John Carpenter and Boss Team Games Team Up for Two New Halloween Games
John Carpenter, the iconic director of the original Halloween film, is lending his expertise to two new video games based on the franchise, developed by Boss Team Games. This exciting news, revealed exclusively by IGN, promises to deliver a truly terrifying gaming experience.
Boss Team Games, known for their successful Evil Dead: The Game, is collaborating with Compass International Pictures and Further Front to bring these titles to life using Unreal Engine 5. The games, currently in early development, will let players relive classic moments and step into the shoes of beloved characters from the Halloween universe. Boss Team Games CEO, Steve Harris, described the opportunity to work with Carpenter and iconic characters like Michael Myers as a dream come true.
Carpenter, a self-described gaming enthusiast, expressed his excitement about the project, emphasizing his commitment to creating a truly frightening game. While specific details are scarce, the anticipation is palpable among fans.
A Sparse Gaming History, a Rich Cinematic Legacy
The Halloween franchise has a surprisingly limited history in the gaming world. The only official game, released in 1983 for the Atari 2600, is now a collector's item. Michael Myers has, however, appeared in various modern games as DLC, notably in Dead by Daylight, Call of Duty: Ghosts, and Fortnite.
The upcoming games' promise to allow players to embody classic characters strongly suggests the inclusion of both Michael Myers and Laurie Strode, a dynamic central to the franchise's enduring appeal.
The Halloween film series, a cornerstone of horror cinema, spans thirteen films:
- Halloween (1978)
- Halloween II (1981)
- Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982)
- Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988)
- Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers (1989)
- Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers (1995)
- Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (1998)
- Halloween: Resurrection (2002)
- Halloween (2007)
- Halloween (2018)
- Halloween Kills (2021)
- Halloween Ends (2022)
A Winning Combination of Horror Expertise and Gaming Passion
Boss Team Games' proven success with Evil Dead: The Game, developed alongside Saber Interactive, showcases their mastery of horror game development. This, combined with Carpenter's well-known passion for gaming (he's publicly praised titles like Dead Space, Fallout 76, and Assassin's Creed Valhalla), bodes well for the upcoming Halloween games.
The collaboration promises a unique and terrifying gaming experience for fans of the Halloween franchise and horror gamers alike. As development continues, further details are eagerly awaited.
