Back in June, we brought you the surprising news that legendary horror video game Until Dawn would be receiving a sequel.
Far from the frigid mountain chills of the original, Until Dawn 2 takes us to a beautiful tropical island.
Upon the announcement, we knew the game would land sometime in 2027, but we didn’t know exactly when… until now!
In a newly released teaser, we get confirmation that Until Dawn 2 will land on PS5 January 28th 2027. Alongside that information, we’ve also been given a pre-order date of September 10th.
Users will be given a choice of a standard or deluxe edition of Until Dawn 2, with the latter containing a plethora of bonus material.
In this standalone sequel, we meet a new cast of characters, working on the latest episode of their hit paranormal show “Dead True.” Supposedly, their island paradise has a dark history revolving around an abandoned mental facility.
However, the threat they face is much greater than any paranormal spooks, as a hulking figure armed with a machete emerges from the jungle. How many of the group will survive until dawn when help arrives? It’s up to you.
Of course, given the enormous success of 2015’s Until Dawn, it’s hardly surprising this sequel has emerged. The teasers promise more decision-based gameplay, enabling the player to control the fate of each character through their gameplay decisions. As the clips make clear, every character can survive the peril, if you make the right choice.
However, fans of the first game will remember that the promotion presented us with a game that looked like a straight-forward slasher tale. That wasn’t the case, as later gameplay revealed several unexpected twists. So, are we being led astray once more?
Undoubtedly, the sequel will be a huge success, given the hype the teasers have already generated.
Horror gamers the world over are already counting down the days until January 28th.
Until then, you can check out the newest teaser below:
