《萬聖節遊戲》（Halloween）是由IllFonic 開發、IllFonic Publishing與Gun Media共同發行的非對稱恐怖生存遊戲，預定於2026年9月9日登上PlayStation 5、Xbox Series X/S、Steam 與 Epic Games Store平台。改編自經典恐怖電影《萬聖節》（1978），讓玩家親身體驗那個改變恐怖片歷史的萬聖夜——「他回來的那一夜」。

背景設定在美國伊利諾州的虛構小鎮「哈登菲爾德（Haddonfield）」，這個看似平靜的社區，萬聖夜的燈火閃爍、南瓜燈搖曳，卻在不知不覺間迎來死亡的氣息。曾在童年犯下命案、長年被關進精神病院的「麥可·邁爾斯（Michael Myers）」逃脫了，他回到家鄉，帶著面具、懷著執念，化身為人稱「惡靈傳說（The Boogeyman）」的恐怖象徵。

可自由選擇扮演兩種截然不同的角色陣營。若選擇成為麥可·邁爾斯，將戴上那張冰冷無表情的面具，成為邪惡本身。麥可擁有獨特的「潛行系統」與「恐懼影響機制」，能利用黑暗、陰影與靜默，悄悄接近獵物。他的力量來自「執念」——每當成功狩獵、逼迫受害者陷入恐懼時，便能激發新的能力，例如暫時性的隱形移動、破壞燈光、或瞬間出現在特定目標附近。遊戲中的 AI 居民並非只是背景，他們會察覺異常、報警求助、甚至勇敢反擊，使得麥可的狩獵過程充滿挑戰與變數。

首次引入「獨立單人劇情模式」，能以麥可的視角體驗電影中經典的那一夜——從精神病院逃出、潛入哈登菲爾德，到與勞麗·史卓德（Laurie Strode）命運交會的瞬間。整個劇情以第一人稱展開，氛圍營造極度壓抑，配合Unreal Engine 5的光影技術，重現1978年原作的冷調畫面與陰森街景。將真正理解「惡」如何誕生，以及那股不死的執念為何永遠無法消散。

如果玩家選擇成為「哈登菲爾德的英雄」，則必須在麥可的追殺中存活下來並拯救他人。這部分為核心的1對4非對稱多人模式，需與其他倖存者合作，利用環境中的日常物品、工具與武器來抵禦麥可的襲擊。英雄的任務不僅是逃命，更要組織防禦：你可以說服鎮民加入巡邏、設置陷阱、通報警局，甚至能指揮NPC射擊或干擾敵人。這種互動不僅提升策略性，也讓每場對局都充滿不可預測的變化。

遊戲的整體風格極具電影感。開發團隊IllFonic曾打造過《Friday the 13th: The Game》（十三號星期五：遊戲版），擅長營造壓迫與追逐的緊張節奏。《萬聖節遊戲》進一步強化光影運算、材質細節與AI智能系統，使整座小鎮彷彿一個活生生的世界。夜色下的街道、搖曳的燭光、被風掀動的樹葉，皆營造出近乎真實的恐懼體驗。配樂則由專業音樂團隊以約翰·卡本特（John Carpenter）經典旋律為基礎重新編曲，熟悉的「Halloween Theme」在遊戲中再度響起，讓人心跳加速。

操作上，採第三人稱與第一人稱混合視角，根據角色不同而切換。麥可的玩法偏向「潛行獵殺」，需熟悉路線與聲音干擾；英雄陣營則偏向「合作求生」，需配合隊友完成任務、修復設備或尋找逃脫路徑。整體操作直覺，但節奏張力強烈，任何一步失誤都可能導致全隊滅亡。

自公布以來，在恐怖遊戲社群中引起熱烈關注。粉絲普遍讚賞遊戲忠於原作氛圍，同時注入現代化的遊玩設計。許多媒體將其視為《Dead by Daylight》的潛在競爭者，並稱它是「更具電影靈魂的非對稱恐怖體驗」。部分玩家則對IllFonic的優化與伺服器穩定性保持觀望，但整體期待度極高，尤其是能以麥可視角遊玩的單人劇情，成為系列粉絲最期待的亮點。

《萬聖節遊戲》不僅是一款遊戲，更像是一場重返經典的儀式。它讓玩家重新步入那個寧靜又恐懼的郊區夜晚，感受麥可·邁爾斯那無法理解、卻永不消逝的黑暗。這是一場關於宿命與恐懼的對話——當黑夜降臨，沒有人能逃離「他」。

Halloween: The Game is an upcoming asymmetrical horror sandbox developed by IllFonic and published by IllFonic Publishing, with Gun Media as co-publisher. Scheduled for release on September 9, 2026, the game will launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC (via Steam and Epic Games Store). Inspired by John Carpenter’s legendary 1978 horror classic, it recreates the eerie, small-town terror of Haddonfield on the night Michael Myers returned.

The story begins on Halloween night, 1978. While the residents of the peaceful town of Haddonfield prepare for the festivities, evil stirs once again. In this game, players can choose to embody Michael Myers, the embodiment of pure evil known as the “Boogeyman,” or take on the role of one of Haddonfield’s desperate heroes trying to protect their neighbors and survive the night.

As Michael Myers, players wear the mask and step into the mind of a relentless killer. Using stealth, shadows, and a range of supernatural abilities, Michael hunts his victims with terrifying obsession. The game’s design emphasizes tension and fear — townsfolk will react dynamically, calling the police, hiding, or even fighting back when cornered. For the first time, players can also experience Michael’s side of the story in a standalone single-player mode, reliving the events of “The Night He Came Home” from his chilling perspective.

On the other side, players who choose to be Haddonfield’s heroes must rally the townspeople, warn them of the incoming danger, and help them escape the Boogeyman’s grasp. In 1v4 asymmetrical multiplayer matches, teamwork and strategy are essential. Heroes can make use of household tools, weapons, and clever tactics to slow down or outsmart Michael. As players convince more townsfolk and contact the authorities, they can fortify patrols, arm NPC allies, and create brief moments of safety in an otherwise unrelenting nightmare.

Powered by Unreal Engine 5, Halloween delivers cinematic lighting, lifelike NPC behavior, and immersive sound design that captures the dread and suspense of the original film. From the creaking floors of suburban homes to the flickering streetlights of Haddonfield, every scene is designed to evoke fear and tension.

Early impressions from the gaming community have been highly positive, praising IllFonic’s ability to balance single-player horror storytelling with asymmetrical multiplayer gameplay—a formula that combines narrative depth with the unpredictable terror of human opponents. Fans of both the original movie and the horror genre are anticipating it as one of the most authentic and atmospheric adaptations ever made.

In Halloween, no one is safe. Whether you are the hunter or the hunted, every shadow hides a story — and every heartbeat could be your last.
