Halloween DLC on 27 October 2026: Michael Myers skins, The Tower Farm and new survivors
IllFonic is bringing the first paid Halloween DLC on 27 October 2026, adding Michael Myers skins, survivors Michelle and Eugene, and the free map The Tower Farm.
The paid content focuses on Michael Myers cosmetics, including a skin inspired by Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers and a second skin based on Halloween (2018). Two new survivors, Michelle and Eugene, are also on the way.
What happened
GameSpot reports that IllFonic plans to release the first paid DLC for Halloween on 27 October 2026. The studio is tying that release to several pieces of content: a free map update, new Michael Myers skins, and additional paid characters. According to the report, all of this content is set to go live on the same date, meaning the paid and free additions will arrive together.
The first skin mentioned is based on Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers and is priced at $10, according to GameSpot. A second Michael Myers skin, inspired by Halloween (2018), is also planned and will likewise cost $10. That puts two different film versions of Michael Myers at the center of the first DLC wave.
Alongside the cosmetic content, two new survivor characters are being added: Michelle and Eugene. They will be sold together for $10. Civilian Costumes Pack 1 is also listed, with 14 outfits and 42 color variants, for $10. GameSpot says this content is part of the same first paid expansion rolling out around the 27 October 2026 release date.
The report also says IllFonic sees this release as the start of a broader content plan for the game’s first year. That means the 27 October update is being presented not as a standalone pack, but as the first of several planned content drops. A full roadmap with all dates has not yet been made public.

Background
The new content references two films in the Michael Myers series: Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers and Halloween (2018). GameSpot says The Tower Farm will be added as a free map and that it is inspired by a location from Halloween 5. That links the first paid DLC and the free map update to the same film source, although the exact location used as inspiration has not been named.
According to the same source, IllFonic says this is the first of several content drops planned for the game’s first year. A full roadmap with all dates has not yet been published, so only the 27 October 2026 date is currently confirmed in the report. The source also does not mention platform differences or regional pricing adjustments, so the listed $10 prices are only confirmed in the context of the GameSpot report.
The announced names Michelle and Eugene are explicitly described in the report as new survivors. GameSpot also mentions Civilian Costumes Pack 1 with 14 outfits and 42 color variants, showing that IllFonic is bundling character content, a map, and cosmetic items in the same release. The combination of a free map, two separate Michael Myers skins, two survivors, and a clothing pack makes 27 October 2026 a major content date for the game.
