Of all the games I did not expect among everything announced at June 2026's State of Play showcase, Until Dawn 2 was perhaps furthest from my imagination. More intriguing still is the fact that it's not being handled by the original developer, but a brand new one.
Supermassive Games' 2015 cinematic epic still stands out as one of the best horror games ever made, but with a Rotten Tomato-voted movie adaptation and a similarly mixed response to Ballistic Moon's 2024 remake, I assumed the IP would accept its fate and slink back into the shadows. But Until Dawn 2 is on the way from a different British dev team – Liverpool-based Firesprite – and that one announcement trailer has given me confidence that the upcoming horror game is about to fill the boogeyman-shaped hole Supermassive left behind.
