Firesprite has officially announced that Until Dawn 2 will release on PlayStation 5 on January 28, 2027. The confirmation arrived during a recent PlayStation State of Play broadcast, which showcased a new trailer for the game.
The trailer highlighted the signature branching narrative that defined the original Until Dawn, teasing that player choices will have significant consequences on the fate of the characters. This announcement comes sooner than many might have anticipated for the follow-up to the popular horror franchise.
Pre-orders for Until Dawn 2 are set to begin on September 10. Those who pre-order will receive exclusive in-game content, including an "Until Dawn classic" outfit, an Akishima Island holiday outfit, and collectible Dr. Hill bobble heads discoverable within the game. A deluxe edition will also be available, featuring Y2K-inspired outfits for all characters and a "Diaramoa of Death" mode that allows players to "relive every grisly demise with vignettes exploring unique angles of each fatal outcome."
The release of Until Dawn 2 positions the PlayStation 5 for a strong start to 2027. It will be followed less than a month later by God of War Laufey. Furthermore, rumors and speculation suggest that Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet could also launch in the latter half of 2027, potentially making it one of the PlayStation 5's most significant years for game releases.
