Until Dawn is making headlines again. Not for its adaptation on the big screen, quite the contrary. Sony is preparing a little surprise for gamers.
Until Dawn is one of those games that has left its mark on the minds of many PS4 players. Almost ten years later, the narrative horror game continues to establish itself as THE benchmark for Supermassive Games. Many are calling for a second opus, but finally it had its spiritual sequel with The Quarry. Until Dawn 2 is still not on the agenda, but a serious new leak indicates that Sony is preparing a little surprise for us.
Until Dawn will return soon
PlayStation is definitely not finished with Until Dawn. Last week, the branch dedicated to films and series announced the start of a film adaptation overseen by the Screen Gems label of Sony Pictures and especially David F. Sandberg (In the dark, Annabelle 2) to realization. The publisher obviously does not intend to stop there. According to the information BillBil-Kun, the company is preparing to announce a new version of Until Dawn on PS5 and PC. Remake? Remaster? The mystery remains, but knowing Sony’s penchant for small facelifts, we opt instead for the second option. Especially since according to the dataminer’s research, the game will absolutely not change its name.
Suffice to say that it is not yet tomorrow that the manufacturer will silence its detractors, who accuse it of relying too much on remasters and remakes of all kinds recently. Nine years later, Until Dawn could still use a little polish, the game having aged quite badly, let’s admit it. The announcement should be made within two weeks according to the same source, just like Death Stranding 2 On The Beach. Everything seems to confirm the rumors stating that a new State of Play would be imminent. Sony should therefore both shed light on its upcoming exclusives, but also announce more PC ports.
A State of Play very soon?
Perhaps PlayStation will be able to create a surprise with a few in-house games still kept secret. The PS5 release schedule for the year is still quite vague, with the next two big releases being FF7 Rebirth in February and Rise of the Ronin in March. Santa Monica and Naughty Dog have been working on new licenses for some time, London Studio is still working on its fantastic service game and that’s about it. In any case, we can count on Death Stranding 2 and Until Dawn given the reliability of this source. It now remains to be seen when Sony will announce its event and if it will be able to convince after a very reassuring Xbox Direct.
