Announced earlier in the year, Halloween is the latest horror franchise to get its own game, and now we know when it's due out. However, the date might give you a scare.
Developer IllFonic has announced it's coming to PS5 on 8th September 2026 in this new gameplay trailer:
The game features both single player and multiplayer modes, in which you can play as Michael Myers himself or a range of civilians aiming to stop his killing spree.
It looks like it shares a lot of elements with other asymmetric horror games, such as Friday the 13th: The Game. Still, it's cool to see the town of Haddonfield, which looks pretty fleshed out in the game.

This, without a shadow of a doubt was the most pointless announcement of the whole SoP, basically Friday: the 13th 2.0, really don't think anyone asked for this...
At this stage in development, this really looks like one of those "I made (insert pop culture of choice) in Unreal Engine" videos. Which is understandable, considering it's still a year out, but why show it now!?
Another asymmetrical Dead by Daylight clone. Yawn.
While you wait there's this Halloween/Evil dead 2D sidescroller that came out a while ago.
It be out in a year and after that year it be deleted due to low player base
You know what we need? More asymmetrical multiplayer games based on horror IP that will inevitably shut down within a couple of years.
IIRC Friday 13th game died because they could no longer support or sell the game due to IP issues. (New Line were getting sued by the screenplay writer of the first movie.)
That said, I agree with sentiments in other comments, too many 1v5 games getting pumped out that die too quickly. It was only last year Illfonic released Killer Klowns...
