IllFonic, known for other asymmetrical multiplayer titles such as Killer Klowns From Outer Space and Predator: Hunting Grounds, is keen to keep you playing its multiplayer games by investing in a new universe. This time around, the studio aims to recreate the iconic horror of Halloween. The upcoming Halloween game is, of course, an asymmetrical multiplayer game in which one person takes on the role of Michael Myers, and the other players become prospective survivors hoping to live through the night. It’s coming to a system near you next year!
Halloween officially launches worldwide on September 8, 2026, for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
Death comes to Haddonfield in Halloween, a chilling tribute to the iconic John Carpenter’s classic film. Survive or slay across the tense streets and dark corners of Haddonfield in this asymmetrical horror sandbox, taking on the role of either a desperate Civilian or the infamous Michael Myers himself. In each high-stakes cat-and-mouse match, every decision means life or death.
As a Civilian, protect the townsfolk by guiding them to safety, scavenging for weapons and supplies, and finding a phone to call the police before it’s too late. Danger lurks around every corner, and survival depends on strategy, teamwork, and quick thinking. Meanwhile, Michael Myers stalks the shadows, using terrifying abilities like Shape Jump to move unseen across the map and strike without warning in a heart-pounding experience.
On the project, Jared Gerritzen, CCO of IllFonic, said:
Our goal is to push the horror experience to the next level with single and multiplayer modes so players can get the most out of the game. Whether they become the boogeyman or fight to protect Michael Myers’ victims, Halloween promises an unforgettable battle of fear and survival.
Go ahead and wishlist the game on your preferred system, like over on Steam!
