Halloween: The Game is an Unreal Engine 5 horror title scheduled for launch on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC in 2026. The game recreates the 1978 film's atmosphere with a one-versus-many stealth horror experience featuring Michael Myers. Players can don Michael's mask and play as the killer in online multiplayer or escape as a civilian in Haddonefield. The release includes a story mode and the option to play against bots. The game will offer multiple maps and a soundtrack inspired by the original movie. John Carpenter is credited as an executive producer and IllFonic is the developer.
Announced on August 20, Halloween: The Game, which isn't the most creative name, will be heavily inspired by the original movie and will feature a "one-versus-many stealth horror experience." The game will let players put on Michael's mask and stab their friends online in multiplayer or run away from the killer as a civilian of Haddonefield. IllFonic, the team developing Halloween: The Game, is a studio that has become well-known for its focus on asymmetrical online games like Predator: Hunting Grounds.
In a press release for the newly announced horror game, it was confirmed that Halloween will include a story mode and the ability to play against bots, too. As someone who has been disappointed by so many horror movie franchises getting video game adaptations that are purely online-only, this is good news. And I imagine many other players will agree. Halloween: The Game will also feature "multiple maps" and a soundtrack "inspired by" that of the original Halloween movie.
"Working with Compass International Pictures and Further Front has been a dream," said Charles Brungardt, CEO of IllFonic. "As rights holders of the film and producers on the game, they've shared incredible insights to help us stay true to the soul of the 1978 film. Their tremendous passion for Michael Myers has pushed us to craft something that fans of the franchise will truly appreciate."
