Until Dawn Remake Developer Ballistic Moon Reportedly Shuts Down
The UK-based studio has ceased operations following layoffs and unsuccessful attempts to secure funding for new projects.
- Ballistic Moon, the developer of the PS5 and PC remake of Until Dawn, has reportedly closed, with only the studio's founders and possibly a few employees remaining.
- The studio conducted two rounds of layoffs in 2024, letting go of approximately 40 employees in September and another 20 in December after the game's release.
- Sources claim there are no remaining staff in public relations, marketing, or development, leaving the game without support for bug fixes or updates.
- Attempts to secure funding or a publisher for new projects were unsuccessful, and discussions with Sony about additional updates or future work did not materialize.
- While the studio was described as a generally good place to work, some employees reported weeks of unpaid overtime before layoffs were announced.
