Developed by IllFonic and inspired by the classic 1978 movie, Halloween is coming to PC and consoles on September 8th next year. Revealed during PlayStation’s State of play at this years Tokyo Game Show, it has been announced as an asymmetric stealth horror game with both single and multiplayer modes. So, what do we know so far?
The trailer above was shown during the PlayStation State of Play show at the Tokyo Game Show 2025 so that fans could get their first look at what the title has in store. The team over at IllFonic and Gun Interactive have described the game as follows: “Death comes to Haddonfield in Halloween, a chilling tribute to the iconic John Carpenter’s classic film. Survive or slay across the tense streets and dark corners of Haddonfield in this asymmetrical horror sandbox, taking on the role of either a desperate Civilian or the infamous Michael Myers himself. In each high-stakes cat-and-mouse match, every decision means life or death.
As a Civilian, protect the townsfolk by guiding them to safety, scavenging for weapons and supplies, and finding a phone to call the police before it’s too late. Danger lurks around every corner, and survival depends on strategy, teamwork, and quick thinking. Meanwhile, Michael Myers stalks the shadows, using terrifying abilities like Shape Jump to move unseen across the map and strike without warning in a heart-pounding experience.” Sounds like fans of the legendary film have a lot to look forward to next year.
Halloween is preparing to scare on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, and on Xbox Series X|S and Playstation 5 on September 8th, 2026.
