Haddonfield becomes a horror playground
Developed by IllFonic, Halloween: The Game brings Michael Myers and the town of Haddonfield into an asymmetrical horror sandbox inspired by the original 1978 film.
The standalone campaign follows Michael's perspective. In multiplayer, four Civilians balance their own survival with warning residents, coordinating police support, and finding a route out of town.
What shapes each session
A campaign behind the mask
Six chapters follow Michael's story, with optional challenges and collectibles that encourage return visits.
Rescue-focused multiplayer
Civilians search, persuade, and escort residents while an opposing Michael player hunts across Haddonfield.
Customizable roles
Official material describes Michael abilities, Civilian stats, starting items, and Perk Decks; exact builds need version checks.
