Gun Media announces plans for Summer Camp, a "1980s-themed slasher game" set in a camp coming to Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Details are scant, as there's not much yet on the Summer Camp website and the announcement trailer is a live-action grindhouse movie send-up. Here's word for now:

Gun Media, the designers behind Breach & Clear, Breach & Clear: Deadline and Speakeasy, have teamed up with horror film icon Tom Savini to announce Slasher Vol. 1: Summer Camp. The first installment in a series that pays homage to the splatter/slasher movies that dominated the eighties, Summer Camp is a third-person survival game set in a wooded campground similar to those of Sleepaway Camp, The Burning and the Friday the 13th franchise. Within the campground players take on the role of one of 6-8 teen counselors – or the killer – and are asked to survive the night.

“This is my love letter to the classic films of the slasher/splatter era,” said Wes Keltner, Founder and Creative Director of Gun Media. “I want that experience of being helpless, running for my life against an unstoppable killer. But I knew I needed help to do it right. Who else could I turn to for a campy, 80s slasher than the Sultan of Splatter, Tom Savini? His FX defined the splatter/slasher genre.”

"I've always wondered why a game like this didn't exist,” said horror FX icon Tom Savini, founder of Tom Savini’s Special Make-up Effects Program. “Sure, there are great horror titles, but none that really touch on the slasher genre. When Wes approached me, I could tell immediately that he was on to something. He was coming at this project from a whole different angle.”
