IllFonic and Gun Interactive have unveiled a new trailer for Halloween: The Game.

Live out the chilling story surrounding Michael Myers’ escape from Smith’s Grove Sanitarium and the terrifying events that followed. Embody pure evil as the true Boogeyman and commit the horrors leading to Halloween Night in 1978. Cinematic story cutscenes introduce chapters, characters, and story beats with iconic Halloween: The Game aesthetics and shot recreations, building a Haddonfield inspired by the original film. Yet the game goes beyond paying homage to the seminal movie, taking it in creative new directions to inject surprises and build upon Michael Myers’ monstrous, mythical intrigue.

Become the Shape across six haunting chapters, slashing through new and familiar locations while Dr. Sam Loomis narrates his findings and experiences. Uncover how Myers acquired his iconic jumpsuit, mask, and kitchen knife, and orchestrated the deaths of every unsuspecting victim leading up to the final babysitter encounter. The single-player storymode weaves a mix of the original 1978 film while introducing space for player creativity: play and end Michael Myers’ bloody tale while making it personal.

Halloween: The Game’s sandbox approach continues in the game’s story mode, providing a multitude of ways to find, stalk, and kill victims. The perfect Michael Myers carefully stalks his targets, waiting for the right moment to execute kills for true murderous satisfaction. Yet he can’t always play with his prey: sometimes keeping the cops at bay necessitates a victim’s quick death.

Each chapter contains a distinct set of secondary challenges and collectibles that reveal new executions, scenarios, and lore, unlocking exclusive cosmetics for Multiplayer mode. Several difficulty options test and reward players who want to understand what it takes to be a truly ruthless Michael Myers.

Halloween: The Game digital pre-orders start today. The Standard Edition is priced at $39.99 and the Deluxe Edition at $59.99.  The latter includes the game, an Exclusive Michael Myers Skin, two Exclusive Civilians and more!

Halloween: The Game will launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store on September 8.
