Get those knives ready because there will be two newHalloweengames based on John Carpenter’s terrifying universe. One of thoseHalloweentitles will be developed in Unreal Engine 5 and helmed by Boss Team Games, a studio already familiar with the movie-to-horror-game pipeline after creatingEvil Dead: The Game.
According to anIGNexclusive report, these games will have players “relive moments from the film and play as classic characters from one of the most iconic and important horror films of all time.” The Unreal Engine 5 title (an engine whichSplitgate 2also uses) is reportedly “still early in development.” Both Compass International Pictures and Further Front are working alongside Boss Team Games, and John Carpenter himself will be “intimately involved” with the project.
“Everyone at Boss Team Games are huge fans of horror andHalloweenobviously holds a special place in the hearts of all horror fans,” said Boss Team Games CEO Steve Harris, according to IGN. “Getting to work with iconic characters like Michael Myers and build on John Carpenter’s original vision is literally a dream come true.”
No release date hasyet been given for either of the twoHalloweengames. However, if it’s anything likeEvil Dead: The Game,at least one of the titles will likely be asynchronous multiplayer. This involves one person playing the horrifying Michael Myers, and the others playing survivors. It would work similarly toDead by Daylightif this is the case.
We gaveEvil Dead: The Gamea 7/10 inour review, explaining, “Evil Dead: The Gameis an authentic and passionate recreation of a chaotic, violent, and wildly slapstick classic. Though plaudits are deserved for the title’s atmosphere and fan-pleasing references, a litany of technical hiccups, unstable mechanics, and odd design choices frequently hinder this promising release.”
Hopefully, thisHalloweengame will run better than its predecessor when it launches.
