Well, if you’ve been waiting for a launch date on the highly anticipated Until Dawn Remake, I have good news for you. The official PlayStation Twitter/X account announced today that it has a release date, and that’s not all.
Not only will Until Dawn be dropping on October the 4th on PlayStation 5, but it is coming to PC the very same day, which personally as a PC player I’m excited to see.
Being a remake we are seeing a ton of improvements from the original game. You can see the full list in detail on the PlayStation blog but some of those improvements include:
- Updated character models, environments, interactable props, visual effects, and animations, all designed to maximize the Until Dawn experience on both PS5 and PC using Unreal Engine 5
- Complete overhaul of the lighting to take advantage of Unreal Engine 5's rendering features, including raytracing and enhanced materials, focusing on a more atmospheric and "modern horror" experience
- Reworked Prologue to feature the Washingtons more
- New collectibles as well as relocating the original collectibles
- New accessibility and usability settings that will help more players enjoy the game.
- A new optional alternative for the Don't Move mechanic called Stay Calm. Stay Calm is for third party peripherals that do not feature a gyroscope or for players who prefer a different challenge.
The original Until Dawn launched on the PlayStation 4 on August 25th, 2015 and received good reviews, scoring a 79 on metacritic. For those unaware, the original was actually planned for the PlayStation 3. According to the Games Wiki page, it was originally supposed to be a Playstation move game but support for that was dropped when it was moved to the PlayStation 4.
The developers also dropped a comparison video to see all the changes and upgrades which you can see below:
