Halloween, the asymmetric stealth horror game with single and multiplayer modes from developer and publisher IllFonic, co-published by Gun Interactive, and created in partnership with Compass International Pictures and Further Front, reveals its first in-game map, “Haddonfield Heights,” at PC Gaming Show: Most Wanted today.
Nestled beneath the iconic Haddonfield water tower, the map brings players deep into the heart of the town, introducing a warm, tight-knit neighborhood that hides terror behind every picket fence and perfectly manicured lawn.
Featuring a cluster of charming homes, the game’s first map radiates small-town comfort by day, but becomes a maze of dread at night. With plenty of front yards and winding side streets, players can explore every neighborhood nook and cranny, daring the brave enough to face what’s lurking in the shadows.
In this chilling sandbox, players can take the role of either a desperate Civilian fighting to protect the townsfolk or the infamous Michael Myers himself. As a Civilian, scavenge for supplies, guide residents to safety, and locate a phone to call the police before the time runs out. As Myers, prowl the shadows and use eerie abilities, like Shape Jump, to traverse through the neighborhood unseen and strike without warning. Every decision is a life-or-death gamble in a relentless game of cat-and-mouse.
“This neighborhood allowed us to reimage the tension of Haddonfield in a way that feels both intimate and terrifying,” said Jordan Mathewson, Design Director at IllFonic. “We wanted players to feel the comfort of the neighborhood they recognize from the film right before we turn it into panic. Every hedge, hallway, and backyard was built to heighten suspense and reward clever play, whether you’re hunting or being hunted.”
The game, Halloween, will terrify Haddonfield on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store on Tuesday, Sept. 8, 2026.
