As a longtime horror enthusiast who’s spent countless nights huddled under blankets while playing survival games, I can hardly contain my excitement for the release of Until Dawn on PS5 and PC this October 4, 2024! The original game was a thrilling rollercoaster ride that kept me on the edge of my seat, and I’m eager to see how Ballistic Moon has breathed new life into it using Unreal Engine 5.

The much-anticipated remake of “Until Dawn,” initially launched by Supermassive Games on PlayStation 4 in 2015, has finally been given an official release date – October 4, 2024. This spine-tingling horror game follows the survival story of eight young adults trapped on Blackwood Mountain. Recently, during a PlayStation State of Play broadcast, Sony confirmed that the remake, developed by Ballistic Moon using Unreal Engine 5, will be available in Fall 2024.

Ballistic Moon aimed to refine the cinematic narrative of “Until Dawn” using Unreal Engine 5 for an upgrade in core graphics and visuals. Instead of re-releasing “Until Dawn” as a remastered version on PS5 and PC, they’ve completely overhauled the game, providing a fresh perspective and modernizing character models, settings, and animations for a smoother look. Unreal Engine 5 has been instrumental in revamping the lighting across the entire game to deliver a more engaging and contemporary horror experience.

On October 4, 2024, Sony has announced that they will be releasing a remake of the game “Until Dawn” for both PS5 and PC. This comes as part of an increasing number of games being released in time for the spooky season. Pre-orders for this highly anticipated title can be made starting August 21. The official PlayStation and Ballistic Moon Twitter accounts have confirmed the news, along with a new gameplay trailer for “Until Dawn”. To get fans even more excited, Sony has also shared a comparison video showing side-by-side footage of Supermassive Games’ original 2015 version of “Until Dawn” and the revamped edition by Ballistic Moon.

Until Dawn Remake Release Date

  • Ballistic Moon’s Until Dawn remake will release for the PS5 and PC on October 4, 2024.

Established in 2019, Ballistic Moon is a studio born from the collective talents of former Supermassive Games team members Duncan Kershaw, Neil McEwan, and Chris Lamb. Serving as co-founders, they are embarking on their first project – a remake of Until Dawn – which signifies Ballistic Moon’s expansion to a larger studio in 2022. Previously, Supermassive Games produced a VR spin-off titled Until Dawn: Rush of Blood and a prequel called The Inpatient. Subsequently, they collaborated with Bandai Namco Entertainment to launch the first installment of The Dark Pictures Anthology, Man of Medan, followed by Little Hope, House of Ashes, and The Devil in Me.

Ballistic Moon offers a fresh take on the horror game Until Dawn, presenting players with various camera viewpoints that immerse them deeply into the game. The creators skillfully merged the original cinematography with a revamped third-person camera to encapsulate the authenticity of contemporary slasher movies using the stunning settings and intricate characters from Until Dawn. With the enhanced flexibility of the camera, Ballistic Moon has been able to reinterpret the story of Until Dawn, highlighting crucial objects and underscoring critical moments more effectively.

Ballistic Moon has kept the initial storyline of Until Dawn intact but modified the sequence of events that initiate its branching narrative, which involves a mean-spirited prank. To enhance the characters’ development and foster a deeper connection with the Washington family, they have extended their screen time, exploring their motivations in greater depth. All original talismans from Until Dawn have been repositioned to provide players with fresh challenges. Additionally, new interactive zones have been added for unique cutscenes, dialogue, and even death scenes specific to one Until Dawn character.

As a hardcore gamer, I’m hyped about the remake of Until Dawn! Unlike the nerve-wracking “Don’t Move” mechanics from the original, which made even veterans like me break a sweat during the climactic scenes, the new version offers a more manageable option: “Stay Calm.” This feature is compatible with third-party controllers that don’t have a gyroscope, making it accessible for a wider range of players.
