New Halloween Game Will Include Multiplayer And Story Mode

Halloween: The Game offers a single-player story mode and multiplayer gameplay, recreating iconic 1978 film locations with authentic atmosphere and rewarding stealth and strategy.

  • Developer IllFonic announced at Gamescom that Halloween, an asymmetric stealth horror game with single- and multiplayer modes, will release for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC in 2026.
  • Working with Compass International Pictures and Further Front has been a dream, said Charles Brungardt, as IllFonic prioritizes single-player to satisfy fans who avoid multiplayer and honors John Carpenter's 1978 film.
  • In the revealed trailer and details, players can assume the role of Michael Myers or Haddonfield civilians in single‑player story mode, offline bots, and online asymmetrical PvP across multiple authentic maps.
  • IllFonic's pedigree in asymmetrical horror, known for Friday the 13th and Killer Klowns titles, underpins Halloween's development, and Gun Interactive shared, `We can’t wait to see folks in Haddonfield,` reflecting early positive reactions.
  • With John Carpenter attached, IllFonic includes a single-player campaign and offline bots, aiming to attract solo players beyond multiplayer communities alongside Compass International Pictures and Further Front.
