Until Dawn 2 is an upcoming sequel to the 2015 horror game Until Dawn, scheduled for release on PlayStation 5 in 2027. The game was announced in June 2026 during the PlayStation State of Play showcase [1, 2, 3].
Unlike the original developed by Supermassive Games, the sequel is developed by British studio Firesprite [1, 3]. The story follows a group of young adult ghost hunter influencers who run a paranormal channel called Dead True. They visit Akashina Island, a remote tropical or jungle island, shifting from the snowy mountain setting of the first game [1, 2, 3].
Gameplay centers on interactive movie-style choices where player decisions shape character survival and narrative branching, continuing the original's "everyone can live, everyone can die" tagline [1, 3]. Firesprite detailed that players will face moments like risking injury to save a baby boar from a bear trap or managing scandalous affairs to keep the group together. Relationship management influences story outcomes, creating a Butterfly Effect where small character moments can cause unforeseen consequences [3].
Narrative elements include tension among characters, a mysterious buff newcomer, graphic murders by a masked killer, cliff jumps, romance, and traditional death tropes [1, 3]. Actor Peter Stormare returns as the enigmatic Dr. Hill, linking back to the original game [1].
Until Dawn 2 is planned exclusively for PlayStation 5 and aims to expand on the horror and narrative choices of its predecessor, targeting a 2027 release [1, 2, 3].
