Top 5 things you need to know about 'Until Dawn 2' after the massive E3 leak
- A credible insider has confirmed the survival horror sequel is in active development for PS5 and PC, with a full reveal reportedly scheduled for next month's State of Play event.
- The leaked script suggests 'Until Dawn 2' will feature an entirely new cast of eight characters, but will return to the original Blackwood Mountain setting, 10 years after the 2015 game's events.
- Players can expect a major gameplay shift: the 'Butterfly Effect' system is being upgraded with real-time AI that alters the environment and enemy placements based on your past choices, not just dialogue.
- A surprise leak from a motion-capture studio hints at a returning character from the first game—potentially the now-famous 'Stranger'—who will serve as a new antagonist with ties to the Wendigo lore.
- The source code suggests a new 'Permadeath Plus' mode, where dead characters can narrate flashbacks as spectral guides, a mechanic unique to the sequel and not featured in 'The Quarry' or 'Dark Pictures' games.
