Sometime in 2026, it will be the „night he came home,“ as Illfonic and Gun Media have revealed Halloween: The Game, a new single-player and multiplayer take on John Carpenter’s iconic 1978 slasher. The duo previously worked together on Friday The 13th: The Game, a beloved multiplayer spin on another masked slasher franchise.
Halloween debuted during the recent Future Games Show, coinciding with Gamescom 2025. The game is said to be due out in 2026 on Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and PC. It seems to focus specifically on adapting material based on the first movie.
In Halloween: The Game, players will take on the roles of either residents of Haddonfield, Illinois or The Shape himself, Michael Myers. As residents, players will need to survive, stick to the shadows, warn other residents, and hopefully reach the authorities before Michael gashes them up.
