Until Dawn Remake Is Out October 4, Puts It On Collision Course With Silent Hill 2

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of chilling nights spent exploring the darkest corners of virtual reality, I can hardly contain my excitement for the remake of Until Dawn. The original game left an indelible mark on my gaming psyche, and the prospect of revisiting Blackwood Mountain in all its graphical glory is truly tantalizing.


Sony and Ballistic Moon have officially announced that the reimagined version of Until Dawn will be released on October 4 for both PS5 and PC platforms. Originally developed by Supermassive Games in 2015, this horror game follows a group of friends who find themselves stranded on Blackwood Mountain, making difficult choices as they try to survive a chilling night.

To get a clear understanding of the differences between the games, feel free to watch the video trailer provided which showcases a side-by-side comparison.

In the remake, Ballistic Moon explained that their goal wasn’t to change the game’s storyline, but rather to provide a “cinematic overhaul” and offer players a “more immersive experience” by improving visual elements. Utilizing Unreal Engine 5, Until Dawn has been updated with new character models, environments, interactive items, visual effects, and animations. Additionally, artistic tweaks have been made to heighten the horror atmosphere of the story.

Additionally, you might find the game even more intense because the developers are utilizing advanced pre-rendering methods to generate “authentic real-time fluid effects” and lifelike wounds for the characters.

Players can anticipate a significant alteration, which is an improved introduction or prologue. The developers at Ballistic Moon have fine-tuned the initial storyline flow to provide more focus on specific characters. Additionally, they’ve introduced new items called Hunger Totems for players to find. These add additional depth and information about the world in Until Dawn. Lastly, there will be various options to customize the gameplay experience with different accessibility settings.

As a lifelong horror enthusiast, I am beyond excited for the upcoming October releases of various horror-game remakes and new titles. Growing up, I spent countless nights huddled under my covers with a flashlight, immersed in the terrifying worlds of classic games like Silent Hill 2, which I’m thrilled to see making its return on October 8. The suspense and fear that these games elicit have always had a special place in my heart, and it feels like Christmas coming early this year with so many new and familiar experiences to explore.
