The rumoured sequel has turned out to be true. Firesprite, developers of the sci-fi horror shooter The Persistence, have indeed been at work on Until Dawn 2, which is slated to arrive on the PlayStation 5 in 2027. Rather than returning to the the chilly Blackwood Mountain resort, players are going tropical.
Until Dawn 2 is a standalone experience, featuring a brand new cast, and a whole new world to explore. Obviously, your decisions still shape the story: who falls victim, and who survives. The story centers this time on a crew of ghost hunters, who are behind the wildly popular paranormal channel, “Dead True”. Ironically, they’ve never actually seen anything supernatural, as the whole show is staged.
That changes quickly, as the crew has just signed a deal with a big TV network, and gets shipped off to an abandoned tropical island for their first fully funded episode. Things take a dark turn once on the island, as beneath the blissful exterior, hides dark secrets that are centuries old and hungry for vengeance.
As is the case, you’ll be needing to make some tough decisions in the game. However, this time, how you manage relationships within the crew matters more than ever, with some branches based on where things stand between characters.
More details on the game are expected in the coming months.
