PlayStation and Firesprite have released a new trailer for Until Dawn 2, which confirms that it will release on January 28 for PlayStation 5. Pre-orders will go live on September 10.
According to the PlayStation Blog, AdHoc Games, developers of Dispatch, will assist in the game’s development. Their collaboration means that players can “expect a deeply layered story packed with rich characters, razor-sharp dialogue, fraught relationships, tough decisions, and yes… more than a few gruesome deaths. Every choice, every interaction can ripple with dramatic consequences.”
The Blog further outlines the upcoming game:
You’ll see the Dead True crew investigating Blackwood Sanitorium, shooting an episode about the tragic events that unfolded 12 years ago. Izzy (Sarah Catherine Hook), the team’s new intern, uncovers something she never expected, before upending their plans in chilling fashion.
Later, at HorrorCon in Sydney, they meet Yoona (Gia Kim), a survivor of a terrifying supernatural attack—she pulls down her collar to reveal a dark, necrotic scar. Her warning sets the cast on a journey to a remote South Pacific island, abandoned since a luxury resort’s mysterious shutdown in the ’70s. But this island hides secrets, centuries old and hungry for vengeance. And Dead True are walking right into it.
It’s your choices that will shape each outcome. In the trailer, Owen (Dacre Montgomery) – Dead True’s cocky star – faces a crossroads: should he follow the signal to help his missing friend Nate (Spence Moore II), or take a detour across a rickety bridge to investigate a strangely lively bar? Could leaving Nate’s path lead to important clues that might help? Or does leaving Nate make him vulnerable to whatever it is that lurks in the shadows?
Meanwhile, Mina (Camila Senna), Dead True’s conflicted co-host, faces a gut-wrenching demand: the network wants a ritual sacrifice – live, on camera. Will you give in and sacrifice the chicken to please the bosses, or set it free and risk your own blood for the ritual instead.
Those who pre-order will get an Until Dawn classic outfit, Akishima Island holiday outfit, and Dr. Hill collector’s bobbleheads to discover in-game. A digital deluxe edition will also feature the Y2K Neon Vibes Pack, which dresses all 8 members of Dead True – Owen, Mina, Nate, Reagan, Izzy, Luke, Josie, and Cameron – in vibrant neon costumes. It also includes the Diorama of Death, where you can relive every grisly demise with vignettes exploring unique angles of each fatal outcome.
