Two new games based on the Halloween series were announced yesterday, and one of them, a pixel art platformer, has already been revealed.
Yesterday, Evil Dead: The Game developer Boss Team Games announced that it was working on two games based on the Halloween series, with one of them being developed in Unreal Engine 5, even netting the help of the original film’s director John Carpenter. While still shrouded in mystery, of the two that was the one with more details, except today the second game was revealed over at IGN, and it turns out it’s a 16-bit, ’90s era arcade platformer. Titled RetroRealms: Halloween, the game sees you playing as the infamous Michael Myers, where you go around slashing anyone you come across with the character’s trusty knife.
That isn’t the only game Boss Team Games announced either, as the RetroRealms branding is covering a second game, the other also being a 16-bit pixel art platformer, once again adapting Evil Dead. Ash Williams once again downs his chainsaw hand, fighting off the undead and more – it essentially looks like the same game, albeit with different settings and Michael Myers and Ash playing slightly differently. Also worth noting is that Shantae series developer WayForward is helping to develop this one, so it seems to be in good hands.
