John Carpenter, director of the iconic 1978 Halloween film, is lending his creative talents to two new video games based on the franchise, developed by Boss Team Games. This collaboration, exclusively revealed by IGN, promises a terrifying gaming experience for fans.
Two New Halloween Games in the Works
Boss Team Games, celebrated for their work on Evil Dead: The Game, is partnering with Compass International Pictures and Further Front to bring these new titles to life using Unreal Engine 5. Carpenter, a self-described gaming enthusiast, expressed excitement about the project, highlighting his commitment to crafting a truly frightening game. The games, currently in early development, will allow players to "relive moments from the film" and inhabit the roles of beloved franchise characters. Boss Team Games CEO Steve Harris called the opportunity to work with Carpenter and iconic characters like Michael Myers a "dream come true."
While specifics remain scarce, the announcement has ignited considerable excitement among fans.
A History of Halloween in Gaming
The Halloween franchise, a cornerstone of horror cinema, has a relatively sparse video game history. A 1983 Atari 2600 game, now a sought-after collector's item, marked the franchise's first foray into gaming. More recently, Michael Myers has appeared as DLC in titles like Dead by Daylight, Call of Duty: Ghosts, and Fortnite.
The upcoming games' promise of playable "classic characters" suggests both Michael Myers and Laurie Strode might be featured prominently, capitalizing on their decades-long, captivating conflict. The thirteen films in the Halloween franchise, spanning from 1978 to 2022, have solidified its place in horror history.
A Team of Horror Experts
Boss Team Games' success with Evil Dead: The Game, praised for its faithful adaptation, showcases their expertise in the horror genre. Carpenter's passion for video games, evident in past interviews where he's discussed his enjoyment of titles like Dead Space, Fallout 76, and Assassin's Creed Valhalla, further fuels anticipation for these new Halloween games. His involvement, coupled with Boss Team Games' proven track record, suggests a high-quality, immersive horror experience awaits players. The collaboration promises a chilling and authentic addition to the Halloween legacy.
