After a delay to add singleplayer to the game after fan demand, the beta for Gun Media's co-op survival horror game based around the Friday the 13th series is due to start tomorrow and run until December 23rd. Gun Media have now released the details for the various Jasons and camp counselors who will be playable during that beta period, with seven different counselors being available and the Jasons from Part II, Part 3 and Part VII: The New Blood for those who wish to terrorise their friends instead of working together with them.
For those who haven't heard of the game before, it's very similar to Dead By Daylight in that it is an asymmetrical multiplayer game in which one player is a serial killer against the team of other players they're trying to kill. Unlike Dead By Daylight though, the name of the game for the players who aren't the killer is to survive the night - 7v1 means that there is a chance someone probably will.
Each Jason and each counselor have different strengths and weaknesses too, as well as playstyles so there's something to suit all players potentially. The counselors need to use their strengths to work together to stay alive and the Jason chosen depends on how the singular player wishes to approach their murdering. Simple really.
If that all sounds like fun, then you've got to pre-order the Friday the 13th game in order to get access to this closed beta. Otherwise, you'll have to wait for potential open betas or even until the release, which isn't all that far away given that it'll be in the first quarter of 2017.
