Evil Returns Next Year as “Halloween” Debuts Gameplay and Release Date Nailed Down
The embodiment of evil from the Halloween franchise, Michael Myers, is back, and more brutal than ever as he hunts down a group of innocent teens in IllFonic‘s newest asymmetrical multiplayer, Halloween.
Announced last month, horror fans better get ready, because evil isn’t dying tonight. The horror game’s release date has been revealed, and we even get our first glimpse at gameplay too.
From Jason to Michael Myers, Illfonic Takes on Another Classic Horror IP
Illfonic’s Halloween adaptation has been given a release date as well as a first look at its gameplay. As previously detailed, the title, much like Illfonic’s previous games, will feature an asymmetrical multiplayer game where one player takes on the role of Michael Myers, while the rest play as survivors.
However, it’s not solely going to be a multiplayer game, as it’s also been confirmed that there will be a single-player mode, with the man himself, John Carpenter, being involved in the story. Details on the campaign are still limited, and likely will be for a while, as Halloween won’t be released until September 8, 2026.
As for platforms, it’ll launch on PC, the PS5, and Xbox Series X|S later next year.
