Sony has formally announced the upcoming release of Until Dawn for PS5 and PC later this year. Following widespread speculation, the confirmation was made at PlayStation’s recent State of Play event, putting an end to the rumors surrounding an Until Dawn remaster. With a film adaptation of Supermassive Games’ popular title already in the pipeline, there was growing curiosity about the potential accessibility of the game to coincide with the anticipated film release.

Earlier this year, the film adaptation of Until Dawn received the green light, with David F. Sandberg, known for directing horror hits like Lights Out and Annabelle: Creation, at the helm. The script is being penned by esteemed horror writers Blair Butler and Gary Dauberman, ensuring that Until Dawn is in capable hands. Given that the game features notable actors such as Rami Malek and Hayden Panettiere, fans are eager to learn whether the original cast will reprise their roles or if new stars will step into the shoes of Until Dawn’s teenage protagonists. Amidst the buzz surrounding the film, there were persistent rumors about the game's potential availability on a broader range of platforms.

The 2024 PlayStation State of Play event conclusively confirmed these speculations with the release of an announcement trailer for the remastered Until Dawn. The trailer not only affirmed the arrival of one of Sony’s finest horror games on PC and PS5 but also disclosed that the enhanced game will hit the shelves later this year. The development of this release will be undertaken not by Supermassive Games, but by the independent UK studio, Ballistic Moon.
