Yes. Halloween: The Game single player mode is confirmed and was first shown at the Future Games Show single-player reveal. The mode keeps the 1v4 asymmetric format from multiplayer and replaces human teammates and the opposing Killer with AI, so a solo player can run the Heroes of Haddonfield with three AI Survivors against AI Michael Myers, or take the Michael Myers role against an AI Survivor team.
How it keeps the 1v4 format
The Future Games Show single-player reveal (covered by GamesPress) describes the 1v4 format carrying over into solo play without changing the role split: one Killer on one side, four Survivors on the other. In single-player mode, the player fills either the Michael Myers slot or the Heroes of Haddonfield slot, and the four-versus-one balance is preserved by AI filling the rest of the lobby. For Survivors, three AI teammates handle generators, healing, and rescues in parallel with the player character. For Myers, the AI Heroes of Haddonfield follow the same objective pacing a human team would.

Where the mode fits in the launch
The September 8, 2026 digital release and the September 4, 2026 Early Access window for Digital Deluxe pre-orders both include single-player mode, so solo players do not need to wait for a post-launch patch to play the 1v4 solo format. The mode is part of the launch package on Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, alongside the multiplayer 1v4 format that anchors the rest of the game.
