Halloween, developed and published by IllFonic and co-published by Gun Interactive in partnership with Compass International Pictures and Further Front, will be released for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S in 2026. This was announced at Future Game Show Live from gamescom.
IllFonic honours the iconic 1978 film with this asymmetric stealth horror game. Whether playing solo in story mode, against bots offline or facing others in online multiplayer, each mode rewards stealth, strategy and skillful play. One player puts on the iconic mask to become the ultimate slasher, while the other players, the Civilians, must save the unawa- re before it's too late. The game stays true to the original film by recreating the eerie atmosphere of Haddonfield across multiple maps.
"Working with Compass International Pictures and Further Front has been a dream," said Charles Brungardt, CEO and Co-Founder of IllFonic. "As rights holders of the film and producers on the game, they've shared incredible insights to help us stay true to the soul of the 1978 film. Their tremendous passion for Michael Myers has pushed us to craft something that fans of the franchise will truly appreciate."
"We are very excited to have partnered up with the great team at IllFonic to finally bring the definitive digital version of Halloween and Michael Myers to video game fans everywhere," said Malek Akkad, President of Compass International Pictures, Inc.
"Gun Interactive is proud of our friends at IllFonic on their newest project Halloween. As longtime peers within the world of horror, we are excited to lend a hand to their team as needed to see their vision come to light. Seeing them pour all their efforts into honoring an IP near and dear to so many horror fans, we're happy to help ensure players get to experience the world of Halloween that they've built. We can't wait to see folks in Haddonfield," Gun Interactive shared.
