‘Halloween: The Game’ Single Player Gameplay Footage Revealed
Michael Myers is coming to your home to stalk your consoles this year in the upcoming Halloween: The Game, and developers have just released a new video, revealing our first look at singleplayer gameplay footage. Read on for new details.
From the official site: For the first time ever, fans can live out the chilling story surrounding Michael Myers’ escape from Smith’s Grove Sanitarium and the terrifying events that followed from the slasher’s cold, calculated perspective. Unlike the film’s protagonists, who desperately attempt to survive an encounter with The Shape, Halloween: The Game encourages players to embody pure evil and commit the horrors that occurred on Halloween Night in 1978 firsthand.
Embrace the darkness and guide Michael Myers across six gripping chapters, featuring new and familiar locations, while the unyielding Dr. Samuel J. Loomis narrates his grisly findings and the tragedy left in Michael’s wake. Witness how Myers acquired his legendary outfit and the instruments of his bloodshed; the jumpsuit, the pale mask, and kitchen knife. Orchestrate the deaths of every unsuspecting victim while carving your own gruesome path toward the final babysitter encounter with Laurie Strode. Stunning cinematic story cutscenes introduce these chapters, characters, and story beats with signature Halloween aesthetics and shot recreations, building a Haddonfield true to the original film.
To encourage further replayability, each chapter contains a distinct set of secondary challenges and in-game collectibles that reveal additional lore, new executions, gameplay scenarios, and even unlock exclusive multiplayer cosmetics for Michael Myers and the Heroes of Haddonfield. Players aiming to become the ultimate Boogeyman will need to tackle several difficulty options designed to test their skills and reward those who truly have what it takes to represent the ruthless Michael Myers.
Also, as of today, players can pre-order the Standard Edition or Deluxe Edition to secure the digital pre-order exclusive Phantom Michael Myers skin. The Deluxe Edition also includes 2 additional exclusive playable Civilian characters – one voiced by Ice Nine Kills’ Spencer Charnas and other by Halloween 2007 star Kristina Klebe! – the exclusive Inmate Michael Myers skin, early access to Halloween: The Game starting on September 4.
Pre-order on PlayStation 5 here. Pre-order on Xbox Series X|S here.
In Halloween: The Game, players will be able to become The Shape in the game, with a unique stalking “Shape Jump” ability that allows Michael Myers to vanish and reappear, as he does in the movies.
In the highly anticipated video game, Michael Myers will once again be played by the original Shape actor Nick Castle, as well as actor and stuntman T.J. Storm, working together performing the motion capture to bring The Shape to life.
With Malek Akkad producing and John Carpenter as executive producer, Halloween will be published by IllFonic, co-published by Gun Interactive, in partnership with Compass International Pictures and Further Front, coming to Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam and Epic Game Store.
Halloween: The Game will be released on September 8.
