Since our Early Access launch, our team has been working hard to quickly address reported bugs, improve performance, evaluate game feedback, and refine the overall experience for players. We’ve already implemented various server-side adjustments, one hotfix, and our Day One Patch. With the release of 1.0.2, we are excited to deliver our second hotfix. Today’s update tackles a wide range of issues affecting game performance and stability, player interactions, challenges, achievements, and Prestige, alongside numerous bug fixes and carefully considered balance adjustments. Thanks so much to ever

Halloween: The Game официально вышла, а вместе с релизом разработчики из IllFonic выпустили патч 1.0.1. Обновление исправляет проблемы раннего доступа, улучшает поведение NPC и вносит заметные изменения в баланс противостояния Майкла Майерса и гражданских. Одним из главных исправлений стала кроссплатформенная игра. Теперь участники одной группы должны корректно переходить вместе с лидером в лобби, сформированное системой подбора, вместо возвращения в главное меню или исключения из группы. Разработчики также переработали маршрутизацию NPC. Полицейские теперь реже застревают в объектах окружения

If you've seen any slasher flick, you know the drill: every youth is horny, and the horny must die. Despite Halloween not being quite as trope-riddled as some of its stabbiest contemporaries, its recent asymmetrical PvP adaptation did include a minigame where two players could slip into a closet and bang each other for buffs—but after only a few days in a deluxe edition-exclusive early access, the feature has reportedly been removed...

The launch of Early Access for Halloween: The Game has been amazing so far and the team is so excited to finally be able to play the game with you all.

Halloween: The Game is the next multiplayer horror game from Illfonic, the studio behind Friday the 13th and Predator Hunting Grounds. Like Friday the 13th it's an asymmetrical affair: one player takes the form of psychotic masked serial killer Michael Myers, while everyone else plays the hapless survivors. It's set to release on September 9, but when it does, players based in Australia won't be able to buy it... Read more.

symmetrical PvP is all the rage these days, especially among licensed horror games for some reason—a new 3v1 Saw game just got revealed yesterday—but what if I want to pick up my knife and carve up some innocent people without the social pressures of online competition?.. Read more.

Developer Illfonic last month announced a game based on 1978 horror classic Halloween, and now we've got a look at it. The game looks a lot like the studio's own (excellent) Friday the 13th adaptation and is set in the small town of Haddonfield, recreated with real period style. It's primarily an asymmetrical multiplayer horror game, where the masked killer Michael Myers hunts down four residents, though this time around there will also be a singleplayer component recreating scenes from the film...

Seven years after IllFonic and Gun Media had to say farewell to their hit multiplayer survival horror game Friday the 13th, they're back—except this time, it's Halloween. Announced at today's Future Game Show, Halloween is a "one-versus-many stealth horror experience" in which players don the creepy mask of Michael Myers to hunt down the citizens of Haddonfield, or work together as his potential victims in a desperate effort to stop him...
