Overview
- PlayStation announced on Thursday, September 3, 2026 that Until Dawn 2 will launch exclusively on PlayStation 5 on January 28, 2027 with pre-orders opening September 10, 2026.
- Sony confirmed two editions at launch: a Standard Edition and a Digital Deluxe Edition that adds cosmetic packs and a ‘Diorama of Death’ that showcases grisly character demises.
- Firesprite is leading development and credited AdHoc Studio for narrative co-development, a pairing PlayStation highlights to sharpen the game’s branching story and dialogue.
- The sequel follows the Dead True ghost-hunting crew from an investigation at Blackwood Sanatorium to a remote South Pacific location called Akishima Island and includes the return of Dr. Hill and a wendigo cameo.
- Firesprite says the game will emphasize player choice that alters who lives or dies and deliver ‘more than a few gruesome deaths,’ making it a direct continuation of Until Dawn’s consequence-driven design and a focal title in PlayStation’s early 2027 slate.
