IllFonic and Gun Interactive have dropped a short but sweet reveal trailer for the two additional Civilians being added to Halloween: The Game. Players get a look at Eugene Kelly and Michelle Blanton, who will be making their debut on October 27 as part of the upcoming Civilian Characters Pack.
Available for purchase as a two-character bundle for $9.99 USD, as with the other Civilians, Eugene and Michelle carry their own unique traits to help even the odds against Michael.
Eugene Kelly was a fledgling kid genius until he found his true calling… being a game master for his tabletop role playing game campaigns. Due to his pesky habit of being too smart for his own good and acting as an exasperating know-it-all, he was never the most popular kid in school. When he wasn’t tutoring football captain Thomas in calculus or being ignored by the girls, Eugene found solace in fantasy– the library providing a haven for him to pursue his true passions.
His love for tabletop games and crafting new, imaginary worlds eventually distracted from his other ambitions, causing his grades to dip and making college an afterthought. Now, he spends his time in Haddonfield working a dead-end job. As long as he has his campaign, he’s not complaining.
Eugene’s Unique Trait, Lurker, allows him to linger in bushes to increase both stamina regen and stalk degradation.
Meanwhile, Michelle Blanton is Haddonfield’s local artist. Visiting the Chicago Art Institute in elementary school ignited a passion in Michelle that forever changed the trajectory of her life and squashed her parents’ hopes of her becoming a rich, successful doctor. Michelle paints her own path, even if the residents of Haddonfield think she’s a little bit different.
It doesn’t matter that Michelle still lives at home with her parents two years after graduation because she’s on a journey to create works that reflect her unique perspective and vibrant imagination. Her bedroom, which doubles as her art studio, showcases her colorful and curious personality. Every nook and cranny is filled with half-finished sculptures, charcoal etchings, comic books, storyboards for the weird experimental animated short she plans on making, and anything that inspires her. Now the biggest question is, will this artist become Michael’s next grisly work of art?
Michelle’s Unique Trait, Therapeutic, grants a percentage of health gained from health items to those in her close vicinity.
The Civilian Characters Pack will release alongside the Halloween 5 Farm Tower Map, as well as two paid Michael Myers skins.
Halloween: The Game is available digitally on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store. The game is also available physically on PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series.
