Michael Myers Is Getting His Own Video Game
This might surprise some fans: We're getting a new Halloween Video Game, and the king of horror John Carpenter is behind it! The video game has been 30 years in the making! Get ready for some major frights!
When Can I Get My Hands On It?
The Halloween game has not been released yet! It’s not ready to be played just yet. Nobody knows what the release date will be, since it is just now starting up production!
How Do I Play as Michael Myers?
- If you are a fan of Michael Myers video games, this is gonna be so cool because you are going to be able to play as The Shape. Or you might get to be one of those classic Halloween characters, even.
- John Carpenter himself is on board as a producer, and he has worked with Boss Team Games, who created Evil Dead: The Game. So you've got a great team creating a Halloween game. This makes the whole thing super exciting and terrifying!
How Does This "First" Game Stack Up?
- This new Halloween video game, made by Boss Team Games, is super important. It’s the first time that there has been a game, except for that 1983 Atari 2600 Halloween video game!
Since that really old Atari 2600 version, it's been a long wait for another Michael Myers video game. It makes a lot of sense. He was only a guest character in a few other games, like Dead by Daylight, and those are a bunch of other, already-made video games!
What's The Buzz on Gameplay?
- It’s super exciting, since this new Halloween video game is being built using Unreal Engine 5, so it’s going to be an awesome experience!
Nobody has dropped clues on exactly what kind of game it is going to be. But the team is famous for doing those awesome asymmetric multiplayer games. Imagine you have to survive against Michael Myers! That sounds so amazing! The makers might even give us a survival horror game like the one that came out in 2014 called Alien: Isolation! Or who knows - they might even give us an asymmetrical multiplayer game like Dead by Daylight - the killer vs survivors! That would be pretty incredible. You can also see Michael Myers hanging around in other popular games, too - think of Terrordrome: Rise of the Boogeymen or Call of Duty: Ghosts.
With the amazing Halloween franchise coming to a new medium, you know things are getting more frightening. Keep your eyes peeled for the release date, because this new Halloween video game is about to shake things up. It might be awhile until you can download the new Halloween video game! It's going to be an incredible Gaming experience.
