Direct answer
Halloween: The Game launches with Michael Myers and ten playable Standard Edition Civilians: Jennifer Aarons, Tanya Harrison, Rachel, Eric, Marcus Navarro, Thomas Armitage, Bob Simms, Lynda van der Klok, Annie Brackett, and Laurie Strode. The Digital Deluxe package adds Richard and Alexis, bringing the documented launch Civilian roster to twelve for owners of that content. Dr. Samuel Loomis and Sheriff's Deputies also appear as post-death return roles, but they should not be counted as ordinary selectable launch Civilians without a menu-level source.

How Civilian characters differ
Every playable Civilian has unique statistics and signature traits. Official material defines four stats:
- Athleticism: movement efficiency on foot or by bike.
- Personality: persuasion, alerting authorities, follower capacity, Fear resistance, and Stalk resistance.
- Resourcefulness: repairs, environmental awareness, vehicle use, and firearms.
- Capability: vigor and effectiveness with melee weapons or thrown household items.
Civilian loadouts can include outfits, appearance options, unlockable starting items, and perk decks. These systems mean a character page should cover role, stats, signature trait, starting-item unlocks, team use, access requirement, and patch date. The official site does not publish a complete numeric roster table, so numbers from launch screenshots or community testing must be labeled by build.

Official profiles describe Thomas as a confident college football player and leader, Jennifer as prepared and academic, Tanya as socially connected, Rachel as a punk and occult-minded outsider, and Marcus as an independent biker who protects his family. These biographies support personality and editorial context; they do not by themselves prove gameplay strength.
Legacy Characters from the 1978 Movie
Bob, Lynda, Annie, and Laurie return as reimagined characters with new designs and voice performances. The official June 11, 2026 announcement confirms both their multiplayer access and story appearances.
