A while back, maybe like 2 or 3 months ago, I heard that there was a Halloween video game in development with John Carpenter ‘intimately involved’, called “Halloween: The Game”. This is gonna be an Unreal Engine 5 game published by Boss Team Games, the people who published the Evil Dead game and the RetroRealms games, those being “RetroRealms: Halloween” and “RetroRealms: Ash vs. Evil Dead”. There still has not been any news regarding this game ever since it was announced last August. And I am anxiously waiting for any updates or news about it. This is a release that I am very excited about and I am praying that they don’t screw this game up like Gun Media has screwed up their numerous licensed game releases.

The only things we’ve heard of this game so far is that it is an Unreal Engine 5 game published by Boss Team Games and is going to let fans relive classic and iconic moments from the films, and play as some of the most influential characters throughout the franchise’s history - from that clue, Lauri Strode is gonna be playable, as well as Michael Myers aka The Shape himself. From the looks of it, because there will be multiple playable characters, it looks like this might be another one of those asymetrical horror games similar to Dead by Daylight (in which there’s a Halloween DLC for), like Friday the 13th, Killer Klowns from Outer Space, and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, which I am hoping it isn’t, because Gun Media recently destroyed the TCSM game. The game is allegedly receiving direct input from original director John Carpenter, who is ‘intimately involved’ with the project.

It was officially announced in August, where the Twitter account was created, along with an official website where you can sign up to the website newsletter to receive updates about the game whenever they become available. It’s been almost a whole year now since the game was officially announced by IGN in an article published on their website, and there has still not been any updates about the game since then, with IGN stating there was 2 Halloween games in development, one of them of course being the RetroRealms game and the other the Unreal Engine 5 game, the one I am focused on. The game is allegedly still in development, and I don’t know when we will get new news or information about it. Do you guys have any idea on when we will get any updates about this UE5 Halloween game? I’m hoping it is sooner rather than later, but I also understand that video game development takes a very long time.

I am praying that it is a single-player Halloween game. Praying.
