What’s old is new again, as psychological horror game Until Dawn is getting a remaster from Ballistic Moon for Sony on the PS5 and PC. It is coming in 2024.
Sony showed off an extended trailer of the game at its State of Play event, showcasing PS5-quality scenes from the 2015 game that debuted on the PS4.
The game features many of the same characters, although it’s unclear whether the original voice actors will reprise their roles. Until Dawn was my favorite game of 2015, and it was remarkable for how it combined Hollywood and gaming.
Such collaborations have historically resulted in underwhelming outcomes, but in 2015, the collaborators at Supermassive Games and horror film writers and directors Larry Fessenden and Graham Reznick took their time to craft an ingenious and intricate story, making full use of the next-generation console’s ability to create realistic human characters that resembled those in a horror movie.

The result of over four years of work is a riveting, scary game that gives players a chance to save the characters from making all-too-familiar mistakes in horror movies.
The interactive story provides a more immersive and emotional experience. The game mechanics offer binary choices, quick button presses, and a compelling twist in the form of the “Butterfly Effect,” where small decisions can have significant consequences. The remastered game’s release in 2024 is highly anticipated.
