New Michael Myers game launches on console and PC with multiplayer, despite poor optimisation
Developing story first seen 2 hours ago
Halloween: The Game has arrived on PC and consoles, following an early access release phase. This slasher title centres on Michael Myers and delivers a six-chapter story mode that serves as the game's narrative backbone alongside competitive multiplayer functionality. The campaign is structured to introduce and reinforce the core gameplay systems, with the opening chapter presenting six challenges for players to overcome as they progress through club and street environments.
The story mode operates as both a campaign experience and extended tutorial, teaching players melee combat, stealth mechanics, and execution techniques that transfer directly into multiplayer encounters. However, the PC release has faced notable optimisation challenges that can degrade performance, particularly during multiplayer sessions. Players on systems near minimum specifications will require graphics configuration adjustments to achieve stable frame rates and reduce input lag, though dedicated guides are available to assist with these settings.
