Developer Illfonic is creating a new game inspired by the 1978 horror film Halloween, set in the small town of Haddonfield. The game features asymmetrical multiplayer gameplay where four residents must evade the killer, Michael Myers. Survivors can alert neighbors, contact the police, or guide others to escape points, while Myers is invincible but can be detained by the police. The game will also include single-player vignettes that allow players to experience key moments from the film from Michael Myers' perspective. The game is set to be released on September 8, 2026. Concerns have been raised about the long hype cycle and the game's potential longevity due to past issues with Illfonic's Friday the 13th game.
