It’s not really a slasher movie without teens drinking booze, getting high, and having sex, and you’ll be able to do at least two of those things in the upcoming Halloween video game.
We learned last week that you’ll be able to get high like Laurie and Annie did in John Carpenter’s original slasher classic, and now we’ve learned that you can drink beer too!
Illfonic gave horror fans their first opportunity to play Halloween: The Game at Pax East over the weekend, and Slash ‘N Cast brings us the first word about this boozy feature.
Slash ‘N Cast explains how it works: “Drinking beer in Halloween lowers your fear in-game, but it distorts your screen temporarily, making it difficult to move around.”
But you’ll probably want to stay sharp while you’re trying to survive your harrowing night in Haddonfield. Michael Myers will be on top of his game. And you’ll need to be too…
The developers preview, “While Michael swiftly endeavors to turn Haddonfield into a graveyard, our heroic group of Civilian characters desperately attempts to save their neighbors and escape the Boogeyman’s bloodthirst. As a Civilian, it’s up to you to find fellow Haddonfield residents, convince them of his malicious intent, and guide them safely to one of several possible randomized escapes located around the map before they meet an untimely end.”
“To ensure no two matches of Halloween play out the same, our team has constructed a vast playground of possibilities in Haddonfield, offering Civilians a multitude of diverse gameplay systems to aid them in achieving their objectives and surviving the night,” they continue. “As Civilians navigate these environments, they will uncover points of interest revealing resident NPCs, lootable containers, hiding places, telephones, possible escape routes, and more.
“Thoroughly and cautiously exploring your surroundings could very well mean the difference between life and death.”
Halloween: The Game will be released on September 8, 2026.
The upcoming game will invite Halloween fans to step into the chilling world of John Carpenter’s genre-defining film, now transformed into a suspenseful one-versus-many stealth horror experience. Put on the iconic mask to become the ultimate slasher, Michael Myers, stalking and executing the citizens of Haddonfield one by one, or striving to thwart Michael Myers’ plans as Civilians determined to save the unaware townsfolk before it’s too late.
Halloween: The Game will unleash Michael Myers onto Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. Here’s everything you need to know.
