PS5’s Until Dawn 2 Has Been in Development for At Least 4 Years Already
Firesprite’s highly anticipated sequel Until Dawn 2 has been in development for at least four years, with the project expected to launch in 2027 as a PlayStation 5 exclusive. The extended development timeline was revealed by Stranger Things actor Dacre Montgomery, who joined the cast in 2022, highlighting the substantial effort the UK studio has invested in the project.
The game’s premise centers around a paranormal investigation theme, featuring a ghost hunting group from a fictional paranormal YouTube channel called Dead True. While specific gameplay details remain largely under wraps, the inclusion of Montgomery and the emphasis on the show’s investigative elements suggest a narrative-driven horror experience.
The timeline aligns with Firesprite’s previous output—the studio released Horizon: Call of the Mountain in 2023, positioning Until Dawn 2 as their next major undertaking. Montgomery’s public comments underscore his enthusiasm for the project, noting the dedication of the development team who have committed years to building the game’s world and systems.
The four-year minimum development period signals a substantial production effort, with additional pre-production work likely extending the project’s overall timeline beyond this figure. The 2027 release window gives Firesprite additional time to refine and polish the title before its console debut.
