With Ballistic Moon’s Until Dawn remake arriving for PS5 and PC on October 4th, reports have begun swirling about a potential sequel. Due to the title leaking before its worldwide launch, players glimpsed new scenes that hint at a follow-up. Wishful thinking? Perhaps not, according to Xbox Era’s Nick Baker.
On Twitter, Baker said he was “annoyed” at not being able to leak his knowledge of the sequel. He noted that Firesprite, which worked on Horizon Call of the Mountain for PlayStation VR2, is “apparently” working on it.
It may seem out of left field but after PlayStation acquired Firesprite in 2021, a job listing emerged in 2022 for a narrative lead on a “triple-A narrative-driven horror-adventure game.” The description fits Until Dawn to a tee. Of course, it’s anyone’s guess on when it could launch.
Earlier this year, Firesprite suffered layoffs like other first-party PlayStation studios. Reports also alleged toxic work culture following Sony’s restructuring with reports of sexual discrimination, crunch on Horizon Call of the Mountain, and more. If Until Dawn 2 really is in development at the studio, it remains to be seen if these factors will affect it. Stay tuned for updates in the meantime.
