What is happening now

Halloween: The Game is an asymmetrical horror title launching across current-generation consoles and PC. The game places players in control of Michael Myers, tasking them with stalking and eliminating targets across a story mode that spans multiple chapters and includes collectible hunts. Coverage has centered on guides for navigating the game's mechanics and challenges. Players are learning the specifics of Michael's movement options, including a Shape Jump technique that increases mobility during matches, and how to leverage his Killer Sense ability to track and weaken victims. The game features environment-specific kills tied to story challenges - using implements like a broken pool cue, telephone wire, and motorcycle - alongside collectibles scattered throughout each chapter for completionists to track down.
