Sony Announces Until Dawn 2 for PS5, Release Set for 2027

Sony and developer Firesprite Games have announced Until Dawn 2, a direct sequel to the 2015 narrative horror game. The title was revealed during a recent PlayStation State of Play presentation and is scheduled for release exclusively on PlayStation 5 in 2027.

The game shifts the setting from the original’s snowy mountain lodge to a remote tropical island. Players will guide a new cast of characters, described as a crew of ghost hunters who run a popular paranormal channel called Dead True. A central plot point is that the team has built its reputation on staged supernatural encounters but has never faced a real haunting. Their pursuit of a new viral hit leads them to accept a television deal that takes them to an island reportedly tied to a chilling local legend.

Upon arrival, the fabricated horror quickly gives way to genuine terror as the island’s dark story begins to manifest around them. The official synopsis states the characters must now live up to their reputation to survive until dawn. The reveal trailer concluded with the slogan “Everyone can live, Everyone can die,” emphasizing the return of the franchise’s core choice-driven mechanics.
