PlayStation Reveals Until Dawn 2 From Firesprite at State of Play
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
Firesprite is taking over development for Until Dawn 2, heading to a tropical setting with a ghost hunting premise for its 2027 PS5 release.
Sony used the latest State of Play showcase to officially announce Until Dawn 2, shifting development duties to first-party studio Firesprite. Scheduled to launch for PlayStation 5 in 2027, the sequel trades the freezing mountain cabins of the original cult classic for a sun-drenched tropical setting. Early footage indicates that the narrative will focus on a new cast of characters working as ghost hunters, offering a fresh dynamic for the cinematic horror franchise.
While Supermassive Games handled the 2015 original and the recent cinematic updates, Firesprite is taking the reins for this follow-up. The studio brings serious pedigree to the project, and the initial trailer hints at another star-studded cast navigating high stakes choices where survival is never guaranteed. The transition to a tropical environment suggests the team is looking to subvert traditional slasher tropes while keeping the core branching narrative mechanics that fans expect.
As the cinematic horror space continues to thrive on streaming platforms and community-driven playthroughs, a major sequel like this arrives with plenty of room for interactive audience moments. Content creators and community groups will undoubtedly turn the new tropical setting and ghost hunting premise into the next big co-op viewing experience.
