Despite being one of the most appreciated games in the first half of the PS4 lifecycle, Until Dawn is not being considered for a sequel, and that’s quite weird if you think how much fans have been demanding one.
Supermassive Games and Sony have since then expanded upon that universe by releasing two titles for PlayStation VR connected the IP, and especially The Inpatient was a prequel to that story.
Anyway, it doesn’t look like there will ever be an Until Dawn 2, at least if everything goes by what CEO and executive producer Pete Samuels told Game Informer in a recent interview.
“After Until Dawn, [many] started to request a sequel, and it still happens today, so we know there is a fanbase that likes this kind of thing,” Samuels said.
“A lot of [creating the anthology] is about our desire to serve that fanbase from our perspective and to serve us ourselves in what we love to do, which is do more stories and characters, and do it more frequently than one or two every few years.”
Series producer Dan McDonald added that “If we were making sequels, we don’t know who survived,” and that could be one issue. Back in the days we even offered you a guide about how to save a specific character or let them die.
“I mean we could probably work it out from your game save, but we don’t want to make a sequel to that. We want to make a different story with different people.”
Interestingly, Supermassive Games is working on The Dark Pictures Anthology, with the first chapter called Man of Medan releasing this summer; it’s coming for PC, PS4 and Xbox One, and it will probably be a good answer to those demanding Until Dawn 2.
