You’ll Be Able to Take on Michael Myers as Laurie Strode and Other Legacy Characters in ‘Halloween: The Game’!
The creators of ‘Halloween: The Game’ have announced that players will step into the shoes of Laurie Strode & other legacy characters!
I’ll never forget my first time watching John Carpenter‘s Halloween. The shy sincerity of Laurie Strode (played by the legendary Jamie Lee Curtis). The terror she faced in The Shape, aka, Michael Myers. The cheers that ripped through me as she took him down again and again, leading to that final horrifying moment where he rises once more just as Dr. Loomis (Donald Pleasance) arrives. Well, exciting news today, as the Halloween: The Game creators have announced that you’ll be able to take on the slasher icon as Laurie Strode and other legacy characters!
The announcement reveals that players will have the opportunity to step into the shoes of Laurie, as well as her friends Annie, Lynda and yes, even Bob!
Notes the official website: “For fans around the world, the sinister story of Michael Myers’ senseless murder of his sister Judith, his unexpected escape from Smith’s Grove Sanitarium, and the subsequent killing spree that unfolded on Halloween night in 1978 remains one of the most impactful narratives in horror. Halloween: The Game is honored to share that haunting tale from the perspective of Michael Myers in our singleplayer story mode, but while the Boogeyman may serve as the pale-faced icon of Halloween, there are other prominent characters who made that dreadful holiday one the town of Haddonfield will never forget. We are excited to announce Bob Simms, Annie Brackett, Lynda van der Klok, and Laurie Strode will be reimagined for Halloween: The Game.”
Adds the team, “In close collaboration with Malek Akkad and Compass International Pictures, we developed reimagined designs of these iconic characters, inspired by the original film, for our asymmetrical horror sandbox.”
Voicing the legacy characters are Nicholas Leung (Bob), Angela Carbone (Lynda), Kaitlyn Robrock (Annie) and Chelsea Krause (Laurie).
Like every other playable character in the game, the legacy characters will come with a standard outfit, with unlock-able alternatives that players can access through achievements.
Along with the announcement, the site also confirms that the Standard Edition of will feature 10 playable Civilians at launch: Jennifer, Tanya, Rachel, Eric, Marcus, Thomas, Bob, Lynda, Annie, and Laurie.
