Sony Interactive Entertainment Until Dawn

What is Until Dawn?

Face your fears and determine who survives in this enhanced version of the horror classic.
Rebuilt from the ground up for PS5® consoles and PC, Until Dawn™ invites you to immerse yourself in a gripping slasher horror where every decision can make the difference between life and death.

When eight friends return to the isolated mountain lodge where two of their group vanished a year prior, things quickly take a sinister turn. As fear tightens its icy grip on the group, their remote retreat becomes an inescapable nightmare.

Your actions and choices will determine who survives Until Dawn in this definitive version of the seminal horror classic.

Your survival guide

Until Dawn gameplay explained
Discover the features that make Until Dawn a unique and highly replayable horror experience.

Player control
Throughout the story you will play as all eight friends. The relationships they have with the other characters and whether they survive until dawn are determined by your narrative choices.

The Butterfly Effect
Every choice you make has an impact. Your decisions, large and small, set events in motion that will decide whether characters live or die - but death is not the end, as the game adapts and changes according to the story you create. This creates a complex branching narrative with multiple possible endings.

The decision is yours
Prepare to have your morals, reflexes and quick-thinking put to the ultimate test. Make impossible choices, hold your nerve and try to make split-second decisions that could make the difference between life and death.

Your sixth Sense
Haptic feedback from the DualSense® wireless controller brings you closer to Until Dawn's world by allowing you to feel approaching footsteps and the characters' shivers, shocks and pounding heartbeats. It also aids in sensing nearby totems - special collectables that offer prophecies of potential futures.

Until Dawn upgraded

Horror, enhanced
Find out how Until Dawn for PS5 consoles improves on key aspects of the PS4® original.

Scarily good looking
Rebuilt in UNREAL® Engine 5, the power of PS5 consoles brings new life to a horror classic with realistic lighting and ray-traced shadows. Explore the eerily-lit interiors of the lodge, the oppressive darkness of the mines and moonlight-bathed mountain wilderness in stunning detail.

Filmic frights
Revised cinematography, reworked narrative elements and reframed scenes improve the look, flow and emotional impact of the story, while updated character models better convey the mental and physical states of the protagonists.

Terror from a new perspective
The fixed camera perspective of the PS4 original is replaced with a third-person camera, allowing you to explore the environments from previously unseen angles. Experience all-new character movement animations and interactions as you explore enhanced and new locations.

The sound of fear
Music and sound design has also received a complete overhaul, including reauthored audio and a brand new score from legendary horror composer Mark Korven (The First Omen, The Witch).
