A new trailer for Halloween: The Game premiered today at the Future Games Show, and it’s terrifying.
The new trailer focuses on the game’s single-player mode, in which players take on the role of Michael Myers as they set out to terrorize the people of Haddonfield.
The game’s campaign invites players to live out the story of how Michael Myers escaped from the Smith’s Grove Sanitarium and the brutality that followed.
“Unlike the film’s protagonists, who desperately attempt to survive an encounter with The Shape, Halloween: The Game encourages players to embody pure evil and commit the horrors that occurred on Halloween Night in 1978 firsthand,” reads a line from the game’s description.
Check out the trailer below.
The game’s story plays out through six chapters, one of which tells the story of how Myers came to acquire his now-iconic outfit and his kitchen knife. You can get a glimpse of this in the new trailer.
Halloween: The Game also has a multiplayer mode in which one player takes on the role of Myers and the other four are trying to survive.
Additionally, developer Illfonic announced that digital preorders for Halloween: The Game are available starting today, June 6. The standard edition is $40 and the deluxe edition is $60. The deluxe edition includes the Phantom Michael Myers skin and four-day early access to the game, starting on September 4.
The game unlocks for everyone else on September 8. Halloween: The Game is coming to PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
