Friday the 13th: The Game's slaughtering days are numbered, with the news coming down that the licence for the game is set to expire on 31st December (a Sunday, sadly). The game will no longer be available for sale from that date onwards, either physically or digitally.
The upside is that players that own the game or purchase it before the appointed date are able to play for another year, with game servers continuing to function through at least 31st December 2024 (a Tuesday).
Launched back in 2017 (on a Friday, but not the 13th) for PS4, the game has had a pretty good run, and we have to imagine the hardcore have likely had their fill at this point. If not, another year sounds like a fair amount of time in which to tie up any lingering loose ends.
