- Until Dawn 2 is announced for 2027
- The game is being developed by Firesprite Games instead of Supermassive Games
- The story follows a team of ghost hunters who encounter real horror on a tropical island
One more sequel Until Dawn has been announced, but the sequel to the 2015 horror classic is not 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 Mountainwhich was the team’s first game release.
“Like many of you, a bunch of us on the team are big fans of the original Until Dawnso building the sequel has been a dream come true,” Firesprite said in a PlayStation Blog post.
“Part of our mission from day one has been to honor this core DNA: character drama, tough choices, and the unforgettable moments of horror that made the first game so special.
Like the original game, Until Dawn 2 will have a group of friends, but this time they will be isolated on a tropical island. The group is a crew of ghost hunters behind the fictional show, Dead True, but few know that their videos and supernatural encounters are staged. All that changes when they encounter a real horror on the island and apparently must last until dawn to escape.

“After signing a deal with a major TV network, the crew is sent to a deserted tropical island for their first fully funded episode. At first it’s all sun, sand, secrets… plus some very not-safe-for-the-workplace drama as their complicated relationship bubbles to the surface,” Firesprite teases.
“Of course, there’s more to this beautiful island than meets the eye. Beneath this blissful exterior lie terrible and heartbreaking secrets—centuries old and vengeful… and our crew has landed right in the middle of it.
“Chasing the 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 the island claims?”
Once again, the sequel will feature difficult decisions and life-or-death consequences that will have a butterfly effect throughout the rest of the story. The trailer gives off 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 appears that Dr. Hill is back to provide some more creepy commentary.
Firesprite has confirmed that more story details and a deep dive into the Until Dawn 2‘s gameplay will be released in the coming months. The game is expected to launch in 2027.
