Sony Interactive Entertainment announced "Until Dawn 2" during its State of Play broadcast on June 3, 2026. The sequel to the 2015 horror adventure game is scheduled for release on PlayStation 5 in 2027. Developed by Firesprite, the game features a new cast and setting, independent of the original's story. The protagonists are a group of ghost hunters who run a popular paranormal channel called "Dead True." After previously staging fake horror experiences for views, they encounter genuine terror while filming on an uninhabited island. Wishlist registration is now open on the PlayStation Store. The announcement was part of a larger State of Play presentation that also included release dates for "Marvel's Wolverine" (September 15), "Onimusha: Way of the Sword" (September 25), and "ACE COMBAT 8: WINGS OF THEVE" (October 2), among other titles.
Firesprite, the studio behind the 2022 remake of the original Until Dawn, is developing the sequel. The game's protagonists run the popular paranormal channel "Dead True" and have previously manufactured supernatural content for their audience. On an uninhabited island, they face real threats for the first time. The announcement did not specify a narrower release window within 2027. The original Until Dawn was developed by Supermassive Games and released in 2015 for PlayStation 4. The sequel was one of several major reveals during Sony's June 2026 State of Play, which also included the first look at God of War LAUFEY and release dates for Silent Hill: Townfall and Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis.
