Until Dawn Players Are Split on Change to Remake Death Scene

Key Takeaways

  • The Until Dawn Remake completely alters a particular death scene involving Chris and Ashley.
  • While some fans agree that the scene is very emotional and dynamic, others wish they had the option to switch between the original scene and the scene found in the remake.
  • Rumors of an Until Dawn sequel continue to swirl.

As a seasoned gamer with decades of experience under my belt, I must admit that the changes made to Until Dawn’s remake have left me scratching my head. Don’t get me wrong – I appreciate fresh takes and modernizing classics, but tinkering with a death scene as iconic as Chris’ demise feels like tampering with hallowed ground.


In the reboot of the game Until Dawn, an alteration to a death scene featuring characters Ashley and Chris has sparked intense debate among fans. Some appreciate the fresh take on this scene, while others argue that it significantly alters a key aspect of Until Dawn.

In 2015, “Until Dawn” was a chilling horror game developed by Supermassive Games, known for their work on “The Dark Pictures Anthology.” The narrative revolves around eight individuals who find themselves stranded on Blackwood Mountain, waiting for the break of dawn. As the night unfolds, players are tasked with making choices that shape the storyline and the dynamics between characters. Notable actors like Rami Malek and Hayden Panettiere, portraying Josh Washington and Sam Giddings respectively, lend their talents to this game. However, dedicated fans have spotted some differences from the initial “Until Dawn” version.

Reddit user WisteriaWillotheWisp shared their thoughts on the new approach to killing Chris in the remake of Until Dawn, posted on the game’s subreddit. In the original version, Chris had to choose between shooting Ashley or himself to avoid getting sliced by falling blades. However, in this updated scene, Ashley ponders whether Chris should survive instead, but ultimately fails to save him due to a brief delay in her decision-making process.

Until Dawn Remake Completely Alters Chris’s Death

The Reddit user, expressing a mix of emotions about the modifications, points out that Supermassive Games earlier hinted at Ashley’s dark side. They believe this new scene fails to capitalize on exploring Ashley’s complexity within the game ‘Until Dawn.’ It’s also mentioned that this particular scene transpires regardless of who the gun is aimed at. Numerous commenters concur that the original scene should have been maintained as an option instead of being altered entirely.

Speculation about a follow-up to the game “Until Dawn” has been sparked since its remake was unveiled. Notably, Chris’ death in this version is different, and other adjustments include additional epilogues that seem to hint at further development of Josh and Sam’s narratives. The original game appeared to close off any possibilities for a sequel, but it seems Sony and developer Supermassive Games have discovered a means to extend the series. We can only hope that more details about this rumored sequel will surface in the near future, clarifying whether it will be a true sequel or a spin-off like “Until Dawn: Rush of Blood”.
