John Carpenter, the iconic director of the original Halloween film, is partnering with Boss Team Games to develop two new games based on the Halloween franchise. This exciting collaboration was exclusively revealed by IGN.
Two New Halloween Games in the Works
Boss Team Games, creators of the successful Evil Dead: The Game, will leverage Unreal Engine 5 to bring these new titles to life. The partnership also includes Compass International Pictures and Further Front. While details are scarce, the official announcement promises players the chance to "relive moments from the film" and play as classic characters. Boss Team Games CEO, Steve Harris, described the project as a "dream come true," highlighting the opportunity to work with the Halloween franchise and its legendary director. John Carpenter, a self-described gaming enthusiast, expressed his eagerness to contribute to a truly terrifying gaming experience featuring Michael Myers.
A Halloween Gaming History
The Halloween franchise boasts a rich history in horror cinema but a relatively sparse gaming legacy. The only officially licensed Halloween game, released in 1983 for the Atari 2600, is now a collector's item. Michael Myers has, however, made appearances as a DLC character in several modern games, including Dead by Daylight, Call of Duty: Ghosts, and Fortnite.
The upcoming games' promise to feature "classic characters" strongly suggests both Michael Myers and Laurie Strode will play significant roles, continuing the iconic cat-and-mouse dynamic that defines the franchise.
The Halloween film series, spanning thirteen entries since 1978, includes:
Boss Team Games' Expertise and Carpenter's Passion
Boss Team Games' proven success with Evil Dead: The Game, developed in conjunction with Saber Interactive, demonstrates their expertise in creating immersive horror experiences. John Carpenter's passion for gaming, evident in past interviews where he's discussed his fondness for titles like Dead Space, Fallout 76, and Assassin's Creed Valhalla, ensures a unique and authentic approach to these new Halloween games.
The collaboration promises a chilling and immersive gaming experience for fans of both the Halloween franchise and the horror genre. Further details are eagerly awaited.
