True to the original 1978 film, Halloween: The Game is an asymmetric stealth horror game where you embark on a horrifying night as Michael Myers, stalking and killing the citizens of Haddonfield one-by-one – or try to disrupt his plans as one of the locals.

True to the original 1978 film, embark on a horrifying night as Michael Myers, stalking and killing the citizens of Haddonfield one-by-one – or try to disrupt his plans as one of the locals.

Step into the chilling world of John Carpenter’s genre-defining film, now transformed into a suspenseful one-versus-many stealth horror experience. Put on the iconic mask to become the ultimate slasher, Michael Myers, stalking and executing the citizens of Haddonfield one by one, or striving to thwart Michael Myers’ plans as Civilians determined to save the unaware townsfolk before it’s too late. 

Stick to the shadows as Civilians, seeking out Haddonfield residents to warn them and searching for a way to contact the authorities. As Michael Myers, give them a reason to fear the dark and cut the phone lines to prevent the police from ruining his favorite holiday. Whether playing solo in story mode, against bots offline, or facing others in online multiplayer, each mode rewards stealth, strategy, and skillful play.

Staying true to the original film, IllFonic masterfully recreates the eerie atmosphere of Haddonfield across multiple maps and authentic locations. With a haunting ambience and score inspired by the legendary movie, Halloween brings the terror home in a new experience that will keep both old and new generations looking over their shoulders.

Explore the masterfully recreated locations and ambiance from Halloween, but more importantly: survive.


Today’s map reveal shows off a new, haunting location: Orange Grove Estates, an upscale neighborhood in one of Haddonfield’s affluent corners.

Multi-story houses surround a playground and basketball court, and expansive yards turn every fence and hedge into a fresh hiding (or hunting) ground. The map’s open layout reshapes how players move between structures, opening up new opportunities for collaboration while widening the lines of sight that can give a hero (or The Shape) away. The larger, multi-story homes also introduce precarious upper-floor encounters that every player will need to account for.

Malek Akkad, President of Compass International Pictures, Inc., shares, “We are excited for fans of the original film to see the iconic Wallace and Doyle houses in this new map. Gamers will get to explore the legendary homes and create their own survival tactics. Will they weave through picturesque yards, bushes, and playground equipment as they fight to outsmart the Boogeyman or will they become the Boogeyman.”

“Every neighborhood in Halloween: The Game is designed to change how you play, and Orange Grove Estates is our most ambitious map yet,” said Jared Gerritzen, Chief Creative Officer, IllFonic. “The open layout and multi-story homes force players to rethink their every action as it could compromise their line of sight, collaboration, and escape, whether they are playing as a Civilian or Myers.  Players will learn to dip, dodge, and scan surroundings for options to find an escape route. Pairing this map’s reveal with our physical editions felt like the perfect way to celebrate the physical pre-order launch.”

 The physical editions for Halloween: The Game have been revealed for PS5 and Xbox Series X, launching on Oct. 6, 2026 for $39.99 (Standard Edition) and $149.99 (Limited Collector’s Edition)

In partnership with Nighthawk Interactive physical pre-orders begin today. The Halloween: The Game Standard Edition will include a copy of the game for PS5 or Xbox Series X, an exclusive poster, and advance access to the Michael Myers Clown skin and two civilian cosmetics.

The Limited Collector’s Edition will include a copy of the game, plus an exclusive Trick or Treat Studios Shape Jump variant action figure, exclusive lenticular art, an exclusive poster, advance access to the Michael Myers Samhain and Clown skins, advance access to the two civilian cosmetics from the Standard edition and two additional civilian cosmetics, and more surprises to be revealed at a later date.
