Watch the trailer
Set on Halloween night, 1978, in Haddonfield, the six-chapter story is told from Dr. Sam Loomis’s perspective and traces the origins of Michael Myers’ blue jumpsuit, mask, and knife. The title also revisits the infamous babysitter sequence using a sandbox framework that rewards patient, deliberate, and brutal play.
Beyond the narrative, you can participate in 1v4 matches as either the Boogeyman or a civilian racing to break free. In the Boogeyman role, you pursue residents with a terrifying toolkit of abilities and stealth; as a Civilian, you warn teammates, summon help, scavenge for makeshift tools, and work to outlast the unstoppable hunter until all survive.
Built on Unreal Engine 5, it delivers a horror sandbox with reactive environments, lifelike NPCs, and tense visuals that heighten the fear.
Malek Akkad of Compass International Pictures stated the game speaks to longtime Michael Myers fans, while IllFonic’s Jared Gerritzen emphasized the studio’s long-term effort to bring Halloween to players and mentioned a physical edition planned around the holiday.
Pricing is set at $39.99 for the Digital Standard Edition and $59.99 for the Digital Deluxe Edition, with language support spanning English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Russian, Korean, and Brazilian Portuguese. A launch trailer accompanies the release announcement.
