  IllFonic Patches Out Controversial Closet Mini-Game from 'Halloween' | FOX on Games - Video Game News & Industry Analysis 12.09.2026 1мин

  Developer IllFonic has officially patched out a controversial "Two-Person Power-Up" closet mini-game from its new asymmetrical 4v1 horror multiplayer title, Halloween: The Game.
