Until Dawn was one of the biggest horror hits of the last generation, and it sounds like there might finally be a proper follow-up to the game. Originally released in 2015 for the PlayStation 4, Until Dawn takes a teen horror movie approach survival, making every choice matter when it comes to keeping a group of eight characters alive. The game just came back to life as a remake available on PS5 and PC, with a film adaptation also in the works.

As leaked by Nick Baker on Twitter and reported by ComicBook.com, first-party PlayStation studio Firesprite is allegedly working on an Until Dawn sequel. The update was spurred by the release of the Until Dawn remake, which features new ending material that implied a sequel would be coming.

Firesprite, previously responsible for the survival horror VR game The Persistence, was already known to be recruiting for a narrative horror title. The studio would be taking the reins for the first time, as the original Until Dawn was made by Supermassive Games, and Ballistic Moon, which features some former Supermassive developers, took charge of the remake.

What Until Dawn 2 Would Mean For The Franchise

This Might Not Be The End Either

An official Until Dawn 2 wouldn't be the first Until Dawn follow-up in any form, as Supermassive's 2022 horror game The Quarry acted as something of a spiritual successor. The game's new ending content, however, implies that Until Dawn 2 will follow some of the same characters as the original game, re-opening a story that was generally thought to be closed for the past nine years.

Considering the amount of Until Dawn activity happening at the moment, Sony seems to be positioning the standout modern horror IP as one of its core franchises in the future. If Until Dawn 2 releases at some point in the future and manages to find a strong reception, it might very well be the first of several more.

Our Take On The Rumored Until Dawn Sequel

Some Apprehension Could Be Wise

It's surprising that an Until Dawn sequel might be in different hands than the remake was, and bouncing between developers on story-driven game franchises doesn't inspire confidence. There's still an opportunity to recapture some of the game's strong atmosphere, however, something that The Quarry didn't necessarily accomplish. Time will tell whether a sequel can live up to Until Dawn, but it's interesting to hear that it's on the table regardless.
