Two HALLOWEEN video games in development by the team behind EVIL DEAD: THE GAME

The creative team that brought us Evil Dead: The GameBoss Team Games, is developing two video games based on John Carpenterthe classic slasher horror film of Halloween.

You’ll be happy to know that Carpenter is actually on board to help out with at least one of those games, which makes sense given that the director stopped making movies to play video games.

Carpenter, who is said to be “intimately involved” with the new titles, said in a statement: “As an avid gamer, I am thrilled to help bring Michael Myers to life in this game and hope to scare the crap out of you.”

The games are being developed in collaboration with the makers of the Halloween franchise, and one of them will be based on Unreal Engine 5.

IGN reports that the upcoming Halloween video 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.”

The two new games are being developed in collaboration with Compass International Pictures and Further Front.

Boss Team Games CEO Steve Harris said: “Everyone at Boss Team Games is a huge horror fan and Halloween obviously holds a special place in the hearts of all horror fans.

“Working with iconic characters like Michael Myers and continuing John Carpenter’s original vision is literally a dream come true.

“All of us at Boss Team are thrilled and honored to be working with Malek Akkad and John Carpenter to deliver a one-of-a-kind experience that fans of the film and video games will love.”

There are no release dates or platforms announced for either title yet, but I can’t wait to see how they evolve.
