Halloween was revealed at the Future Games Show during Gamescom 2025.

IllFonic is developing Halloween and will handle publishing with Gun Media.

Unlike previous games from IllFonic (Killer Klowns From Outer Space: The Game, Friday the 13th: The Game, and Predator Hunting Grounds), Halloween will feature both single player and multiplayer options.

The upcoming game included the involvement of director John Carpenter and Compass International Pictures, which produced the original film.

The new game will release sometime in 2026 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, and PC.

Step into the chilling world of John Carpenter’s genre-defining film, now transformed into a suspenseful one-versus-many stealth horror experience. Put on the iconic mask to become the ultimate slasher, Michael Myers, stalking and executing the citizens of Haddonfield one by one, or striving to thwart Michael Myers’ plans as Civilians determined to save the unaware townsfolk before it’s too late. 

Stick to the shadows as Civilians, seeking out Haddonfield residents to warn them and searching for a way to contact the authorities. As Michael Myers, give them a reason to fear the dark and cut the phone lines to prevent the police from ruining his favorite holiday. Whether playing solo in story mode, against bots offline, or facing others in online multiplayer, each mode rewards stealth, strategy, and skillful play.

Staying true to the original film, IllFonic masterfully recreates the eerie atmosphere of Haddonfield across multiple maps and authentic locations. With a haunting ambience and score inspired by the legendary movie, Halloween brings the terror home in a new experience that will keep both old and new generations looking over their shoulders.
