40 years later, two new Halloween games are in the works from the Evil Dead: The Game studio, and series' creator John Carpenter is "intimately involved" with one

Dead by Daylight.

Two new games based on John Carpenter's Halloween franchise are in the works, and the iconic horror director himself is involved in at least one of them.

Per IGN, the two as-yet untitled Halloween games are both in development at Boss Team Games, the publisher behind one of my favorite asymmetrical horror games, the ill-fated Evil Dead: The Game. Boss Team announced that it had ceased development on Evil Dead: The Game and canceled the Switch version altogether despite largely positive reception in September 2023, and now we know what it's up to next.
