Friday the 13th: The Game Pulled From Sale Due to License Expiring
Friday the 13th: The Game will disappear from sale in a few months. All because of the end of the licensing agreement with the brand owners.
We have bad news for fans of Friday the 13th: The Game, an assymetric network game based on the horror film series.
- The developers have announced that the game will be withdrawn from sale on December 31, this year.
- Some consolation is that those who purchased the title earlier will be able to continue playing.
- The developers promise that the game's servers will be operational until at least December 31, 2024.
- 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.
- 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.
