Until Dawn 2 is still not official: Sony has not confirmed the sequel

Sony didn’t announce Until Dawn 2 at the recent PlayStation State of Play, despite posts online claiming PlayStation had locked in a sequel for January.

As of now, there’s still no official reveal, no release date, no trailer, no platform list, and no confirmed developer. The reports going around, including a supposed January 28, 2027 launch, a ghost-hunter plot set on a tropical island, and Firesprite as the studio behind it, haven’t been backed up by Sony, PlayStation Studios, or any official PlayStation channel.

So if you’re waiting for a proper sequel, this still doesn’t count as news.

What Sony has actually confirmed is the Until Dawn remake, which released for PlayStation 5 and PC on October 4, 2024. According to Sony, Ballistic Moon rebuilt Until Dawn in Unreal Engine 5 with some staff from the 2015 original involved. The core story stayed in place, but the remake added a third-person camera, stronger visuals, new lighting and environmental detail, a score by Mark Korven, reworked narrative beats, and a new prologue centered on the Washington family, while keeping the original voice performances.

In other words, the remake feels closer to a careful rebuild than a major overhaul.

That version is already out on PlayStation 5 and PC. Meanwhile, the broader franchise is still moving through Until Dawn: Rush of Blood, The Inpatient, The Quarry, The Dark Pictures Anthology, Supermassive Games’ The Casting of Frank Stone and Directive 8020, plus an Until Dawn film adaptation.
