Jason Voorhees Enters the Arena: The Legend Joins the World of Hellbreak

The chilling reign of Jason Voorhees is officially making the jump from the slasher films to the tabletop, as the legendary killer is set to join the burgeoning horror trading card game, Hellbreak. This exciting expansion brings one of horror’s most iconic villains into a world of competitive monster battles, promising fans a new dimension to experience the Friday the 13th franchise.

Hellbreak, developed in collaboration with Ghost Galaxy and other major entertainment entities like Spin Master and Universal Products & Experiences, is designed around intense one-on-one battles between legendary monsters. Now, the roster has been dramatically enhanced by the addition of Jason Voorhees, allowing players to unleash his fearsome power in strategic confrontations with other genre titans.

The concept behind Hellbreak centers on pitting these legendary figures against each other in fast-paced, strategic combat. Adding Jason to the game marks a major milestone for the entire project, bringing together beloved horror icons for a truly unique competitive experience.

Industry leaders are thrilled by the collaboration. Doug Wadleigh, President of Toys at Spin Master, noted that including Jason was essential, stating that his addition “marks a major milestone for the game and for fans who have been waiting to see these legends collide.”

Robbie Barsamian, Executive Vice President of Horror, Inc., emphasized the expanded experience this collaboration offers. He noted that allowing players to unleash Jason to battle other horror legends in bloody tabletop fights is a first-of-its-kind moment for the franchise, letting fans choose from their favorite Friday the 13th and Jason Universe favorites for epic showdowns.

Hellbreak is set to make its presence felt at major gaming events. Fans attending Gen Con, running from July 30 through August 2, will have a chance to preview the game and interact with the new monster roster firsthand at booth #2727.
