“Death has come to your little town, Sheriff.”
Two new games based on the 1978 horror classic Halloween are in development at Boss Team Games, according to a report on IGN.
While details are in short supply at this time, both games are apparently being developed in conjunction with the producers of the Halloween franchise. What’s more, one of the games is being developed in Unreal Engine 5, and will include input from original director John Carpenter.
In a release sent to IGN, the games will allow players to “relive moments from the film and play as classic characters from one of the most iconic and important horror films of all time.”
“As a huge gamer myself, I’m thrilled to help bring Michael Myers to life again in this game,” said John Carpenter. “And my hope is to scare you silly.”
“Everyone at Boss Team Games are huge fans of horror and Halloween obviously holds a special place in the hearts of all horror fans,” said Boss Team Games CEO Steve Harris “Getting to work with iconic characters like Michael Myers and build on John Carpenter’s original vision is literally a dream come true. Everyone at Boss Team is thrilled and honored to be working with Malek Akkad and John Carpenter to deliver a one-of-a-kind experience that fans of the movie and video games will love.”
