Halloween Multiplayer Overview Trailer: Killer Cuts
In Halloween, players will either play the roles of residents of the town of Haddonfield or put on the Shatner mask of Michael Myers.
The citizens must survive the slaughter of Myers and rescue their fellow neighbors from his blade. Meanwhile, players in the Myers role will hide in the shadows, observe potential victims, and take them out in various ways.
The trailer explains how Myers gains rewards for kills of NPC civilians, but if he can take out the four player-controlled residents, then the rewards are greater still.
The trailer ends with the promise of fresh details on character progression, character traits, customization, proximity chat, and more in the near future.
