Until Dawn Remake Fuels Hopes for a Sequel Amid Exciting New Developments

Enthusiasm is swelling within the gaming community as the remake of Until Dawn has sparked discussions about a potential sequel. The updated version of the acclaimed 2015 title has launched on PS5 and PC, stirring up debates regarding its graphics, performance, and whether the remake was truly necessary. Notably, the original game was removed from the PS Store in several regions due to this release, prompting further conversation.

This remake has been developed by Ballistic Moon, a studio that took the reins without the involvement of Supermassive Games, who reportedly did not part ways with Sony on amicable terms. On a more positive note, it appears that Sony is recommitting to its intellectual property, with a film adaptation in progress at PlayStation Productions, alongside emerging rumors of Until Dawn 2.

Rumors surrounding Until Dawn 2 are gaining traction as the remake debuted today, October 4. Some players managed to obtain copies early and uncovered a new post-credits scene featuring Hayden Panettiere, who reprised her role from the original game. This segment was freshly recorded for this edition, implying that the events occur several years following those of the initial installment.

Fans have shared on forums like Reddit that the actress indeed returned to provide fresh motion capture and voiceovers for this segment, which serves as a playful hint toward a potential sequel, as highlighted in a documentary included within the game. To further corroborate the speculation, a leaker has disclosed that Until Dawn 2 is already currently being developed, although it isn't expected to be developed by Ballistic Moon. Instead, Firesprite, another first-party studio under Sony, is handling the project, a studio known for previous involvement in a scrapped live-service reboot of Twisted Metal and the production of Horizon: Call of the Mountain.
