Halloween, the legendary slasher movie franchise, is getting not one but two video game adaptations. As reported by IGN, Evil Dead: The Game developer Boss Team Games is on development duties for both projects.

According to the report, both games are being worked on alongside the producers of the films. One of the titles will be made in Unreal Engine 5, and has the original movie's director John Carpenter "intimately involved" in its development. "As a huge gamer myself, Iā€™m thrilled to help bring Michael Myers to life again in this game, and my hope is to scare you silly," he says. This UE5 game is still in early development.

Both titles will apparently let players "relive moments from the film and play as classic characters from one of the most iconic and important horror films of all time".

Boss Team Games CEO Steve Harris describes this collaboration as a "dream come true" for the studio, with everyone on the team "huge fans of horror". He adds that the 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.ā€
