Halloween: The Game will release on September 8 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Players can become Michael Myers or survivors, with both multiplayer and single-player modes available.
Fans of the Halloween series finally have a release date for the new game. IllFonic and Gun Interactive have confirmed that Halloween: The Game will launch on September 8 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The game is based on John Carpenter's 1978 Halloween movie and brings back Michael Myers as the main villain. Players can either play as Myers or try to survive as one of the people trapped in Haddonfield. The game will include both online multiplayer and a single-player mode.
The release date was announced during Sony's State of Play event. Halloween: The Game is based on the first Halloween movie released in 1978. The game takes players back to Haddonfield, where Michael Myers begins his attacks. One player can control Michael Myers, while others play as survivors who must work together, complete tasks, hide from the killer and find a way to escape.
The game is mainly built around asymmetrical multiplayer gameplay, where one player becomes Michael Myers and the rest play as survivors. At the same time, the developers have confirmed that the game will also have a dedicated single-player mode. While they have not shared many story details yet, they have said that filmmaker John Carpenter helped shape the game's story, making it closer to the original movie.
The developers have tried to keep the game close to the classic Halloween film. Nick Castle, who played Michael Myers in the original 1978 movie, has returned to perform motion capture for the character along with TJ Storm. Dr. Samuel Loomis, one of the most well-known characters from the films, will also appear in the game. Many locations and scenes are inspired by the original movie to give fans a familiar experience.
Halloween: The Game will launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC through Steam and the Epic Games Store on September 8. Pre-orders are already available on digital stores, and physical editions are also planned for selected platforms. Developed by IllFonic and published with Gun Interactive, the game is expected to be one of the biggest horror game releases of the year.
