Facts First

  • A sequel to Until Dawn is in development and scheduled for release on PlayStation 5 (PS5) next year.

What Happened

Sony has revealed that Until Dawn 2 is in development and scheduled for release on PlayStation 5 (PS5) next year. The game is being developed by Firesprite Games, a studio based in Liverpool, rather than the original developer, Supermassive Games. The sequel's plot follows a crew of successful TV ghosthunters who fake their content and encounter true horror on a tropical island, a significant change from the first game's snow-covered alpine resort setting. Actor Peter Stormare is confirmed to be returning for the sequel.

Why this Matters to You

If you enjoyed the original Until Dawn, you may have a new, high-fidelity horror narrative to experience on your PS5 next year. The shift to a tropical island setting and a new developer could offer a fresh take on the interactive horror genre you appreciate. The return of a key actor from the first game might provide a sense of continuity within this new story.

What's Next

The game is scheduled for release on PS5 next year, which means official trailers, gameplay reveals, and a specific launch date are likely to be announced in the coming months. The development shift to Firesprite Games may lead to new creative directions for the franchise.
