Boss Team Games and WayForward Technologies, in association with Compass International Pictures, Forward Front, Lionsgate and STARZ, are excited to announce that the first two games in the new RETROREALMS[TM] horror series are available today on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Steam.
The two RETROREALMS games are available now and deliver a 16-bit-style platformer experience based on the 1978 film Halloween and the STARZ television series Ash vs Evil Dead. Players take control of Michael Myers to slash through familiar settings and overcome the ultimate evil that has descended upon our world. Ash vs Evil Dead fans can play as Ash Williams to battle through iconic locations inspired by the STARZ original series while fighting Deadites and other familiar characters from the hit show.
“Everyone at Boss Team Games is incredibly excited for players to get their hands on RetroRealms,” says Daniel Nixon, Director of Marketing at Boss Team Games. “We’ve had so much fun working with Wayforward and the teams at Compass, Forward Front, STARZ, and Lionsgate. It’s been an honor for all of us in bringing Ash Williams and Michael Myers, iconic horror characters, and their worlds into RetroRealms.”
Developed by WayForward Technologies, the RETROREALMS games let players traverse worlds and enter different realms to overcome challenges inspired by Halloween and Ash vs Evil Dead. Combining retro visuals with modern mechanics, players venture between two overlapping worlds, with the ability to enter the nightmare infested Dark Realm at any time, which unlocks shortcuts, hidden pathways, and rewards for those brave enough to enter.
“WayForward always makes an effort to work with the best IPs around, and I couldn’t imagine a better duo than Halloween and Ash vs. Evil Dead, two of the best horror films and TV series ever created,” says Adam Tierney, Director of BizDev & Publishing at WayForward. “We hope fans have as much fun playing through the bloody crossover adventures of Michael Myers and Ash Williams as we did making them.”
The two RETROREALMS titles, each sold separately for $24.99 or as a bundle for $49.99, connect with each other to create an ever-expanding universe of popular characters that unlocks additional gameplay. The games can be played individually or, if both titles are purchased, new features can be accessed including taking characters from one game into the other. Players can also commemorate their achievements within the RetroRealms Arcade, a lovingly realized 3D gateway and tribute to arcade gaming that connects both RETROREALMS titles, providing a single way to access every game in the series and to redeem in-game tickets, view leaderboards, and find other exclusive content.
RETROREALMS is also available in the RETROREALMS DOUBLE FEATURE Launch Day bundle, allowing players to purchase both RETROREALMS titles, Ash vs Evil Dead and Halloween, as well as RETROREALMS DLC Kelly Maxwell and Laurie Strode, for $49.99 on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and Steam.
