Blue Wizard Digital, the team behind the critically acclaimed horror puzzler Slayaway Camp, has announced that its more recently released hit Friday the 13th: Killer Puzzle is headed to Nintendo Switch.
The game released on Steam, iOS, and Android earlier this year, generating over 8 million downloads in the process, and is now targetting a terrifying release on Switch just in time for Halloween. Players must slide the franchise's main character Jason Voorhees around isometric levels to brutally attack his victims, either directly with weapons like chainsaws and machetes, or indirectly, such as frightening them so much that they fall into a campfire. Lovely.
To provide a break from the puzzling action, action-based 'kill scenes' play out as you progress through the game's multiple episodes. You'll be exploring campgrounds, abandoned amusement parks, prisons, beach resorts, and even slightly crazier places like outer space and Victorian London.
The game will slash its way to Switch on 25th October, with pre-orders starting tomorrow on the 5th October.
Will you be getting this one to celebrate Halloween this year? Let us know below.

looks fun!
Wow, mobile games.
Is it basically just Jason in the slayaway camp? Because the gameplay looks the same
@AG_Awesome my thoughts exactly
This is free on Android and honestly, it's not really worth the money
I used to play Friday 13th on the Amstrad CPC (probably the same game on C64 / Speccy)
It had that repetitive 8 Bit style music.
When I saw the headline, I was hoping this was a re release of the 8 Bit Version

It'll sell due to having the 'Friday The 13th' name...other than that, doesn't look that great. I'll get it unfortunately, just because it's Friday The 13th (fan here) just like I got the game for PS4 and XBONE (even though I never played them due to bad internet and wanted to keep them sealed). Still though, if this is more than $20, it's a little steep in price. Can we get the original NES version re-released, along with the NES version of Nightmare On Elm Street?
good God, yuck, it looks like Super Mario RPG had a child with South Park !!!
@AG_Awesome It's from the same devs who made Slayaway Camp so it probably does have the same gameplay.
@JLPick This is a puzzle game that was previously on mobile and PC, not Friday the 13th: The Game from last year.
While I enjoyed Slayaway Camp, I did not get all the way through it because it wore thin after the first 8 horror movies or so. Fun game but I doubt I'll pick this since I got my fill in Slayaway Camp.
@20wonders yes. That’s why I mentioned it because I think they did the same engine with palette swaps for Jason. Maybe it’s like a spiritual sequel if they did some gameplay updates.
Kinda reminds me of Tomb Raider Go and Hitman Go from Square.
Solve 'em, Mommy. Solve 'em.
Pass
@Deadlyblack I would love to have Hitman Go on the Switch!
@JLPick Still though, if this is more than $20, it's a little steep in price.
If it's more than free, it would be too steep in price, considering it's free on mobile. No to mention, it's just Slayaway Camp with Jason Voorhees slapped in the gameplay.
@JLPick I had the Friday the 13th game on nes and remember it being pretty solid. Never played nightmare though. How was it gameplay wise?
it is a very fun little game, i have it on my cellphone but i got stuck in the last world(stage), maybe if it is less that $10 i'll buy it
Its still free on steam right now. why would anyone pay money for it?
Sounds like a good fit for Switch.
Meh just give us a new Splatterhouse or a trilogy collection of the 3 classic ones.
@nintendobynature nightmare on elm street was a little better than the friday the 13th. Both were pretty tough to actually beat, but I'd say the nightmare game was far better with the graphics! Plus, you get to battle the big freddy head from part 3!!!
@20wonders I know...just wish it was a better Jason game coming over to switch, and was hoping that the one that came out last year would come over instead. Also was hoping for the original from the NES.
