Forsaken Update | Buffed Jason, New Achievements, Pride Skins – Itโs been quiet in Forsaken. A little too quiet. For the past month, players have been logging in, grinding the same modes, dodging killers, and wondering โ โWhereโs the next update?โ
Well, the waitโs over.
Tomorrow โ Friday the 13th, June 2025 โ Forsaken is finally dropping a new update, and itโs bringing back a name that horror fans know all too well: Jason.
๐ง Who Is Jason, and Why Should You Care?
Unless youโve been living under a rock โ or maybe you’re just too young โ Jason Voorhees is the iconic hockey-mask-wearing, machete-swinging killer from the legendary Friday the 13th slasher series.
In the world of Forsaken, Jasonโs more than just a throwback โ heโs a milestone.
Some of the gameโs most menacing skins? Yep, inspired by him.
Some of the eeriest vibes? Thatโs Jasonโs shadow creeping through them.
And now, heโs getting a full-blown buffed-up makeover, just in time for the creepiest date on the calendar.
๐ New Achievement: โMotherโs Callingโ
For all you completionists and killer mains, thereโs a limited-time achievement dropping with the update:
๐๏ธ โMotherโs Callingโ โ Play as Jason on Friday the 13th.
Itโs reminiscent of the March event where John Doe got a massive buff and a โplay-on-a-specific-dateโ achievement. History is repeating itself โ and Jasonโs stepping up.
Expect his current stats to get a serious upgrade, turning him from a solid killer into an absolute nightmare.
๐ช A Buffed-Up Jason: What to Expect
Letโs talk gameplay.
Jason already felt strong if you knew how to manage sprint and pressure the map โ but after the buff? Heโll be relentless.
Imagine:
- Faster sprint regen
- Longer chase beams
- Tighter hitboxes
- And possibly… a new chase sound or skin effect?
One theory floating around is that Jasonโs event icon โ that chilling new look on-screen โ might even become an exclusive skin if you complete the new achievement. If that happens? You bet itโs going to become a flex piece in lobbies.
๐ฎ Pre-Buff Gameplay Experience
Before the buff hits, itโs worth jumping into a few games as Jason. See how he feels in his current form. Heโs already terrifying if you know how to conserve energy, time your strikes, and capitalize on mistakes.
In fact, during one of my runs, I went full beast mode โ dashing through survivors, cutting down those who dared stab me (note to self: stab me once, youโre out), and cleaning up matches in record time.
Jason, even now, rewards calculated aggression. Post-buff? Heโs going to punish hesitation like never before.
๐คก Survivor Side: Facing the Monster
Now, what about playing against Jason?
Itโs rough. I hopped in as Shelli, thinking I could kite and heal like old times โ nope. Jason was on me in seconds. I danced through tight corners, tried to heal, juked left and right… still got slammed. Barely made it out alive.
Let me be real: if youโre not focused, Jason will wreck you. And once the update hits? Good luck.
My advice?
- Stick with your squad.
- Donโt waste sprint.
- If you see Jasonโs mask โ run.
๐ Final Thoughts: This Isnโt Just an Update โ Itโs a Statement
Forsakenโs Friday the 13th event isnโt a filler patch. Itโs a love letter to horror fans, a challenge for killer mains, and a wake-up call for anyone sleeping on the game.
Whether youโre a hunter or a survivor, this is one of those moments where you want to log in.
โ
Get the โMotherโs Callingโ achievement.
โ
Try Jason before and after the buff.
โ
If youโre lucky, snag an exclusive skin.
Just remember: youโve got one shot โ Friday, June 13th. After that, Jason may still haunt Forsaken, but the reward? Thatโs a one-day deal.
See you out there. And if you see a hockey mask in the fog?
Donโt turn around.
