After starting out in denial, I'm finally emerging from the fourth stage of grief over Friday the 13th: The Game's untimely shutdown and entering a phase of acceptance, and it's entirely thanks to Halloween: The Game re-emerging as basically the same game but with Michael Myers from John Carpenter's Halloween. At least, that seems to be the case judging from IllFonic's new gameplay trailer.
I'll admit, I almost – almost – forgot Halloween: The Game existed before this week's gameplay trailer and release date reveal. Can you blame me? Between Texas Chain Saw Massacre: The Game, Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game, the now-defunct Evil Dead: The Game, and my dearly departed Friday the 13th: The Game, there's a whole lot of "The Games" bouncing around, and they're all seemingly aimed at the cult following trailing Jason Voorhees' spin on the Dead by Daylight formula from 2017.
