Developers Gun Mediaannounced the updateon Twitter. While it may be for technical reasons, it’s an extra incentive to give the game a go before it begins to disappear.

The full list of changes coming this Thursday, July 6th, includes making 30 Legendary Perks available to all, boosting all players to level 150, unlocking Challenge Skulls, all Jason’s Kills, and removing the ability to earn XP - which would previously have gated access to the aforementioned.

Last month, Gun Media reduced the price of Friday The 13th to $5 and all of its DLC to $1 in light of its impending death. That said, while it’ll be removed from sale on December 31st 2023, it should “continue to function through at least December 31, 2024,” its developers say. That might in part be becauseits dedicated servers were shut down in 2020and it has relied on peer-to-peer multiplayer since.
