Get ready for some scares as Until Dawn is launching for the PS5 and PC on October 4, just a few weeks before Halloween. This Until Dawn remaster release date gives us enough time to gather your friends, microwave the popcorn, and enjoy the 2015 adventure all over again or for the first time.
Until Dawn has been rebuilt for the PS5 and PC (via Steam) with this release as it’s been developed in Unreal Engine 5 like the upcoming Halloween game. PlayStation touts on its Blog it has “updated character models, environments, interactable props, visual effects, and animations, all designed to maximize the Until Dawn experience on both PS5 and PC.”
Other visual effects include more realistic real-time fluids. This is so “you can see all the gory glory” in everyone’s updated character deaths. There’s also an injury mask system that shows the cuts, bruises, tears (and there will be plenty of them), snow, and water on this game’s victims.
In addition, the game will support raytracing and enhanced materials to give you a chilling experience on either platform. If you haven’t played Until Dawn before, this is a cinematic game that is deeply affected by your actions in-game with a mechanic called the Butterfly Effect.
All of your characters can die, and the game will end. The whole cast could indeed live, but you’ll need to pick the right narrative choices and succeed with your button presses. Our review gave the game a decent 7/10 score, despite high acclaim from its audience. “It allows for some predictable plotlines, hammy acting, and lack of meaningful choices, but I’m glad that it exists, and every horror fan owes it to themselves to play it at some point — especially at a price cut,” it said.
