A spruced-up version of the 2015 game - which set the formula for Supermassive’s effective mix of choose-your-own-death branching stories, uncanny facial tech and cameos from Hollywood actors later repeated in theDark Pictures AnthologyandThe Quarry- wasreported to be on the way to PCthis time last week.
An announcement trailer revealed during Sony’s State of Play showcase today confirmed the report, with UK studio Ballistic Moon working on a remastered Until Dawn said to be “rebuilt and enhanced” from the original.
The brief snippets of footage seen during the trailer certainly look nice, but don’t really give a proper idea of how far those enhancements might go. Until Dawn looked sharp at the time, with its wobbly framerate being the main downside - almost a decade on, you’d hope that might be smoothed out in this upcoming release.

The Until Dawn remaster will release for PC later in 2024 - you’d expect it might be out before Halloween - ahead of theplanned film adaptationof what is basically a playable horror movie anyway. From experience, it’s still packed with effective scares and well worth playing if you haven’t had the chance yet.
