Another film adaptation is in the works, courtesy of IllFonic and Gun Interactive. However, this raises the question of how long it will be available before the license expires.

It’s Halloween night in 1978. The unsuspecting families of the quiet, suburban town of Haddonfield are preparing for the holiday, unaware that evil has made its way home. In Halloween, the ultimate asymmetrical horror sandbox, take the Shape of Evil as Michael Myers or save your neighbors as a Hero of Haddonfield. Players wearing the mask become the Boogeyman and stalk innocent residents with relentless obsession. Using a nightmarish array of abilities, Michael uses shadows and stealth to satisfy his bloodlust.

However, this doesn’t mean that Haddonfield is going down without a fight. Frightened townsfolk will call the local authorities and fight back when threatened, so Michael must avoid detection. For the first time ever, fans of the original film can witness the haunting events surrounding “The Night He Came Home” through Michael’s eyes in a standalone single-player story mode.

As a Hero of Haddonfield, your job is to alert the residents to the impending evil and help them escape Michael’s unyielding pursuit before they fall victim to it. In dynamic, ever-changing, 1v4, asymmetrical multiplayer matches, hero players must arm themselves with everyday household items and weapons and use their knowledge to combat an unpredictable, unkillable enemy. Convincing townsfolk and contacting the police will lead to increasingly powerful and thorough neighborhood patrols. To even the odds, you can command and equip NPCs with weapons to outsmart or overpower the Shape, creating windows of opportunity for escape.

Powered by Unreal Engine 5, this immersive horror sandbox delivers engaging and dynamic gameplay systems, lifelike NPCs, hauntingly realistic visuals, cinema-quality lighting, and endless scares for you and your friends. Asymmetrical horror comes home for Halloween.

The game will also have a single-player option, which is definitely good news. The release date is still unknown, but the target platforms are known: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC.
