Developer Ballistic Moon, in collaboration with Sony Interactive Entertainment, has announced the release date for the Until Dawn Remake. Fans of the star-studded horror game will soon be able to experience the revamped version.
When is the Until Dawn Remake Set to Release?
The Until Dawn Remake is scheduled to launch on October 4, 2024, for both PS5 and PC. The announcement is accompanied by a new trailer that compares the visuals of the original game with those of the remake.
Neil McEwan, Creative Director at Ballistic Moon, stated on the PlayStation Blog, “As enthusiasts of Until Dawn and horror genre fans, we aimed to maintain the original story while giving it a cinematic makeover. Our focus has been on enriching the visual storytelling to create a more immersive and personal experience for players.”
As seen in the trailer, much of the changes are visual to make the game feel more cinematic. Rebuilt using Unreal Engine 5, the Until Dawn Remake gets a visual overhaul that improve every graphical facet of the game.
Although Ballistic Moon’s intent was to remain faithful to the original release, a few changes have been made to modernize the experience, namely a new third-person camera control mechanic. New collectibles have been added in the form of Hunger totems, which will bring new visions to the game. New interactions have also been added to add context and detail to the world.
Developed by Supermassive Games, Until Dawn originally released back in 2015 as a PS4 exclusive. It stars Rami Malek, Hayden Panettiere, Noah Fleiss, Galadriel Stineman, Nichole Sakura, Jordan Fisher, Brett Dalton, Meaghan Martin, and Peter Stormare.
Many of the game’s stars have gone on to do some big projects since Until Dawn released in 2015. For example, Rami Malek went on to star in the Emmy award winning show Mr. Robot. He then starred as Freddy Mercury in the Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody where he won the Academy Award for Best Actor. He’s also starred in films such as No Time to Die (2021) and Oppenheimer (2023).
The Until Dawn Remake preorders begin on August 21, 2024. A PlayStation Network account is required for PC players.
