About a couple of weeks ago, the publisher Gun Media and developer IllFonic provided fans with a heads up about the next patch for the asymmetrical multiplayer survival-horror title Friday the 13th: The Game, with the update intending to focus on new content and bug fixes. Now, the companies have officially released the new patch and some of its notes, while also teasing the inclusion of the Virtual Cabin 2.0 feature.

As seen in the screenshots found below, Friday the 13th: The Game fans can get a look at the new Virtual Cabin, which is set to serve as "a combination museum" to the title, as well as "an interactive dev diary." The new Virtual Cabin is being conceived as an improvement upon the first one, and there’s supposed to be tons of content from the iconic films hidden within it. According to Gun Media and IllFonic, it ought to take a while to find all that the new Virtual Cabin has to offer, as players will need to puzzle things out to unearth all the secrets concealed inside.

The prospect of Friday the 13th: The Game's new Virtual Cabin is surely enticing to plenty of fans of the title, and they would definitely like to get the chance to explore it as soon as possible. Unfortunately, though, Gun Media and IllFonic failed to provide a specific release date for the content at this point in time. Even so, as evidenced in the companies' prior explanation of Virtual Cabin 2.0, at least the assets are going to be free of charge when they are made available.

When it comes to Friday the 13th: The Game's new patch, the notes provided by Gun Media and IllFonic aren't complete, as the companies didn't want to "spoil the surprise" of new and undisclosed content in the update. Nevertheless, the upcoming changes, refinements, and fresh materials that the publisher and developer are willing to openly share at this juncture can be found at the end of the article.

All in all, it's great to see Gun Media and IllFonic continue to provide a slew of post-launch materials and support for Friday the 13th: The Game well after its release earlier this year. And with any luck, fans will soon be given a closer look at the rest of the title's single-player content–that is, its "Challenges" and "Offline Bots"–in the coming days and weeks.
