Refreshed and content-enhanced version of the "cinematic" PS4 horror from 2015. The new version of Until Dawn expands on the story, introduces a TPP camera, as well as improves the graphics quality thanks to using Unreal Engine 5.
Until Dawn is a refreshed and content-enhanced version of the horror action-adventure game from 2015. The game was developed by the British studio Ballistic Moon and is its debut project.
Plot
Until Dawn tells the story known from the original, but the whole thing has been expanded with new story plots.
The main characters of this game are teenagers who decide to go to the mountains and spend the night away from the rest of the world. The protagonists hope that this way they will be able to deal with the trauma caused by the mysterious disappearance of their friend. Unfortunately, things quickly get out of control, as it turns out that they are not alone on Blackwood Mountain, and their stay in this place turns into a real struggle for survival.
How their fates will unfold, as well as who (or even if anyone) will manage to survive the night, depends on our actions and the choices we make.
Mechanics
At first glance Until Dawn does not differ from the original in terms of mechanics. The authors tried to introduce new features in the form of new camera angles which were not present in the original, as well as the possibility of watching the action from a third-person perspective (TPP).
During the game, we alternately take on the roles of various characters. We participate in chilling events, as well as conduct conversations and make decisions that affect the further course of the story.
Due to the fact that even seemingly small choices can have significant consequences, it is recommended to make careful decisions. Otherwise, over time, we will have to say goodbye to some characters or even all the heroes. The title allows for the possibility that no one will survive the night.
Technical aspects
Until Dawn runs on Unreal Engine 5. The authors not only refreshed the character models & locations and added new light sources, but also used a new, wider tonal palette of colors. In addition, new contextual animations appear in the game. The audio, including the soundtrack created by Mark Korven, has also been refreshed.

Game Rant: 7 / 10 by Dalton Cooper
The 2024 Until Dawn remake is a great time, but it doesn't do enough to justify its steep price tag compared to the 2015 original.

RPG Fan: 80 / 100 by Jerry Williams
Not a perfect remaster, but a worthy graphical upgrade of a fun horror romp with an enticing backstory.
