Until Dawn reborn: PC and PS5 get enhanced version

Jan 31, 2024 10:36 PM

Exciting news for horror game fans as Supermassive Games' hit title Until Dawn is set to be remastered for PC and PS5, announced during the latest State of Play. The highly acclaimed interactive horror experience that garnered a strong following upon its initial release on PlayStation 4 back in 2015, will be arriving with enhancements suitable for the latest gaming systems. Until Dawn sets players on a chilling adventure, where they guide a group of teenagers trapped in a remote cabin in the woods, with their decisions shaping the story and the survival of the characters.

A pioneer in the interactive horror genre, Until Dawn's success led to similar narrative-driven games like the Dark Pictures Anthology and The Quarry. Horror enthusiasts and new players alike now have the perfect opportunity to experience or re-experience the game that started it all. This remastered version promises to leverage the advanced capabilities of modern hardware to provide an even more immersive and terrifying adventure.

What are the key features of the Until Dawn remastered version?

The remastered version of Until Dawn will feature enhanced graphics and performance optimizations to take advantage of the PC and PS5's capabilities, providing players with an upgraded visual and gameplay experience of the interactive horror classic.

In Until Dawn, players encounter a story that pays homage to classic horror tropes - a secluded cabin, a group of friends, and a menacing threat lurking in the shadows. With a gameplay structure that revolves around choice and consequence, each decision made by the player could mean life or death for the characters involved. Leveraging the 'Butterfly Effect' mechanic, the game ensures that no two playthroughs are the same, giving rise to multiple endings based on the actions taken.

Until Dawn was a critical and commercial success upon its original release, praised for its storytelling, branching narrative, and production values. The game played a significant role in popularizing the genre of narrative-heavy horror games, combining cinematic gameplay with player choice. The upcoming remaster not only offers fans a chance to relive the suspenseful experience but also introduces it to a new generation of players on the latest gaming platforms. For those who thrive on heart-pounding moments and enjoy steering the fates of the characters they play, the remastered Until Dawn will likely be a must-play.
