Halloween, the classic slasher film franchise that comprises 13 movies and centers around horror icon Michael Myers, can be making a return in the shape of two latest video games which are currently in development at game studio Boss Team Games, including one which is being created in Unreal Engine 5, based on a brand new report. John Carpenter, the filmmaker, composer, actor, and video game enthusiast who directed the unique 1978 film, is reportedly “intimately involved” with the projects, having told a publication that he’s a “huge gamer” and is hoping to “scare [players] silly.”
From a report:
- “…one among the games is being developed in Unreal Engine 5, and can include input from original director John Carpenter.”
- ” the games will allow players to ‘relive moments from the film and play as classic characterse from one of the vital iconic and essential horror movies of all time.’”
- “The 2 latest games are being developed in association with Compass International Pictures and Further Front, with the Unreal Engine 5 project still early in development.”
A note from Carpenter:
There is no such thing as a different version of HALLOWEEN where Michael dies. That is total bullshit!
