Overview
- Sony revealed Until Dawn 2 during its State of Play on Tuesday, June 2, confirming the long-rumored sequel will arrive on PlayStation 5 in 2027.
- Liverpool studio Firesprite, which Sony acquired in 2021 and is best known for Horizon: Call of the Mountain, is developing the game rather than the original creator Supermassive Games.
- The sequel is a standalone story that follows the viral-paranormal crew Dead True as they travel to Akashima Island and face genuine supernatural threats, and it features a new cast with Peter Stormare returning as Dr. Hill.
- PlayStation and Firesprite say the game will sharpen the series’ choice-driven design by making character relationships more influential to branching outcomes, using a so-called Butterfly Effect to turn small moments into major plot changes.
- Sony has not set a specific release date, only a 2027 window, and Firesprite plans to roll out gameplay, cast, and story details in the months before launch, marking a test of the studio’s first major non-VR PlayStation narrative project.
