In 2026, a new video game simply titled Halloween will arrive on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. The game is being developed by IllFonic, the same team responsible for Friday the 13th: The Game, Predator: Hunting Grounds, and Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed. Like those games, Halloween will be an asymmetrical take on the brand, with players taking on the roles of Citizens living in the town of Haddonfield, or Michael himself. While online multiplayer seems to be the big hook, players can also expect a story mode as well as offline play with bots. The first teaser for the game can be found below.
What to Expect from the New Halloween Game
Unfortunately, a lot of details about Halloween are still being kept under wraps. We know that players can expect to see multiple maps based on the original 1978 film, and some of the goals players will have as Michael or as Civilians. Civilian players will attempt to warn their fellow citizens about Michael’s return, including the authorities. Naturally, the villain will have to stop them from doing so by whatever means necessary. In a press release, IllFonic CEO and co-founder Charles Brungardt talked about the studio’s new endeavor.
“Working with Compass International Pictures and Further Front has been a dream,” said Brungardt. “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.”
