Two games based on Halloween film franchise announced by Boss Team Games

Evil Dead: The Game studio Boss Team Games is developing two games based on the Halloween horror film franchise, the developer announced.

Both games are being developed in conjunction with the producers of the Halloween franchise. One, which is still early in development, is being created in Unreal Engine 5 with input from the original film’s director, John Carpenter.

“As a huge gamer myself, I’m thrilled to help bring Michael Myers to life again in this game, and my hope is to scare you silly,” said Carpenter, who is “intimately involved” with the project.

According to the announcement, both 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.”

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

Further information was not announced.
