Halloween: The Game lands digital release in New Zealand after Australian ban

New Zealand will get a digital version of Halloween: The Game following the OFLC guidance, while Australia has not granted a classification for the title. As a result, NZ will access the digital edition, but the physical release will not be available there.

Developed by IllFonic with Gun Interactive as co-publisher, Halloween: The Game returns players to Haddonfield on Halloween night, 1978. Players can either assume the Boogeyman role or confront Michael Myers as residents of the town. The US rating board assigns several content descriptors for the game, including gore, graphic violence, nudity, mature themes, strong language, and drug use.

Release date and platforms

Plans call for a September 8, 2026 launch across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, with the Deluxe Edition providing early access starting September 4. The Australian classification status does not affect releases in other regions.
