Rumor: ‘Until Dawn’ Goes On-Rails With ‘Rush of Blood’

Published

Don’t stow away your Uggs just yet. If this rumor is true, Supermassive Games may be returning us to the chilling, and chilly, world of Until Dawn with DLC that will take advantage of the soon-to-be-released PlayStation VR.

The fine folks at Destructoid believe this to be true, citing two separate sources that claim to have first-hand experience with content that sounds entirely unlike everything we’ve seen up to this point.

Also, minor story spoilers incoming for those of you who haven’t finished Until Dawn proper.

“You get transported around inside a mine cart; it’s very literally an on-rails experience,’ explains one source in an email describing DLC called Rush of Blood. “There are a few scattered jumpscares, as you’d expect, but I played the same 20 minute section twice (once with DS4, once with dual Move controllers), so I’m hoping the full DLC is a lot more padded out. I didn’t see which character I was playing as, I’m not sure if it’s specified, but no names were mentioned at all.”>

“It starts off shooting targets in the snow, then moves toward a house and as you get deeper into the house, enemies start appearing (I believe they were Wendigos). The frequently reused jumpscare is the ‘ghost’ from inside the house in Until Dawn, who you end up fighting for the final area I played. Upon killing the ghost, the game would crash every time.”

Supermassive Games certainly seems interested in exploring the world of Until Dawn, so it’s not surprising that they would expand on it with DLC. What would be surprising is if that content came in the form of first-person on-rails DLC.

It’s not at all a bad surprise, more of a startle. Like when a moth dive-bombs me when I’m outside and I immediately assume I’m being attacked by a rhino beetle covered in wasps, or something.

Does that make sense?

AreYouWatching.com: ‘The Watchers’ Interactive Website Is Full of Creepy Easter Eggs

Published

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.
