HalloweenEvil Dead The Game Publisher Announces Two New Halloween Games

In this post:

  • Boss Team Games announces two new Halloween games, with John Carpenter’s direct involvement in one.
  • One Halloween game is being developed with Unreal Engine 5, promising a cutting-edge experience.
  • Developers explore various horror formats, potentially offering both asymmetrical and survival horror experiences.

Evil Dead: The Game’s publisher, Boss Team Games has announced its development of two video games based on John Carpenter’s 1978 classic horror movie Halloween. One game will feature the original director and composer of Michael Myers’ infamous theme song, John Carpenter himself, who is deeply involved with its creation.

Both titles will be developed in partnership with Compass International Pictures and Further Front and alongside producers from the original Halloween film. One of the titles will use Unreal Engine 5, which will allow players to experience Halloween and some of its most iconic characters while going through different events in time.

John Carpenter takes an active role in the new Halloween game

John Carpenter’s involvement is expected to bring a level of authenticity and respect for the source material that fans of the original movie can appreciate. With Carpenter potentially having a hand in both narrative and musical aspects, it could be possible that this new digital recreation stays true to the terrifying atmosphere found within this 1978 classic.

Still little is known about the gameplay or structure of these titles, however, based on recent trends in horror games, one may follow an asymmetrical multiplayer format seen in games like Dead by Daylight and Friday The 13th where players could take up roles as both survivors & infamous Michael Myers himself. This tends to capture the tense nature often found within these types of films while also providing an unpredictable experience that resonates with classic characters from the Halloween universe

Developers explore new horror game formats

There is no clear direction for the second game yet, but rumors have it that it may offer a different kind of horror. In asymmetrical horror games, which are very competitive, developers may be forced to try other genres like survival horror or story-based experiences similar to Until Dawn. These forms would be more focused and immersive, maybe even based on the original film’s plot and setting.

The announcement of these two new Halloween games sets up what could potentially become significant additions to the horror gaming genre. One game using Unreal Engine 5 and Carpenter’s involvement has created an atmosphere of anticipation among fans that is hard to ignore. As more information becomes available it will be interesting to see how they differentiate themselves within a market crowded already with many different horror adaptations.
