Until Dawn 2 Heads to Sandy Beaches on PS5 in PlayStation State of Play Reveal Trailer
Firesprite’s sequel brings back the Butterfly Effect mechanic and Peter Stormare as Dr. Hill, with Sony saying the cast can live or die.
First-Party PlayStation developer Firesprite revealed Until Dawn 2 during the State of Play June 2026 showcase, announcing plans to launch the narrative horror adventure for PS5 in 2027.
While Supermassive Games created the original Until Dawn 11 years ago for PS4, the UK-based studio Firesprite is helming this sequel, marking its first new game release in four years.
The story follows a crew of ghost hunter influencers from the "wildly popular paranormal channel, Dead True," who explore the remote, abandoned Akashina Island for a viral video.
Actor Peter Stormare returns as the enigmatic Dr. Hill, while the sequel maintains the "Butterfly Effect" mechanic where decisions dictate whether "everyone can live" or "everyone can die."
Firesprite told fans to expect more details regarding the game's story, cast, and gameplay in the coming months, as Sony describes the title as a modern horror experience.
