Halloween: The Game Characters

Launch roster overview

The Standard Edition includes 10 playable Civilians on day one. All 10 also appear in the single-player story. The roster is divided between six residents created for the game and four reimagined characters from the 1978 film.

Group	Confirmed characters	Availability
Original residents	Thomas, Jennifer, Tanya, Rachel, Marcus, Eric	Standard Edition
Legacy residents	Bob, Lynda, Annie, Laurie	Standard Edition
Additional residents	Richard, Alexis	Digital Deluxe Edition

Michael Myers is the playable killer in the story and the one-player side of multiplayer. Dr. Loomis and Sheriff’s Deputies can also become active participants under match conditions, but they are not listed as normal Civilian lobby picks in the confirmed Standard roster.

Stat warning: Public character biographies establish personality and background. Claims that a specific character repairs fastest, recruits NPCs fastest, resists fear best, or has the highest strength remain preview interpretation until a complete official stat table or launch test confirms them.

Original Heroes of Haddonfield

Thomas Armitage

Thomas is a 21-year-old college football player and a confident local leader. He regularly helps at his father’s furniture business and is willing to stand up for the people around him.

The biography supports a protective personality. It does not, by itself, prove a specific combat bonus or escape statistic.

Jennifer Aarons

Jennifer works at the local bookstore, saves money for college, and plans to leave Haddonfield. She is organized, well read, and focused on a future beyond the town.

Her background suggests preparation as a character theme, but no official public source assigns her a confirmed repair or stealth ranking.

Tanya Harrison

Tanya works at a record store and sits near the center of Haddonfield’s social scene. Her official description emphasizes an outgoing personality, trends, music, and local connections.

She is frequently predicted to excel at NPC conversations. That prediction is sensible player theory, not a published ability value.

Rachel Calahan

Rachel is a punk and occult enthusiast studying funeral services with the goal of becoming a mortician. Her interests and style make her stand apart from Haddonfield’s suburban surface.

The official profile establishes her outlook and independence. It does not confirm immunity to fear or a special cemetery interaction.

Marcus Navarro

Marcus is an independent biker who has returned to Haddonfield. His biography centers on self-reliance and a protective relationship with his grandmother, Gloria.

Motorcycles and bicycles appear in game material, but his background does not confirm a unique vehicle speed or repair trait.

Eric Dunn

Eric is a loyal employee at Nichols Hardware. IllFonic identifies him as part of the six original residents and the Standard Edition roster.

Official sources currently say less about Eric than they do about the five characters above. Claims that he is the best mechanic are community interpretation and should remain unranked.

Legacy characters reimagined

Laurie Strode, Annie Brackett, Lynda van der Klok, and Bob Simms are not limited to story cutscenes. They are playable Civilians in multiplayer and appear throughout the single-player campaign.

The confirmed voice cast includes:

• Chelsea Krause as Laurie Strode.
• Kaitlyn Robrock as Annie Brackett.
• Angela Carbone as Lynda van der Klok.
• Nicholas Leung as Bob Simms.

Each legacy character has a default multiplayer outfit. Story challenges unlock alternate costumes and cosmetic items, including looks inspired by the original film.

Digital Deluxe additions

Richard and Alexis are available on day one with the Digital Deluxe Edition, bringing its Civilian roster to 12. They are playable characters, not Michael Myers skins.

Official sources do not provide enough background or final gameplay data to rank either character. A comparison must wait until IllFonic publishes their biographies or players can verify their traits in the release build.

How characters differ in play

IllFonic confirms that every playable Civilian has unique stats, special traits, and a distinct personality. Civilian progression is also character specific: each Civilian has an individual level, and players can equip perk decks drawn from their perk inventory.

The developer describes perks as an approachable system rather than a path to extreme competitive stacking. The final value of a character will depend on the released stats, available perk combinations, team plan, and map situation.

Michael, Loomis, and authority figures

Michael is always the central killer role. He progresses separately from the Civilian cast and has his own level, weapon unlocks, abilities, executions, and cosmetics.

Dr. Loomis and Sheriff’s Deputies enter multiplayer through the match’s escalation and return systems. A defeated player may return in one of these authority roles, and an authority figure is required for a successful detention attempt. That makes them situational characters rather than ordinary opening picks.

Stats and traits still unknown

IllFonic has not published complete stat values, trait text, perk compatibility, progression rewards, voice credits, or unlock requirements. A reliable ranking needs comparable values from the same patch.
