Halloween has an aesthetic that offers great variety in how it's presented. Every year that passes, new Halloween themes are introduced that are influenced by new horror shows or movies alongside older cultural mainstays for the holiday. Video games follow those trends, old and new, and create one of the best parts about Halloween: the awesome multiplayer video game maps that come along with the season.
Some games choose to re-skin their maps, while other games create maps that are completely unique and specifically meant for the holiday. This multiplayer video game maps list will be looking at many types of maps. A few of the maps were also made by the gaming community to give them the spooky notoriety that they deserve.
Horror Escape Room - Fortnite Creative mode (1454-5487-5258)
The horror escape room map is a fun Fortnite creative mode map that will have players looking through different rooms and having to figure out a combination of both regular and jumping puzzles. It’s a map that players and their friends could race against one another to complete.
Players will have to search the area high and low in order to be able to unlock sections that let players into another location. If players go the wrong way, they’ll die and need to start from the beginning of the section.
Halloween Standoff - Call Of Duty: Mobile
The Halloween Standoff map in Call of Duty: Mobile was probably one of the coolest Halloween maps to come to mobile gaming. It felt like it went above and beyond for its player base and gave them something worthwhile. Call of Duty reused the Standoff map and redecorated it to look more Halloween themed, and the way they did it was great.
Every inch of the map was completely changed making to look like a quaint town that's getting ready to celebrate Halloween. It's not terrifying in a scream-and-run-away type of way, but in a creepily cute way that gives off The Nightmare Before Christmas vibes.
Adlersbrunn - Overwatch
Aldersbrunn in Overwatch is basically a re-skin of the bridge and castle gates of the Eichenwalde map. The biggest difference is that it's at night, and instead of the map having two areas on the bridge that players can fall off, that area is instead replaced by pools of water.
The map's background also appears a lot more ominous than the Eichenwalde version of the map, and the moonlight adds nice lighting to the experience. It's also interesting that it was a horde mode-based map.
The Heck Hole - Borderlands 3
Borderlands 3 has some of the best content that focuses on a Halloween-themed event. Players travel to a place called The Heck Hole. The Heck Hole map is really short and sweet. The small attention to detail that was put into it was a nice addition to the game. The players fight haunted hordes of ghost-themed enemies. There is also a nice pumpkin puzzle in the chapel to accompany it.
The entirety of the map is fun to explore and leads to a nice little boss fight where the mechanics are shown to the player instead of being told.
Monster Bash - Team Fortress 2
The Monster Bash map is actually a Team Fortress 2 community-made Halloween map that features statues of knights, rainfall outside, spooky library sections, and a reanimation machine in the center of the map. It came out for 2018's Scream Fortress Event. On top of all of that, the location is set in a Bavarian Gothic castle. The map also has a unique objective as players must collect buckets to fill up the animator.
The map has a strong Frankenstein's castle vibe with the reanimation machine carrying the carcass of a monster that players are trying to put back together with one another's body parts.
The Night At King's Canyon map in Apex Legends is by far one of the best-looking renditions of the King's Canyon map for the Halloween event the game had in 2019. It added a feeling to the game that many people never knew it could have. One aspect that is really eerie is the well decorated candle-lit areas. The light fog is also a nice touch to the night version of the map and adds a little more cover for players.
The map has a lot of nice features, like when players opened chests in certain areas, zombies popped out of them to add a bit of a jump scare factor.
Haunted Sectors - Destiny 2
The Haunted Sectors were areas in Destiny 2's 2021 Festival of the Lost that look like they've been overrun by spooky specters. The rooms are full of different Halloween-themed decorations as jack o' lantern and candles fill the halls. There is an odd spectral mist hanging about in the air of each location, and trees fill the area that look like they've been possessed by Demons.
The maps also include headless horseman-type enemies that drop candy when players take them out. Each of the maps is small but very fun to go through with friends, collecting candy and unlocking more loot.
Stranger Things Upside Down Map - Rocket League
fortnite jumping castle
The Upside Down Map in Rocket League is gorgeous and feels like it comes straight out of Stranger Things. The map was created for the Haunted Hallows Halloween event. The sky is raining down with ashes which also gives it the deeply unsettling vibes that the outside world of Silent Hill gives when it transforms. The red lights around the court also give off a highly ominous tone.
By far the best part about the course is being able to see the Mind Flayer from the show, lurking in the distance and watching over the players.
Autumn Harvest Fest Base - Monster Hunter: World
The 2017 Autumn Harvest Fest Monster Hunter: World base is one of the prettiest Halloween maps in gaming as it features a large array of festive decorations that look like they belong in the Monster Hunter universe. Some pumpkins are carved to have the face and shape of a Palico cat. There are also areas that have an overload of decorations that are absolutely gorgeous, including festive fireworks.
The bad thing about this map is that for how pretty it is, only a section of the map is fully decked out in Halloween decorations. Players will spend most of their time in that area, though, and it serves as the perfect Halloween eye candy.
Haddonfield - Dead By Daylight
Haddonfield is a town that is the main location of the Halloween movie series, and it's brought to life in Dead By Daylight. It is the best Halloween-themed map on the list because it takes place on Halloween and is based on a movie about murders on Halloween. The initial iteration of the map was a bit unbalanced, but it has since been updated, making it much more equal for both the survivor and the killer.
The map looks like an abandoned version of the town in the movies, and it manages to create a nice creepy atmosphere that feels great to play through.
