Friday the 13th: The Game Pulled From Sale Due to License Expiring

We have bad news for fans of Friday the 13th: The Game, an assymetric network game based on the horror film series.

1. The developers have announced that the game will be withdrawn from sale on December 31, this year.
2. Some consolation is that those who purchased the title earlier will be able to continue playing.
3. The developers promise that the game's servers will be operational until at least December 31, 2024.
4. The decision to withdraw the game from sale is due to the fact that the license deal for the brand will expire at the end of this year.
5. The developers will soon reduce the price of the game to $4.99, and each DLC will cost $0.99.

Recall that Friday the 13th: The Game debuted in 2017 on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Two years later, a version for Nintendo Switch was released. The game was warmly received - on Steam 79% of player reviews praised the title.

Friday the 13th: The Game unfortunately can no longer boast a large community. In 2018 the work on further DLCs was discontinued, and yesterday's activity record was a mere 280 concurrent players on Steam. So it is not surprising that it does not make sense from financial point of view to renew the license.
