Halloween: The Game, IllFonic’s multiplayer survival sport primarily based on the Halloween movie franchise, obtained its first hotfix patch this morning. Nevertheless, the sport doesn’t formally launch till September 8 and is presently solely accessible in superior entry to those that pre-ordered the deluxe version. So, what sort of game-breaking bug might have presumably necessitated a sudden pre-release replace?
It’s doable it was the one that permit a 56-year-old character, who was modeled after a much-beloved late actor, sleep with its forged of underage youngsters. As noticed by a number of customers on X final evening, Halloween: The Sport beforehand featured a rather tongue-in-cheek sex minigame.
The minigame is clearly a play on the “Intercourse Alerts Dying” slasher film trope, which options a number of instances within the Halloween franchise. Sadly, it appears the devs ignored the truth that there’s a particular outlier within the forged of under-18 teenagers that make up Halloween: The Sport’s playable characters: the 56-year-old Samuel Loomis, who shares his in-game likeness with the deceased actor Donald Pleasence.

Very like Loomis, a number of of Halloween: The Sport’s playable characters are additionally from the Halloween movies, similar to, as an illustration, the 17-year-old Annie Brackett. In consequence, it ought to come as no shock that immediately’s Hotfix 1 patch for Halloween: The Sport has outright eliminated the intercourse minigame in its entirety.
Whereas the Hotfix 1 patch notes don’t point out the minigame, a number of posts on the sport’s subreddit confirm that it’s been eliminated. The builders haven’t referenced the minigame’s disappearance in both the Halloween: The Sport’s Discord server or on any of its socials.
Contemplating that the web solely caught on to this yesterday, I’d say {that a} sub-24-hour response time is fairly spectacular. Nonetheless, if this was certainly the rationale for the emergency pre-release patch, it’s equally unusual that no person in the course of the QA testing part caught that letting the likeness of a deceased middle-aged actor sleep with underage characters could be a possible problem. Maybe the devs can reintroduce the intercourse minigame sooner or later, however program Loomis to easily shake his head in disapproval on the sight of the wardrobe as an alternative.
