Publisher Gun Media says it will release one final update for Friday the 13th: The Game before shutting the multiplayer slasher fests dedicated servers down.MINECRAFTis youll still be able to play online through peer-to-peer and private matchmaking, and you wont lose any progression youve made due to the server shutdown.

Gun Media promised to share more details on the update one week before it lands in November. In the meantime, it said it will fix a long list of player issues. Those who need to get technical support will be able to do so through JasonKillsBugs.com and the game will continue to be sold. However, outside of important announcements, you wont see much activity from the titles official social media channels, and while youll still be able to visit the official community forums, you wont be able to post on them.

In a way, its surprising Friday the 13th: The Game got as much support as it did. After a lawsuit over who owns the rights to the franchises characters derailed Gun Medias DLC plans, it seemed like the games days were numbered, but the company went on to port the title to Nintendo Switch. Meanwhile, developer Illfonic went on to find success with Predator: Hunting Grounds, and avoided the copyright issues that plagued its earlier effort.
