Note: This story contains spoilers for Until Dawn.
Sony and developer Ballistic Moon are on the cusp of releasing a PS5 and PC remake of Until Dawn, the beloved horror adventure game. However, some received their copies early, and the result is some leaked information being shared around online.
One clip, currently still up on Until Dawn's subreddit, pertains to a new ending sequence for the remake. The footage features brand new scenes that may hint towards a sequel.
Two post-credits scenes can be seen, each one focusing on a key character from the group of teens. The first shines a spotlight on Rami Malek's Josh. In the original game, if he lives to the end, he's seen to have transformed into a Wendigo monster. However, in this new scene, he's revealed to still be human (though trapped in the mines).
The second scene concerns Sam, played by Hayden Panettiere. Years after the events of Until Dawn, she wakes to an early alarm in Los Angeles. It's revealed she's on heavy medication, likely related to PTSD. This is reinforced by a mysterious wound on her arm and a creepy voice calling her name, which could be hallucinations.
These teasers are being interpreted by fans as hints that a sequel is on the way.
An Until Dawn movie is currently in production, so it's possible that Sony is doubling down on the series; a remake, a film, and a sequel would be quite the combo.
This leaked clip isn't confirmation of a sequel, of course, though we can understand why some are convinced it's happening. Some are speculating that developer Firesprite's horror title may in fact be Until Dawn 2.

You shouldn't put that in the headline. The game isn't even out yet and you're spoiling the new ending for your readers. I have no issues with article, but there's no way to avoid reading the headline. Poor practice.
Didn't read the news but well, it is a reason to buy Until Dawn Remake.
Honestly I'm curious to see how well it runs first, because the OG wasn't the best game when it comes to performance.
Was hoping they would tease a sequel. Guessing this is the horror game firesprite is working on, project heart break
Wonder when the review embargo is up?
@DarthAmmii What's a spoiler in the headline? That fact that there might be sequel? That could happen regardless of any ending. Not sure what you're on about.
Playing the PS4 version right at this moment (it's still on plus) and … it's kind of annoying. Completely a-hole characters, drawn out to no end and full of fake jump scares.
If there's a sequel planned then the remake makes more sense.
I forgot this game releases tomorrow. I’ll definitely be picking it up, and I’m interested to see how the new ending(s) could hint at a sequel.
Should still be £10 up grade, just saying....
@CielloArc until dawn runs at 60fps on ps5
@wildcat_kickz I think he's refering to them revealing theres a new ending.
I agree though, probably best to avoid spoilers like that. Could have been a nice surprise for people who already played the original.
Havent read the article btw, so maybe it isnt that bad. Didnt read it, cause i havent played it before and i might get the game
Playstation Access is about to play this game in a few minutes if anyone wants to see it in action.
I dont like that they've changed Joshs ending
I liked Until Dawn a fair bit as I do enjoy these kind of games but it really wasn't that great
I remember some players (me included) were hoping for an Until Dawn sequel back then. I'm not sure if they'd be able recapture what that original game had though. Even Supermassive has tried to ever since.
@DarthAmmii how is talking about a 9 year old game’s ending a “spoiler”. Doesn’t make any sense
@Savage_Joe This isn't an ending from a 9 year old game, it's a new ending from a remake of that game, which we wouldn't otherwise know before having played it.
It's like if Konami said before PT released "You'll wanna see this through for the secret twist ending that might hint at the future of a beloved franchise". It would have killed the enormous impact that game/reveal had.
Didn't read this, but ordered the game as soon as I heard new ending.
Hopefully they can develop the remaster in parallel with the sequel😉
@LogicStrikesAgain Fair enough. Coming from the other side of it though, I think folks should maybe steel themselves for spoilers when frequenting an enthusiast website like this one.
Plus, I think an admission that there is potentially a new ending (this is a Quantic Dream-style game, so there are many anyway) might be a nice enticement for people who already played the game to step back in.
That said, everyone's free to have an opinion on the practices of this website. I just don't really think this one's a big deal.
(when all your Playstation favourites are in the Shadow Realm and Until Dawn of all things gets a sequel)
"Why are we still here?.....just to suffer?"
