Developer Confirms Slasher Movie Inspired ‘Until Dawn’ Is Still On the Way
Of all the horror games I get emails asking for an update on, the teen slasher inspired horror title Until Dawn seems to be the one many of you are most curious of. A promising video game getting lost in development limbo isn’t an uncommon occurrence in this industry, so when one goes quiet for an extended period of time, it’s easy to add it to the list of canned horror games that grows every year. Thankfully, Until Dawn isn’t among them.
After receiving a few requests on the game’s status I decided to contact its developer, Supermassive Games, to see what’s up with the title. While I wasn’t able to get much information on its progress, Supermassive’s CEO and managing director Pete Samuels did confirm the game is still on the way and they’re “really pleased with the way it’s going,” and “there will be further news at some point regarding [a] release date.” Nothing to write home about, I know, but at the very least, we know it’s still incoming.
So there you go! Fret no more, dear reader, you’ll soon get your slasher fix!

Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.
The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.
Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.
You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.
There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
