Counselor-killing simulator Friday the 13th: The Game is heading to Nintendo Switch, Gun Media has announced.

Known as Friday the 13th: The Game – Ultimate Slasher Switch Edition, the game will arrive with all previously released DLC, so that means you get stuff like the Jason Kill Pack, Counselor Clothing pack, and Emote Party Pack. It won't, however, feature the Savini Jason character that was exclusive to Kickstarter backers.

'We’re happy to be bringing ‘Friday the 13th: The Game’ to the Nintendo Switch with the help of our partners at Black Tower and Nighthawk. The Nintendo Switch offers a unique experience, in both social settings and on the go, that we feel work very well with 'Friday the 13th: The Game,' Gun Media's Daniel Nixon told Variety.

Based on the hugely popular 80s slasher films, Friday the 13th: The Game was originally released on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC back in 2017. Set in and around Camp Crystal Lake, the game sees seven player-controller counselors attempting to evade a grisly death at the hands of silent stalker, Jason Voorhees. 

Friday the 13th: The Game – Ultimate Slasher Switch Edition is due out for Switch this spring.
