Overview
- PlayStation announced on Thursday that Until Dawn 2 will launch on January 28, 2027 exclusively for PlayStation 5 and debuted a new trailer during its State of Play.
- Firesprite Games is leading development with narrative co‑development support from AdHoc Studio, the team behind last year’s Dispatch.
- The story follows the Dead True ghost‑hunting crew as an investigation at Blackwood Sanatorium leads them to Akishima Island and reconnects to the original game through Dr. Hill, played by Peter Stormare.
- The trailer emphasized the series’ choice‑driven design and showed grisly gameplay beats, including a live ritual decision, a collapsing rope bridge, and a wendigo attack.
- Pre-orders open September 10 and will include Dr. Hill‑themed cosmetics and deluxe digital extras, and the studio change positions the sequel as an early first‑party PlayStation release for 2027.
