I like to imagine that controlling Jason Voorhees is a dream for many a gamer. I’m getting older, I’m hating people younger than me now more than ever and burying a digital machete in their soft skulls is kind of cathartic on a digital level. Gun Media and developer Illfonic knows of this bloodlust, as they’ve announced that Friday The 13th: The Game will hit digital shelves on May 26 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. Which is thirteen doubled, so I see what they did there.

It’s that trademark viciousness of Jason Voorhees which the developers behind the Friday The 13th game want to capture, and they're not exactly holding back on the gore.

And the original summer camp counsellor extinction event returns soon, in a brand new game that looks utterly brutal. I’m talking Mortal Kombat X levels of gore here folks. Don’t say I didn’t warn you, because this may not be the faint of heart. Probably because Jason is holding it right now.

It's been eight years since Jason Voorhees last made Friday the 13th a day to remember, but he's finally returning to Crystal Lake.

Good news slasher fans! Friday The 13th will have a single-player element added to it after all. You'll just have to wait a little bit longer for it.

Since 2015 however, Mortal Kombat X has added several new fighters, DLC characters with their own signature extreme moves. Here’s how you can perform their visceral finishers:

KA-SHA-SHA-SHA! Horny camp councillors beware, because Jason Voorhees is coming for you thanks to a successful Kickstarter campaign. Top tip: Don't hide in a sleeping bag.
