Illfonic rejects Dead by Daylight comparison for Halloween

Illfonic chief creative officer Jared Gerritzen told GameSpot in an interview published 21 September 2026 that comparing Halloween to Dead by Daylight is flawed, likening it to mistaking cricket for baseball. He said the studio builds a bespoke game for each franchise. Halloween: The Game released 8 September 2026 for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5 and PC.
