The Gamescom 2025 continues to deliver powerful announcements for horror fans. IllFonic and Gun Interactive have officially presented Halloween, a new title inspired by the iconic film franchise that will arrive on Xbox Series, PlayStation 5, and PC. The game will combine experiences, single-player and multiplayer, allowing players to live the story solo or join cooperative and competitive matches.

The proposal will put players in the shoes of different survivors… or directly in the shoes of the iconic Boogeyman, Michael Myers, who will be playable in online modes. IllFonic already has experience in this type of asymmetric approach thanks to games like Friday the 13th: The Game or Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed, which anticipates a design focused on tension and replayability.

Terror in single-player and multiplayer in Halloween

Although all the details have not been revealed, Halloween will bet on a single-player mode with a story, which will allow exploring the myth of Michael Myers from new perspectives, and an asymmetric multiplayer mode where players will have to survive, collaborate, or hunt in atmospheric scenarios.

The announcement comes in the midst of the celebration at the German fair, and represents another step for Gun Interactive in its strategy to bring classic horror sagas to the world of video games. With Halloween, both fans of the movies and lovers of survival multiplayer experiences will have a new must-see appointment on Xbox Series.
