Back in 2018, the complicated legal issues that are still plaguing the entire Friday the 13th franchise claimed Gun Media’s Friday the 13th: The Game as a victim, ensuring that new content will probably never again be added to the game. But while the developers cannot currently add anything new into it, they’re still fixing bugs and maintaining the game.
On that note, many players have been experiencing server issues in recent weeks, and Gun Media has released a statement this weekend letting us know precisely what’s going on.
Unfortunately, hackers are targeting Camp Crystal Lake.
“Beginning the first of July and continuing over the last ten days, there have been hacking attempts on Friday the 13th: The Game affecting matchmaking, gameplay, and player progression,” Gun Media announced in a press release. “We are in the process of conducting our own internal investigation and have engaged a third party international computer forensics company. We are working with our development partners toward preventing further disruptions. These attempts and the harm to our player base constitute a crime.
“So, in addition to our other efforts above, we will also be fully cooperating with any resulting law enforcement investigations. We have not detected any loss of or unauthorized access to any personal or financial player information. Due to the criminal nature of this intrusion and the ongoing investigation as to its origins, we are currently unable to share additional information.”
