Friday the 13th: The Game has just ended online service, and since fans knew it💖 was coming, they had the chance to give the survival horror multiplayer a pro🔥per burial – one that involves bikinis and stuff. 

While Friday the 13th was , players who already owned the game had access to it through the very end of New Year's Eve 2024. So, instead of choreogr⛦aphing their midnight kisses, fans decided to put on their best ass-breaking dance emotes and shimmy throughout a forlorn Camp Crystal 🅠Lake. 

It's been a difficult journey for Friday the 13th: The Game. It succeeded in collecting a dedicated fanbase upon its release in 2017, but franchise creator 💫Victor Miller's legal battle over copyright first killed its ability to release new content, then Friday the 13th closed its servers in 202🌟0, enabling only peer-to-peer matchmaking. That brings us back to the game's permanent shutdown on December 31, 2024. 

Immortal hockey mask killer Jason and his victims put aside their differences for the end of an era, and in their cabin's living room. Some people got to play a few final matches – in the asymmetrical game, a team of counselors try to kill Jason before he slaughters them – a🍷nd others in their swimsuits until their screens went black. 

"What Iಞ would give for one more hour," one player🍬 despaired . 

"That 12:01 cutoff time hit like bricks for a lot of long-time players," . "My only hope is that someday we see 🐲a new title for Jason that’s like this.꧂ [...] If done right, it could be something truly special. But it’ll never be as special as what we had."

Weeks before it dies for good, Friday the 13th: The Game isn't just surprisingly active - it's the most fun I've had with a multiplayer horror game all year.
