Cast your mind back to the murky distant past of 24 hours ago and you might remember publisher Boss Team Games teasing two projects based on John Carpenter’s Halloween. Well, it turns out one of those is a 16-bit-style platformer from Shantae developer WayForward, and the studio’s creating an Ash vs Evil Dead platformer too.
As reported by IGN, Boss Team (which previously published Saber Interactive’s now-defunct Evil Dead: The Game) is releasing both titles as part of its new RetroRealms series. The publisher describes its first two instalments as “gore-filled” and “fast-paced 90’s arcade style” platfomers, and you can get a taste of their retro-inspired action in the trailer below.
RetroRealms: Halloween and RetroRealms: Ash vs Evil Dead are both set to launch for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Switch on 18th November, and they’ll cost $24.99 USD (around £20) each. A $49.99 physical Double Feature bundle is also on the way, with Boss Team noting players owning both games will unlock new features, including the ability for protagonists Michael Myers and Ash Williams to cross over to each others’ worlds.
