Following yesterday’s teaser from publisher Boss Team Games, developer WayForward Technologies has announced the first two games in a brand new series — RetroRealms: Halloween and RetroRealms: Ash vs Evil Dead. The two games will be available separately digitally or as a physical double-feature bundle.

RetroRealms: Halloween and RetroRealms: Ash vs Evil Dead will release on October 18, 2024. Both games will be available on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam.

Both games are 16-bit style platformers with a fast-paced 90’s arcade style. Halloween puts players in control of Michael Myers and other characters from the original 1978 film in an attempt to defeat the ultimate evil that has taken over the world. Meanwhile, Ash vs Evil Dead pits Ash Williams against Deadites and other familiar characters from the original STARZ series. Both games feature a variety of familiar locations lifted from their source material.

The two games will connect to unlock additional gameplay features, such as transferring characters from one game to the other. A 3D RetroRealms Arcade gateway will also provide a way to access these games and all upcoming games in the series, offering a way to redeem in-game tickets, view leaderboards, and find "other exclusive content."
