Halloween and Ash vs. Evil Dead 16-Bit Action Platform Games Announced as Part of “RetroRealms”
Just yesterday, word was out that there were multiple games based on the Halloween franchise being made, and while one of these games is being built on Unreal Engine 5, it seems the other game is a much smaller project. Today, one of the Halloween games is announced alongside a new Ash vs. Evil Dead game, and both are 16-bit-themed action platformers!
Check out the trailer for RetroRealms where we see RetroRealms: Halloween and RetroRealms: Ash vs. Evil Dead (each sold separately) in action:
The games are being developed by Boss Team Games and WayForward Technologies, in association with Compass International Pictures, Forward Front, Lionsgate and STARZ.
More info straight from the press release:
Developed by WayForward Technologies, the RETROREALMS games let players traverse worlds and enter different realms to overcome challenges inspired by ‘Halloween’ and ‘Ash vs Evil Dead.’ Combining retro visuals with modern mechanics, players venture between two overlapping worlds, with the ability to enter the nightmare infested Dark Realm at any time, which unlocks shortcuts, hidden pathways, and rewards for those brave enough to enter.
The two RETROREALMS titles, each sold separately, connect with each other to create an ever-expanding universe of popular characters that unlocks additional gameplay. The games can be played individually or, if both titles are purchased, new features can be accessed including taking characters from one game into the other. Players can also commemorate their achievements within the RetroRealms Arcade, a lovingly realized 3D gateway and tribute to arcade gaming that connects both RETROREALMS titles, providing a single way to access every game in the series and to redeem in-game tickets, view leaderboards, and find other exclusive content.
Both titles will be released simultaneously on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC on October 18, 2024 for $24.99 each or bought together via pre-order now in a physical Double Feature bundle fir $49.99. All game pre-orders placed before October 18 will grant the buyer one additional fan-favorite character with purchase (Laurie Strode included with RETROREALMS: HALLOWEEN and Kelly Maxwell included with RETROREALMS: ASH VS EVIL DEAD) included as bonus playable DLC with their own weapons, story, and playstyle).
