A new map for Halloween: The Game is out there, and we get to see more hits to the Halloween IP at large
Another map is opening up for Halloween: The Game just ahead of the September 8th release on the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Just a solid way for IllFonic and Gun Interactive to cap off gamescom, as well. A new map that was rather expected, given the IP’s setting, but now we get to see it. I will not say live, as this is a nice little aerial fly-through, but a great way to see East Haddonfield for the Halloween universe. A location that many fans will know, but some hardcore fans might be able to spot a few deeper cuts into the IP if they look close enough. Some things that link back to the starting point of Michael, but I am getting ahead of myself with all of that in the current moment.
Many who have seen all of the Halloween IP would know that this is the area of town that Michael first starts his journey back home, after escaping the sanitarium. It definitely plays a bigger role in some of the other films outside of the originals, but it is a place where he starts some of the killing. In fact, if you look at some of the locations in the map below, some look to be from some of the Rob Zombie take on the IP or filled with some of the other changes that came about in the newer films. Especially the truck yard, where Michael does pick up the iconic look that he has had over the decades in the Halloween films. Not the mask, but the jumpsuit and some of the other elements that we have recently just associated with the character in the modern era. You can have a quick look at the fourth map that we have just a bit further down now, and get ready to take to the streets as the shape out there very soon.
Halloween: The Game — East Haddonfield Map Reveal
After breaking out of Smith’s Grove Sanitarium, Michael’s first stop on his merciless journey home is East Haddonfield, the 4th map reveal for Halloween: The Game.
How are you feeling about this location coming back from the past Halloween films, but with the newer look to it all? Are you glad to see that all of the versions of the IP are getting map inclusions, or did you only want it to stick to the original look and feel of the town? Will there be anything to do with the most recent films when it comes to full maps, or will that be too much to expect for a game that is backing on the original setting to help sell us on the horror? Let us discuss it all in the comment section down the page here. We will have all that we can for Halloween: The Game in the coming days and weeks, especially with the launch of the game so soon. Just be sure to watch the website and all of our social channels to see when we are going to have any of those updates drop out there. You will want to see where all of this goes, so you are ready to slay each other with the best of them.
