by

The game *Halloween: The Game* was recently showcased at the September 2025 PlayStation State of Play, revealing the iconic horror villain Michael Myers as the game’s star. While fans are excited to see this classic character in his own video game, a release date isn’t expected until after October 2025, despite the timing coinciding with the Halloween season and the franchise’s history.

The first *Halloween* movie, directed by John Carpenter, came out in 1978 and terrified viewers with its relentless killer, Michael Myers, who remains a horror icon. Since then, twelve more *Halloween* films have been made, including 2022’s *Halloween Ends*. Michael Myers has also become a frequent character in video games, appearing in titles like *Call of Duty* and *Fortnite*.

Developed by IllFonic, the game is a unique multiplayer experience where players either take on the role of the terrifying killer or try to survive as one of several civilians.
