Developers Behind Friday the 13th: The Game Are Making a New Halloween Game
Illfonic and Gun Interactive are teaming up once more for yet another asymmetric stealth horror game. However, this time we won’t be fighting for lives against our favorite hockey mask killer, but instead will be trying to survive the relentless, merciless hunt of Michael Myers. That’s right, Halloween: The Game has been announced, and it’s set to release next year.
Not only will it feature multiplayer, but t’ll have a single-player mode this time around.
The Night He Came Home… to Your Console and PC
It’s just a short teaser, but Illfonic and Gun Interactive have released a brief description of the game, confirming a story mode, online multiplayer, and even offline bots. This means you don’t have to worry about the servers shutting down, as was the case with Friday the 13th.
Step into the chilling world of John Carpenter’s genre-defining film, now transformed into a suspenseful one-versus-many stealth horror experience. Put on the iconic mask to become the ultimate slasher, Michael Myers, stalking and executing the citizens of Haddonfield one by one, or striving to thwart Michael Myers’ plans as Civilians determined to save the unaware townsfolk before it’s too late.
Stick to the shadows as Civilians, seeking out Haddonfield residents to warn them and searching for a way to contact the authorities. As Michael Myers, give them a reason to fear the dark and cut the phone lines to prevent the police from ruining his favorite holiday. Whether playing solo in story mode, against bots offline, or facing others in online multiplayer, each mode rewards stealth, strategy, and skillful play.
Staying true to the original film, IllFonic masterfully recreates the eerie atmosphere of Haddonfield across multiple maps and authentic locations. With a haunting ambience and score inspired by the legendary movie, Halloween brings the terror home in a new experience that will keep both old and new generations looking over their shoulders.
For those wondering, John Carpenter, the co-writer and director of the original movies, will be involved in the project and is likely to assist with creating the single-player story. So yeah, there’s that to look forward to!
Halloween: The Game is set to arrive in 2026, for the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
