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed
      by Shawn Zipay
      A ton of fun with friends.

      Off and on for about two weeks now, I and some friends have been hopping into Ghostbusters: Spirits Within, the latest asymmetrical 4v1 multiplayer game from IllFonic. Though I would have liked to have gotten this review up a good week ago now, life had other plans. I suppose that just means I’m extra confident in my assessment of the game after spending even more time playing it.

      As a little background here, I would consider myself a...

      An undisclosed number of employees have been laid off.

      We have even more unfortunate news to share today. In addition to this week's layoffs and studio closures at Ubisoft and Sweet Bandits, layoffs have also hit Torn Banner Studios and IllFonic.

      Torn Banner Studios is perhaps best known for their work on the two Chivalry titles and their Early Access release of No More Room in Hell 2. Yesterday, a message was shared on LinkedIn by CEO and creative director Steve Piggott...
