IllFonic’s Halloween: The Game looks exciting, but will it last?

It’s been almost ten years since Dead by Daylight released, revolutionizing multiplayer horror games and inspiring a steady flow of ill-fated imitators to follow in its wake, with yet another close on the horizon. The latest horror franchise to take the reins and create their very own asymmetrical game is Halloween, developed by IllFonic and set to release this September. 

With a recent gameplay trailer, Halloween has generated some hype around its release, raising hopes that it could be the rare exception to the asymmetrical horror game curse, but the question still remains: will it survive where other, similar games failed?
