John Carpenter's horror classic Halloween It practically invented the slasher genre when it was released in 1978. And now the horror master is returning to the series once again with the announcement of two new video games by Carptenter Halloween sherry.
Original Halloween It was released nearly 45 years ago and is still one of the most popular and influential horror films ever released. But strangely enough, its central killer, The Shape aka Michael Myers, has appeared in many video games, such as Fortnite And Dead by DaylightThe series hasn't had a video game adaptation in a long time. In fact, it was in 1983 Halloween On Atari 2600 was the first and last official game based on the slasher series. Now, decades later, not one, two new Halloween video game projects announced.
As first reported IGN On August 12thBoss Team Games is developing two separate video games based on the original from 1978 Halloween movie. We don't know much about what these games are or how they'll play, but both projects are being developed with input from the film series' creators. One of the games is being developed in Unreal Engine 5 and will feature direct input from Carpenter.
“As a great actor myself, I'm excited to help bring Michael Myers back to life in this game,” Carpenter said in a press release. “I hope I make you look foolish.” The director will reportedly be “closely involved” with the developers working on the game.
“Everyone at Boss Team Games are huge fans of the horror and thriller genre. Halloween “It clearly holds a special place in the hearts of horror game fans,” said Steve Harris, CEO of Boss Team Games.
“Working with iconic characters like Michael Myers and evolving John Carpenter's original vision is a dream come true. Everyone at Boss Team is excited and honored to work with Malek Akkad and John Carpenter to deliver a unique experience that fans of the movies and video games will love.”
Meanwhile, in other John Carpenter video game news, the director is said to be involved in the upcoming zombie co-op FPS Toxic Commandolooks cool but may be cursed to be compared forever Left 4 Dead. The game was announced last year Summer Game Festival And scheduled to be released later this yearbut I'm not sure about that.
