News Fans Are Concerned Until Dawn PS4 Could Be Delisted Following PS5 Remake's Release
Not available for purchase, but almost certainly a bug
Update: While we haven’t received word back from Sony yet, it’s looking increasingly like this is a bug. Until Dawn shows as “not available for purchase” on the web store in some countries, but if you search for it on a PS5 or PS4 console, you can buy it no problem. This all suggests to...

News This Is What Until Dawn Looked Like on the PS3
Move aside
Some of you will remember, but for those who don't, Supermassive Games' schlocky horror Until Dawn was originally in development for the PlayStation 3 – and, primarily, the PlayStation Move motion controller. It was planned to be an exclusive for Sony's illuminating wand, with the gameplay built around the 3D tracking of the...

News Is an Until Dawn Sequel Unlikely Now?
Supermassive Games eyeing multiformat move
We'd always assumed, following the surprise commercial success of Until Dawn, that Sony would have signed up a sequel straight away – but it sounds like developer Supermassive Games has other plans.

News Until Dawn's Free Hallowe'en PS4 Theme Is Worth Downloading
Clock's ticking
It's been a disappointing week for Until Dawn fans. Supermassive Games announced a woeful looking rails shooter spin-off earlier in the week, while Sony's second marketing push has amounted to a new trailer and a free PlayStation 4 theme. There is, at least, one silver lining, though: the animated wallpaper is one of the better ones...

Rumour Until Dawn Goes On-Rails for PlayStation VR DLC
More like off the rails, right?
Until Dawn is one of the best games of the year because of its intentionally crumby plot and ham acting – so we're not sure how we feel about the game getting a PlayStation VR powered side story. Apparently that's exactly what Supermassive Games is working on, though, as a Destructoid tip-off has hinted that a...

News Sony Admits PS4 Exclusive Until Dawn Was a Sleeper Hit
Slasher success
There's a bit of revisionist history going on with Until Dawn at the moment. The game has been hugely successful for Sony – both critically and commercially – but with a bit more marketing there's no doubt that it could have been an even bigger success. As such, armchair analysts believe that the platform holder missed a trick...

Whether you like it or not, and despite what it says about our ever-changing industry, websites like YouTube offer a telling look into which games are hot, and which games are not.

News Japan's Censored Until Dawn's Most Grisly Scenes in the Worst Way
Fade to black
Until Dawn doesn't go totally SAW, but it does have a little fun with a saw blade at one point. Sadly, those playing the slasher in Japan will not get to see all of the gore, as the game has been censored in arguably the worst way imaginable. In the sequence involving entrails and other viscera, the Eastern version simply cuts to...

News Sony's Stopping Twitch Streamers from Archiving Until Dawn
Nightmare
We're not entirely sure how we feel about this one. A tweet by Twitch Support appears to allude to the fact that Sony has disabled archiving on Until Dawn, preventing people from replaying streams that have since concluded. This could be a simple error on the platform holder's part, but it seems like a calculated decision to stop the story...

News Scream Like You Mean It with Until Dawn's Launch Trailer
Argh
The shock success of Until Dawn appears to have taken even Sony by surprise, as it scrambles to put out trailers and prepare bundles for what's turned out one of the better exclusives on the PlayStation 4. Given the critical mauling that The Order: 1886 received, we can understand why it was sceptical of this one – but at least it can give it...

Gamescom 2015 Cause and Effect Is at the Crux of This Until Dawn Trailer
Like a butterfly
The butterfly effect is a funny thing. Earlier in the year, Sony executives sat in an office and decided to skip Gamescom 2015, blissfully unaware of the fact that we'd be subjected to a busy but still boring week. Until Dawn deals with these decisions in a different way, as you're pursued by a serial killer who looks like the star...

Gamescom 2014 Sony to Reveal How Horror Is Being Reinvented on PS4
Until we meet again
It seems like there’s still time prior to Sony’s Gamescom 2014 press conference for another one of those horror themed teaser trailers.

News Something's Coming in Sony's Second Gamescom 2014 Teaser of the Day
An axe to grind
Sony’s in full on hype mode ahead of its Gamescom 2014 press conference next week – it’s just a shame that it’s releasing some pretty poor promotional trailers to lead into the event. Alright, this one isn’t anywhere near as bad as this afternoon’s hypnotherapy session, but two teasers in one day is probably a little bit...

As suspected, a leaked GamesCom 2014 lineup last week confirmed the release for the PlayStation 4 –...
