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 first-person expansion, tentatively titled Rush of Blood, is in the works.
According to the site's unnamed source, this will see you riding a minecart through the release's desolate setting, blasting all kinds of enemies that get in your way. It sounds awful and we were ready to mark it down as a hoax, but speaking about PlayStation VR in an interview with PlayStation Lifestyle recently, executive producer Pete Samuels may have already spilled the beans.
"PlayStation VR cropped up in conversation a few times during development, but, no, we don't expect that there'll be an edition of the Until Dawn story playable in VR any time soon," he told the website. "Not unless somebody has a sudden rush of blood!" That comment's surely not a coincidence, right? Absolutely gross.
We know that Supermassive Games is one of the studios working on PlayStation VR, so it's possible that this is just some kind of tech demo. Personally, we think that it would be a mistake attaching the Until Dawn name to something like this, as the brand clearly has potential moving forwards – it just needs to be handled in the right way. This is not the right way.

... I'm thinking the old Sega game Rail Chase... but how will this work?
This sounds like the worst idea I've ever heard. Hopefully you play as the killer as you just gun down really, really stupid and annoying teenagers with little to no resistance. Sounds like a solid 3/10.
So does this kinda mean House of the Dead VR? Hate to say this but...I think I might not entirely hate that idea.
@fullyilly It's a logical idea, but why shoe-horn it into Until Dawn? This is not the kind of thing that made that game great.
Idk how to feel right now...
@get2sammyb I probably should have added the caveat that I've never played Until Dawn so my comments don't hold much weight I just saw horror, rails shooter and VR, and after playing some VR a few weeks ago, I cant wait to playing anything VR based in my living room tbh ha haaa.
It sounds like a tech demo kind of thing, but why make that DLC? How do you explain paying for a tech demo? It just sounds weird.
Lol first of all they charge £55 for a game that can be finished in a day and now they want you to pay for the demo, some mug will pay it.
They should be aiming for silent hills or spin off FPS Horror version of The Last Of Us, obviously new characters, maybe. Also think tearaway unfolded would have been better launched as a VR title
@Neolit I feel they can put in a vr experience in Until Dawn - see exactly happened to the miners, in this case Billy, and see first hand the crap he went through down in the shafts to the crazy experiments in the asylum...
...not some mine cart ride blasting out of the sky.
