Horror, Inc.’s Jason Universe is coming to two of the biggest games in the world this Halloween season as Jason slashes his way into Call of Duty's The Haunting and Fortnite's Fortnitemares.
Available now in Call of Duty with the Jason Operator Bundle, fans can suit up as the iconic killer in two different looks, including a brand-new Tactical Jason design exclusive to the Call of Duty universe. Along with Jason skins and weapons, players can play as and against Jason in the limited time Slasher Deathmatch: Jason game mode, where Jason must track down and eliminate a group of survivors before time runs out.
Next, Jason lands in Fortnite on October 17 with the Jason outfit, exclusive emotes, and more. He’s also already terrorizing the battle royale as a boss enemy who hunts nearby players with low health, rewarding those who defeat him with powerful loot including a mythic weapon. Lucky players can score big by competing in the Jason Haunted Cup tournament on October 16, with top performing teams in each region winning early access to the Jason outfit.
“The demand to see Jason in Call of Duty and Fortnite has been relentless–and we’ve heard you,” said Robbie Barsamian, Executive Vice President of Horror, Inc. “Jason Universe is all about bringing the GOAT back. Fans have waited long enough.”
“Dropping Jason into iconic games like Call of Duty and Fortnite is such a killer crossover–literally," said Sheri Conn, Chief Marketing Officer of Horror, Inc. “Players get to step into the boots of a horror legend, but on entirely new terms. It’s a chance to see Jason unleashed in worlds with different rules, mechanics, and mayhem.”
“For over 45 years, Jason has been one of the horror community’s most iconic figures,” said Marc Toberoff, on behalf of 'Friday 13th' LLC. “He will always adapt to the times and the mediums that matter to fans. To see Jason step back into the gaming arena is an exciting moment in his ever-evolving legacy, and one that will connect with both longtime fans and a new generation of players.”
Additionally, new apparel and collectibles inspired by these collaborations will launch in the coming months from partners including Youtooz, who will bring Call of Duty’s Tactical Jason to life for the first time with a new collectible figure
