Video tour of the cancelled Grendel map from Friday the 13th: The Game

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

This is both interesting and sad to see. A Facebook page dedicated to Gun Media and IllFonic's Friday the 13th: The Game has released a video that shows a complete walkthrough of the JASON X Grendel spaceship map which was in development but will apparently never be added to the game. All updates to the content of the game were recently cancelled, thanks to a court battle being waged between original FRIDAY THE 13TH director Sean S. Cunningham and writer Victor Miller over the rights to the franchise.

So below we have a glimpse at what could have been. Players of the game could have been wandering around in this map, chasing and killing each other in its hi-tech corridors, if only the release of the game hadn't coincided with the rights issue.

The Grendel map was still being worked on when this video was made, there are some unfinished areas and elements, but it's an intriguing (and lengthy) look at the place nonetheless.

Since Grendel was going to be added to the game, there were also plans to add in the Jason who walked the halls of the spaceship in JASON X, Uber Jason. You can see what he would have looked like in the image above.
