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...

The mod that aimed to bring back the asymmetrical game was also caught in the copyright kerfuffle.

A "Resurrected" mod for Friday the 13th: The Game has come to a developmental halt after receiving a cease and desist letter. The team that aimed to resurrect the asymmetrical multiplayer title received a cease and desist letter from legal representation for Horror, Inc., the owner of the Friday the 13th film franchise.

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...

This game is based on the 1974 film of the same name. ...

Farewell dedicated servers.

Later on this month, dedicated servers will be "decommissioned" for Friday the 13th: The Game. The patch does not have a set date just yet, but consider this your warning. This comes direct from lead community developer mattshotcha on the official Friday the 13th: The Game forums.

This means that the game will still continue to live on but that there will be only peer-to-peer matchmaking from then on. He goes on to note that this upcoming...

Get the game and all DLC for $40.

Gun Media announces that the asymmetrical survival horror game, Friday the 13th: The Game - Ultimate Slasher, is now available for the Nintendo Switch. For $39.99 (USD), Switch owners will get the game along with all online game modes, plus all of the previously released content and paid DLC packs. In fact, the only thing this apparently doesn't include are the backer exclusive "Savini Jason" character and clothing packs.

It's that time once again. The time in which we find out what free games you will get if you have either Xbox's Games with Gold or PlayStation's PlayStation Plus. Some of October 2018's offerings include Friday the 13th and Hitman: Blood Money.

Let's start with the Xbox this time.

Friday the 13th: The Game will forego the obvious release date in favor of a May 26 release on the PC, PS4, and XB1. I suppose it's probably a good thing that they're doing this seeing as how the next Friday the 13th isn't until this October.

According to the launch trailer (seen below), the game will go for $40 on all platforms.
