The partnership sees horror icon Jason become available within Call of Duty’s Halloween event, The Haunting. With the Jason Operator Bundle, players can wear Jason-inspired looks in-game, including the Tactical Jason design, or play as or against the killer in the Slasher Deathmatch: Jason game mode.

Elsewhere, Jason arrives in Fortnite on October 17th as part of its Fortnitemare event. Alongside the Jason outfit and exclusive emotes, Jason appears as a boss enemy and will also feature in the Jason Haunted Cup tournament. Top performing teams will win 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.”

Sheri Conn, Chief Marketing Officer of Horror, Inc, added: “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.”

Marc Toberoff, on behalf of Friday 13th LLC, said: “For over 45 years, Jason has been one of the horror community’s most iconic figures. 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.”

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 with a collectible figure.
