A Dream Team for Horror Gamers

The partnership between Boss Team Games, Compass International Pictures, and Further Front, utilizing Unreal Engine 5, will allow players to revisit iconic moments and embody beloved characters from the Halloween films. Carpenter, a self-described gaming enthusiast, expressed his excitement about bringing Michael Myers to life in a video game, emphasizing his commitment to crafting a truly frightening experience. Boss Team Games CEO Steve Harris called the collaboration a "dream come true."

While specifics remain scarce, the announcement has ignited considerable anticipation among fans.

A Legacy of Horror, A Sparse Gaming History

The Halloween franchise boasts a rich cinematic history but a surprisingly limited video game presence. A 1983 Atari 2600 title remains the sole official game, a rare collectible today. Michael Myers has, however, appeared as DLC in various modern games, including Dead by Daylight, Call of Duty: Ghosts, and Fortnite.

The upcoming games' promise to feature "classic characters" strongly suggests the inclusion of both Michael Myers and Laurie Strode, a dynamic that has defined the franchise for decades.

The Halloween film series, a cornerstone of horror cinema, comprises:

  • Halloween (1978)
  • Halloween II (1981)
  • Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982)
  • Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988)
  • Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers (1989)
  • Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers (1995)
  • Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (1998)
  • Halloween: Resurrection (2002)
  • Halloween (2007)
  • Halloween (2018)
  • Halloween Kills (2021)
  • Halloween Ends (2022)

A Master of Horror Meets a Master of Games

Boss Team Games' expertise in horror gaming is undeniable, with Evil Dead: The Game serving as a testament to their skill in adapting beloved franchises. Carpenter's passion for gaming, openly discussed in interviews (including his admiration for Dead Space and other titles like Fallout 76, Borderlands, Horizon: Forbidden West, and Assassin's Creed Valhalla), ensures an authentic and thrilling approach to these new Halloween titles.

Fans can anticipate a truly immersive and terrifying gaming experience as development progresses.
