Publisher Boss Team has entered into an exciting partnership with renowned horror film director John Carpenter, known for his iconic contributions to the genre. This collaboration will see the release of two new titles inspired by Carpenter’s legendary Halloween franchise, as reported by IGN.
Reviving a Classic
These upcoming games will draw from the chilling atmosphere of the original 1978 Halloween film, marking a significant moment in gaming history as it has been over four decades since a game based on this franchise has been developed. One of the titles is set to leverage the advanced capabilities of Unreal Engine 5, promising a visually stunning and immersive experience.
Carpenter expressed his enthusiasm for the project, 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.” His passion for the medium is evident, and fans can anticipate a fresh yet authentic take on the beloved horror icon.
Steve Harris, the driving force behind Boss Team, echoed this sentiment, sharing, “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.” The excitement within the team is palpable, as they look forward to collaborating with both Carpenter and producer Malek Akkad to craft a unique experience that will resonate with both movie aficionados and gaming enthusiasts alike.
