The Until Dawn remake looks to be setting up a franchise

Sequel, anyone?

Sony’s upcoming Until Dawn remake looks to be setting itself up for a sequel, if leaked new footage from the title can be believed.

The following contains spoilers, so read on only if you wish!

According to the leaked new footage, Until Dawn features not only a reworked prologue, but new endings that focus on Rami Malek’s Josh and Hayden Panettiere’s Sam. Whereas Josh could survive to the end of the original game, he was trapped underground and destined to become a wendigo. In this new remake, an alternate ending sees Josh recovering from his experience, even going so far as to reintroduce a voiceover from Peter Stormare’s Dr. Hill.

Another new epilogue, set years after the events of Until Dawn, shows Sam studying mythical creatures and tending to a wound that won’t heal — a wendigo bite, perhaps?

Until Dawn as a new Sony franchise makes sense — a live action film is current in development, and Sony studio Firesprite is hard at work on an unnamed “AAA narrative driven horror-adventure game in Unreal [Engine] 5”, complete with an employee stating the title was “an “unannounced branching horror-adventure game” based on a “pre-established IP”.

Expect the Until Dawn remake from today, 4 October, on Windows PC and PS5.
