Gun Media und Illfonic arbeiten nach wie vor an einer Singleplayer-Erfahrung für ‚Friday: The 13th – The Game‘, dessen Zeitplan sich offenbar sich offenbar etwas verschoben hat.
Seit dem Release des Spiels im vergangenen Mai hatte man sich vornehmlich neuen Patches gewidmet, um eine möglichst reibungslose Erfahrung gewährleisten zu können. Der Singleplayer sollte dann in diesem Sommer folgen, hat nach wie vor aber keinen finalen Termin, wie man jetzt auf Nachfrage bei Twitter erfahren konnte. Dort heißt es lediglich, dass man weiterhin daran arbeitet und man die Leute wirklich damit beeindrucken möchte, bevor man das Ganze veröffentlicht.
Single player is a work in progress. No official release date yet. We want to be satisfied before we unleash it! Please stay tuned!

Aktuelle Patch Notes
Indes sind die aktuellen Patch Notes eingetroffen, die im kommenden Update umgesetzt werden. Damit finden bedeutende Änderungen den Weg ins Spiel, etwa dass man seine eigenen Team Mates nicht mehr killen kann, sowie werden wohl auch kleinere Maps der bisherigen veröffentlicht. Alle Details dazu könnt ihr folgend nachlesen.
Stability
- Overall stability should be drastically improved due to a number of crash fixes and a major memory leak fix.
Parties/Invites/Matchmaking
- Disallowing party leaders to join game session invites to sessions that do not advertise (private matches). This is due to not being able to search for sessions that do not advertise, which prevents party members from following their leader into them.
- Party leaders can now follow public game invites, bringing members with them.
- Steam Matchmaking tries harder to find lower-pinging matches. PS4 matchmaking up to 6x more efficient with tighter ping requirements.
- Fixed XB1 matchmaking bugs.
