IGN reveals that one of the games from yesterday's news of two new Halloween games is a throwback 16-bit platformer. We're just going to go ahead and assume it's not the one using the Unreal 5 Engine and John Carpenter's input. The reveal from Boss Team also unveils a new Ash vs Evil Dead with a similar style will arrive at the same time, with both falling under the heading RetroRealms. Here's the RetroRealms: Halloween and Ash vs Evil Dead - Announcement Trailer along with some details:

"Everyone at Boss Team Games are huge fans of horror, and getting to work with these legendary properties is a dream come true," Boss Team Games' CEO Steve Harris explained in a press release. "It has been an amazing experience collaborating with WayForward, and our licensors to create not one, but two, fast-paced 90's arcade style games while remaining true to the original Halloween film and 'Ash vs Evil Dead' series. The trailer dropping today gives fans a taste of the gore-filled gameplay and fast-paced action and we can't wait to show more!"

Both RetroRealms: Halloween and RetroRealms: Ash vs Evil Dead, as depicted in the announcement trailer, are 16-bit platformers. Both games are coming to PC, PS5, Switch, and Xbox on October 18. Both games can be purchased separately via a digital storefront for $24.99 each, or you can purchase a physical Double Feature bundle, which will retail for $49.99.
