Halloween The Game Opens Pre-Orders With Standard Edition at $40
IllFonic has opened pre-orders for Halloween: The Game, an asymmetric horror sandbox title based on John Carpenter’s 1978 classic film. The game is now available for pre-order through retailer Target for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Players can choose between a standard edition priced at $39.99 (~¥272) and a Collector’s Edition at $149.99 (~¥1,020), which includes exclusive physical merchandise. The announcement marks a significant milestone for this highly anticipated horror multiplayer title.
Halloween: The Game stays true to the original film’s atmosphere and setting. Players can step into the iconic mask of Michael Myers, using shadows and stealth to hunt down unsuspecting residents across the town of Haddonfield. Alternatively, players can join the civilian side, utilizing everyday objects and survival instincts to escape the relentless killer and contact law enforcement. The game emphasizes tension and strategy on both sides of the conflict.
The title features a tense 1v4 multiplayer mode where one player controls Michael Myers while four others try to survive and escape. In a first for the franchise, the game also includes a dedicated single-player story mode that lets players experience the film’s narrative from the perspective of Michael Myers himself. This addition provides a fresh way to revisit the classic horror story while expanding the gameplay experience beyond multiplayer-only encounters.
The standard edition of Halloween: The Game is priced at $39.99 (~¥272), while the Collector’s Edition, which includes exclusive merchandise, is available for $149.99 (~¥1,020). The game is set to launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. With pre-orders now live, fans of the franchise have their first opportunity to secure a copy. For those looking for an immersive asymmetric horror experience rooted in cinema history, this one is worth keeping an eye on.
