Supermassive Isn’t Working On ‘Until Dawn 2’
Supermassive Games isn’t currently working on a sequel to the PlayStation 4-exclusive cinematic thriller Until Dawn, which became an unexpected hit for the developer last year, despite a meager marketing push by Sony. For now, the studio is working on “other things.”
“There’s a lot of speculation about what we’re doing and what we’re working on right now,” revealed Pete Samuels, Supermassive’s managing director, in an interview with GamesIndustry.biz. “We’re not working on Until Dawn 2 at the moment. We’re working on other things.”
Earlier this month, the studio announced an amicable end to its exclusive relationship with Sony that will allow it to develop multiplatform projects in the future.
“It seems that the next logical step for us now is to broaden that out into similar experiences, but with differences depending on the IP, the publisher, the platform, so on. That’s what we want, and that’s what we’re really focused on now… to take what we did with Until Dawn and push that even further,” added Samuels.
The studio is busy realizing a few virtual reality titles, including an on-rails spin-off to their spooky sleeper hit, Until Dawn: Rush of Blood, due this October for PlayStation VR.
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.
