The stretch for more horror titles is certainly welcomed. Although the ongoing Dead by Daylight does satisfy many, fans are hoping for properly licensed, single-player installments based on their favorite franchises. One is the upcoming Pinhead title. Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival features the titular creator alongside Saber Interactive for a linear story.
Additionally, Jason Universe also confirmed that it is moving forward with a new title. For years, fans have been eager to return to Crystal Lake and finally things are in motion for that to officially materialize. And, it was also revealed not too long ago that Halloween: The Game from Illfonic is on the way with both a story mode as well as its own isometric online mode also.
At the Wednesday PlayStation State of Play, Illfonic revealed that Halloween: The Game is to release ahead of the season – in 2026. You can watch the new trailer in the video below:
“From its earliest iterations, Halloween has been crafted to deliver an immersive horror sandbox experience that can be enjoyed through a standalone singleplayer story or dynamic asymmetrical multiplayer matches. We wanted to empower players to create their very own horror movie moments, whether they’re stepping behind the mask of Michael Myers or taking the role of one of the heroic residents of Haddonfield,” social media manager Miles Dompier writes.
“When players dive into Halloween for the first time, we want Haddonfield to feel like a living, breathing game world. Our team aims to elevate the unpredictability and tension of each match through a series of dynamic map features, believable NPCs, robust gameplay options, haunting visuals, striking audio, and much more. We’ve developed several asymmetrical multiplayer horror titles and fully understand the desires and expectations of our players, and have been hard at work constructing something genuinely worthy of the IP with Halloween.
“We’re also thrilled to offer a standalone single-player component to this package that allows players to witness key narrative events of ‘The Night He Came Home’ through the eyes of Michael Myers. It’s an amazing moment to present gameplay to the public for the first time, and we appreciate you all sharing it with us! While we’ve given players some pieces to chew on, it’s only a taste of what we believe is shaping up to be a truly special and murderous sandbox horror experience, and we’re looking forward to sharing more in the coming months.”
