Get ready for a double dose of terror! Two new video games based on the iconic slasher franchise, ‘Halloween’, are currently in development. The exciting news comes from Boss Team Games, the studio behind the critically acclaimed ‘Evil Dead: The Game’, and promises a chilling experience for fans of the franchise.
Adding to the excitement, legendary director John Carpenter, who directed the original ‘Halloween’ film, is actively involved in the projects. “As a huge gamer myself, I’m thrilled to help bring Michael Myers to life again in this game, and my hope is to scare you silly,” Carpenter shared in a statement.
While details are still under wraps, IGN reports suggest that Boss Team Games will focus on online multiplayer experiences and cooperative gameplay. The press release confirms that one of the games will be based on the original 1978 film, allowing players to relive classic moments and embody beloved characters from the horror masterpiece.
Another exciting addition to the team is original ‘Halloween’ producer Malek Akkad, who will be involved in the development of both games. The games are being built with Unreal Engine 5, the same engine that powered ‘Evil Dead: The Game’, suggesting a high level of visual fidelity and gameplay.
Boss Team Games CEO Steve Harris expressed his enthusiasm for the projects, stating, “We are honored to be working with John Carpenter and Malek Akkad to bring the terrifying world of Halloween to life in video game form.”
