Halloween: The Game Wiki

Standard contains the game; Digital Deluxe adds Richard and Alexis, the Inmate Michael skin, a comic, and other named extras, with advance access during the pre-launch window.

Digital Deluxe advance access began September 4, 2026 at 9 AM Pacific; the full release is September 8 at 9 AM Pacific, four days later.

Steam lists Windows 11, DirectX 12, 16 GB minimum RAM, and 45 GB on SSD/NVMe storage; the recommended memory target is 32 GB.

Find and persuade residents, identify an escape that matches the items discovered, and coordinate before activating it; noise and careless escorts can expose the group.

Choose for the task your group needs: movement, persuasion, technical work, or fighting. Early independent guidance favors Marcus and Tanya, but it is not a settled launch meta.

Matches award Perk Points for card rolls and temporary upgrades; build a civilian deck around useful effects and check how long an upgrade lasts before spending.

IllFonic says Michael can be detained and returned to Smith's Grove through coordinated resistance; it does not describe this as simply killing him in a normal duel.

Shape Jump is Michael's concealed traversal tool; entry and exit depend on darkness or breaking resident sightlines, so plan a hidden destination before activating it.

Killer Sense shifts Michael into a stalking perspective; focus on a target to build Stalk, then use the resulting tracking and execution opportunities deliberately.

Four multiplayer maps are announced for launch: East Haddonfield, Haddonfield Heights, Orange Grove Estates, and Haddonfield Town Center.

Progression has Profile, Killer, Civilian, and Weapon tracks, plus passive and sequential challenges; check the relevant track before assuming all XP unlocks the same reward.

The standalone story follows Michael's return to Haddonfield; IllFonic describes six playable chapters, optional challenges, collectibles, and multiple endings.
