Once a bloody and horrifying PS4 exclusive, Until Dawn is finally making the next-gen leap onto the PS5 and PC on Oct. 4 with a laundry list of updates.
According to PlayStation.Blog, the remake will reportedly not "alter the events of that fateful night," but only improve its mechanics and cinematics with Unreal Engine 5's ray-tracing, rendering, and general graphical power over the original's engine.
Returning players are in for a treat with new collectibles, totems, an overhauled prologue, improved motion capture, sound design, and modern camera controls.
In other words, everything will look and sound prettier as you somehow fail to protect every character.
The original game was a testament to the PS4's technical prowess, even incorporating the controller's ability to detect slight movements into the "Don't Move" mechanic, where a twitch could mean life or death.
The remake features a teased alternative "Stay Calm" feature that uses "third party peripherals that do not feature a gyroscope or for players who prefer a different challenge."
With Until Dawn joining the long line of PlayStation exclusives making their way to PC, this release highlights a growing trend that few would have believed possible...
