Until Dawn 2 Confirmed for January 28, 2027 on PS5

Sony has officially confirmed that Until Dawn 2, the sequel to the 2015 cult horror game, will be released on January 28, 2027, exclusively for the PlayStation 5. The announcement was made during a State of Play showcase on September 3, 2026, accompanied by a new trailer that provided the first substantial look at the game's story and setting. The sequel shifts the action from the snowy mountains of the original to a sun-kissed, tropical locale. It follows the cast of "Dead True," a successful ghost-hunting YouTube show, as they chase their next viral hit. Their investigation begins at the Blackwood Sanatorium, a location familiar to fans of the first game, where they cover tragic events from 12 years prior. This investigation takes a chilling turn, leading to an encounter with a supernatural survivor named Yuna. Her warning sends the team to Akishima Island, a remote South Pacific paradise abandoned for decades and hiding dark secrets. The trailer highlighted the series' signature choice-based gameplay, presenting players with difficult decisions that will determine the fate of the characters.
