According to an IGN reportthe two new games will be based on the 1978 slasher classic Halloween from director John Carpenter. Boss Team Games is reportedly working with the producers of the Halloween film franchise on the games.
There are no details on the official title or release timelines for the two games, but an official website, https://halloweengame.com/presents a sign-up form for interested players to receive updates on the titles. The website also lists Compass International Pictures, which owns the rights to the Halloween franchise, and Further Front publishing company, alongside Boss Team Games.
One of the two Halloween games will reportedly be built in Epic Games’ Unreal Engine 5 and will be made in collaboration with Carpenter. The visionary horror director will be “intimately involved” with the project, the report says.
“As a huge gamer, I’m thrilled to bring Michael Myers back to life in this game. I hope to scare the hell out of you,” Carpenter said in the report.
The two games would let players relive iconic moments from the film and play as popular characters. While the report did not say how far along the two games were in their development cycles, it did claim that the Unreal Engine 5 project was still in early development.
Boss Team Games, which largely works on video games based on existing franchises, published Evil Dead: The Game in 2022, an asymmetrical survival horror developed by Saber Interactive. Based on Sam Raimi’s popular Evil Dead franchise, the game was released on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series S/X. The studio also published Cobra Kai: Card Fighter, a mobile game that was released on Android and iOS in 2021.
