by

Boss Team Games, the publisher behind 2022's Evil Dead: The Game, has teamed up with John Carpenter to create two new horror games based on Carpenter's horror series, Halloween.

Carpenter, who claims to be a “big player,” is said to be “intimately involved” with the productions.

In partnership with Compass International Pictures and Future Front, both games will be based on the original 1978 film, and at least one is being developed in Unreal Engine 5.

It will be the first time that the seminal horror game has been adapted into a video game since the Atari 2600 version back in 1983.

“As a huge gamer myself, I'm thrilled to help bring Michael Myers back to life in this game, and my hope is to scare the hell out of you,” Carpenter said in a statement to IGN.

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

“Working with iconic characters like Michael Myers and building on John Carpenter's original vision is literally a dream come true. Everyone at Boss Team is excited and honored to be working with Malek Akkad and John Carpenter to deliver a unique experience that fans of the film and video games will love.”
