The new update for the survival horror video game "Friday the 13th: The Game" contains a new single-player component, allowing players to learn the different maps, practice roles, skip matchmaking, and compete with offline bots.
The new content is free of charge, but players will have to use in-game currency to unlock the downloadable content. It was initially available only for the PlayStation 4 but was released for Steam and Xbox One a few days later.
In addition to the new single-player mode, the new patch increases the level cap to 150. It also adds new clothing options, new grab skills for Jason, and introduces a new playable character, Shelly Finkelstein.
"The man responsible for 'handing' Jason his mask, Shelly Finkelstein will be coming back to Camp Crystal Lake to troll his fellow counselors... that is until Jason shows up!" developer Gun Media announced through its official website.
The update also gives the Virtual Cabin in "Friday the 13th: The Game" an overhaul providing new secrets for players to unveil. The in-game cabin is a combination museum and an interactive diary with information and accessibility. Exploring the cabin will allow players to uncover hidden secrets which will make the events in the game clearer.
The new update was released in time for the Christmas events that will allow players to get bonus points and perks. The rare and epic perks are up for grabs from Dec. 18 until Dec. 23. A double customization points event will follow and will run from Dec. 23 to Jan. 2, 2018.
Players also have an increased chance of unlocking the audio tapes of Pamela Vorhees and Tommy Jarvis if they log in between Dec. 23 and Dec. 27. "Friday the 13th: The Game" is available on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
