Friday The 13th Virtual Cabin Teased In New Images, New Patch Notes Released (GALLERY)
New images have emerged from publisher Gun Media and Illfonic with an inside look at the development of the latest and upcoming update for the Friday the 13th: The Game‘s virtual cabin and more. The virtual cabin is essentially a “interactive developer diary” and “combination museum”. In fact, the new and improved virtual cabin is an “expansion and complete overhaul of the original” plan.
At the end of the patch notes, there is a gallery of the progress so far with the 2.0 version. When it is ready, it will come to players at no additional cost for all platforms (PC, PS4, and Xbox One). The patch notes on the other hand, which can be viewed below, also reveal a peek into the updates and changes heading to the game soon. It includes changes to the Jarvis House, counselors, Jason himself, and general bug fixes. Without further ado, check out the inside look on the next Friday the 13th: The Game update below:
