Boss Team Games, the company behind Evil Dead: The Game released in 2022, has announced a collaboration with John Carpenter to create two new horror games inspired by Carpenter's Halloween series.

Carpenter, an avid gamer, is reportedly deeply engaged in the development process.

The project, in collaboration with Compass International Pictures and Future Front, will produce games based on the 1978 original film. At least one of these games is being developed using Unreal Engine 5.

This marks the first instance of a video game adaptation of the classic horror since the 1983 version for the Atari 2600.

John Carpenter expressed his enthusiasm, stating, "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," in a statement to IGN.

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