‘Halloween: The Game’ Reveals Orange Grove Estates Map, Physical Pre-Orders
Michael Myers is coming to your home to stalk your consoles this year in the upcoming Halloween: The Game, and developers have just unveiled another map, the Orange Grove Estates neighborhood, featuring some recognizable houses from John Carpenter’s original film. Read on for full details.
From the official site: “Orange Grove Estates is an upscale neighborhood in one of Haddonfield’s affluent corners. Multi-story houses surround a playground and basketball court, and expansive yards turn every fence and hedge into a fresh hiding (or hunting) ground. The map’s open layout reshapes how players move between structures, opening up new opportunities for collaboration while widening the lines of sight that can give a hero (or The Shape) away. The larger, multi-story homes also introduce precarious upper-floor encounters that every player will need to account for.”
“Every neighborhood in Halloween: The Game is designed to change how you play, and Orange Grove Estates is our most ambitious map yet,” said Jared Gerritzen, Chief Creative Officer, IllFonic. “The open layout and multi-story homes force players to rethink their every action as it could compromise their line of sight, collaboration, and escape, whether they are playing as a Civilian or Myers. Players will learn to dip, dodge, and scan surroundings for options to find an escape route. Pairing this map’s reveal with our physical editions felt like the perfect way to celebrate the physical pre-order launch.”
Pre-orders are up for the physical game on PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series, which will now arrive on October 6, while the digital version arrives September 8.
Teaming up with Nighthawk Interactive, there will be two editions for the physical edition: the Standard Edition will be available for MSRP $39.99, while the Limited Collector’s Edition will be available for MSRP $149.99.
The Standard Edition of Halloween: The Game will include a copy of the game for PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X, an exclusive poster, and advance access to the Michael Myers Clown skin and two civilian cosmetics.
The Limited Collector’s Edition will include a copy of the game, plus an exclusive Trick or Treat Studios Shape Jump variant action figure, exclusive lenticular art, an exclusive poster, advance access to the Michael Myers Samhain and Clown skins, advance access to the two civilian cosmetics from the Standard edition and two additional civilian cosmetics, and more surprises to be revealed at a later date.
Players can also 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.

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.
