Halloween: The Game was designed to offer rich player progression, satisfying rewards, and robust customization. From compelling character cosmetic items to meaningful gameplay unlocks, our team has strived to ensure your time in Haddonfield is commended. While we’ve previously highlighted various elements of the metagame experience in our asymmetrical horror sandbox, we are thrilled to demonstrate what players can look forward to from the horrifying hook of Halloween: The Game.
Whether you’re diving into the singleplayer story mode, private matches against AI, or online 1v4 matchmaking, Halloween: The Game offers a feast of challenges to chase and a nearly endless number of milestones to achieve. We’re delivering players Passive + Progressive Challenges for both Michael and Civilians, Singleplayer Story Mode Challenges to encourage replayability, comprehensive character customization, customizable player profile cards, four levels of player progression, and a rollable perk card system complete with decks and an earnable currency. Completionists have their work cut out for them.
Player Progression Levels
By completing matches or enjoying the singleplayer story mode, players earn experience points that are applied to four distinct categories of Player Progression Levels: Profile Level, Killer Level, Civilian Level, and Weapon Level. Profile Level encompasses all gained XP regardless of which role you choose to play. Killer Level is earned by becoming the Boogeyman and terrorizing the residents of Haddonfield. Civilian Level is tied to each playable Civilian character. And Weapon Level is earned by dispatching victims with specific equipable weapons as Michael.
Growing your Player Progression Levels unlocks additional playable Civilian characters, new Michael abilities, supplemental Starting Items for Civilians, cosmetic rewards, new tiers of challenges, executions, and more. Dedicated players can also prestige upon reaching the max progression level in any of these four categories to chase additional rewards and flex their achievements.
Passive + Progressive Challenges
In addition to Player Progression Levels, Halloween: The Game features an extensive suite of Passive and Progressive Challenges. Passive Challenges are divided into multiple categories for both Killer and Civilian roles and are automatically tracked regardless of which character you select. Progressive Challenges are tied to specific Civilian characters, Michael Skins, and weapon types, and players are tasked with tackling these objectives in succession to unlock rewards.
Singleplayer Challenges
Our singleplayer story mode also provides optional challenges for all six playable chapters that unlock alternate outfits and unique cosmetic items, including a legendary look for committed Boogeymen who complete every singleplayer challenge. Between Passive, Progressive, and optional singleplayer objectives, Halloween: The Game is packed with 100s of challenges for horror fans to chase.
Player Customization
Upon gaining Player Progression Levels and completing challenges, players will earn a satisfying suite of options for customizing Michael Myers and Civilians.
Michael Customization
Michael loadouts come equipped with two starting traits - Killer Sense and Shape Jump, which provide essential tools for stalking and slaying the residents of Haddonfield. From there, players can customize Michael’s appearance with Killer Skins and Tints, unlock and select new starting weapons with earnable tints, and choose three distinct Michael abilities such as Reality Tear, Blackout, Detection Pulse, and more.
Civilian Customization
Civilian Characters offer their own unique stats and signature traits, making your choices incredibly important when facing off against the Shape of Evil. Civilian loadouts allow you to customize each character’s appearance, including outfits with multiple tints, hair/headwear, eyewear, and makeup/blemishes, unlockable starting items, and Civilian Perk Decks.

Profile Cards
As an added layer of customization, Halloween: The Game will also feature fully adjustable Player Profile Cards. By increasing their Player Progression Levels and completing challenges, players earn Profile Icons, Profile Backgrounds, and Profile Titles that can be used to build Profile Cards. There are dozens of options to choose from, and these personalized Profile Cards add extra flair to the online multiplayer experience.
Civilian Perks
Civilian Perk Cards enable players to craft their very own Perk Decks. Completing matches supplies Perk Points, which can be used to roll for Perk Cards that provide varying levels of gameplay boosts within matches. To increase their odds of pulling higher-rarity cards, players can choose to spend greater amounts of Perk Points during rolls. Players can also use Perk Points to temporarily upgrade cards they own, which increases their level for a set number of matches. Once players have amassed a solid collection of Perk Cards, they can construct Perk Decks which can be equipped to Civilian Loadouts. The randomized in-game Perk Card rolls ensure no two matches of Halloween: The Game play out the same.
