excited for more slasher horror

A sequel to Until Dawn has been announced, but the successor to the 2015 
horror game isn't being developed by the original creators, Supermassive Games.

Revealed during Sony 's State of Play on June 2, Until Dawn 2 will be led by 
Firesprite Games, the studio behind Horizon: Call of the Mountain , which was 
the team's first game release. "Like many of you, a bunch of us on the team 
are massive fans of the original Until Dawn , so getting to build the sequel 
has been a dream come true," Firesprite said in a PlayStation Blog post. 

"Part of our mission from day one has been honoring that core DNA: character 
drama, tough choices, and those unforgettable horror moments that made the 
first game so special. Like the original game, Until Dawn 2 will feature a 
group of friends, only this time they'll be isolated on a tropical island. 
The group is a crew of ghost hunters behind the fictional program, Dead True, 
but few know that their videos and supernatural findings are staged. All that 
changes when they encounter a real-life horror on the island and will 
seemingly need to last until dawn to escape.

"Having just signed a deal with a big TV 
network, the crew gets shipped off to an abandoned tropical island for their 
first fully funded episode. At first, its all sun, sand, secrets plus some 
very not-safe-for-the-workplace drama as their complicated relationships 
bubble to the surface," Firesprite teases.

"Of course, theres more to this beautiful island than meets the eye. Beneath 
this blissful exterior, hide dreadful and heartbreaking secrets  centuries 
old and hungry for vengeance and our crew have landed right in the middle of 
it. 

"Chasing likes might have brought them here, but survival quickly becomes the 
only metric that counts. Will you help them escape to tell the world their 
story, or will they become just another haunted legend, claimed by the 
island?"

Once more, the sequel will offer up difficult decisions and life-or-death 
consequences that will have a butterfly effect throughout the rest of the 
story. The trailer is giving classic horror slasher vibes, which I'm always a 
fan of, and I'm looking forward to seeing how the story unfolds. Oh, and it 
looks like Dr Hill is back to provide some more eerie commentary. 

Firesprite has confirmed that more story details and a deep dive into Until 
Dawn 2 's gameplay will be released in the coming months. The game is slated 
to launch in 2027.
