We’ll know more in the next two weeks, apparently
Supermassive Games’ breakouthorror gameUntil Dawnis apparently headed to PC, becoming the next previously PlayStation 4-exclusive title to make the leap as an enhanced re-release after the likes ofHorizon Zero Dawn,God of WarandThe Last of Us.
The rumour comes fromDealabs’ billbil-kun, who has a fairly decent track record for breaking news such as therebooted Mortal Kombat 1andremastered Quake 2last year.
Until Dawn set the template for Supermassive’s branching-narrative, interactive horror-movie games including theDark Pictures AnthologyandThe Quarry, similarly putting a bunch of familiar faces (Hayden Panettiere of Heroes and Scream fame appears, as well as a pre-James Bond/Freddie Mercury Rami Malek) through a slasher-film wringer where the player’s decisions - and sometimes their ability to respond to a quicktime event - can see them live or die in a variety of gnarly ways while looking into spooky goings-on. For my money, it’s still one of the best things Supermassive have done, too. While the Dark Pictures games and The Quarry have all released on PC, Until Dawn has remained a PS4 exclusive since its release almost a decade ago, being followed by a PlayStation VR-exclusive spin-off in rail-shooter Until Dawn: Rush of Blood.
We’ll apparently learn more about the PC port of Until Dawn within the next 15 days, with this report coming hot on the heels of news that the game is beingadapted into a live-action movieby the director of Annabelle: Creation, Shazam! and Lights Out. Why adapt a game that’s basically a playable movie starring actual, real-life actors into a film, you ask? We might all be able to answer that question - or not, because it’s nonsense - soon enough.
