Supermassive Games' hugely entertaining PS4 slasher horror Until Dawn is – as was widely reported prior today's PlayStation State of Play showcase – getting a PlayStation 5 and PC remaster, and it'll be launching later this year.
The original Until Dawn released for PlayStation 4 back in 2015, offering up an atmospheric, knowingly cheesy spin on the teen slasher whose genre branching narrative could be nudged in different directions depending on the choices players made – with their actions determining who lived and who died , even what sort of threat they might be facing.
Supermassive later returned to the well with its similarly styled Dark Pictures Anthology series, but Until Dawn is still regarded as a high point for the studio, so it's nice to see it get a bit of a refresh – or “rebuilt and enhanced” as Sony is putting it – for a new generation of players.
Sony hasn't yet detailed the specific improvements coming in this new version of Until Dawn – which is being handled by Ballistic Moon – but hopefully it won't be long before we hear more.
Official confirmation Until Dawn is making its way to PlayStation 5 and PC follows word the game is joining the ever-growing list of first-party PlayStation titles getting the live-action movie treatment – with the writer and director of 2017 horror hit Annabelle: Creation having signed up to adapt Supermassive's horror game for the big screen.
