Lo, a reimagining of Supermassive Games’ magnum opus, "Until Dawn," hath been unleashed unto the world for PlayStation and PC, grandly gracing our screens this past Friday. Those valiant souls who did conquer this game o’er the weekend, myself included, have unearthed post-credit scenes that doth tantalizingly hint at a sequel.
Spoilers for "Until Dawn" to Follow
‘Twas in the climax of the original PS4 tale where Rami Malek’s character, Josh, did meet his fate, either by the grim hand of death or by becoming a Windego, a fate determined by the player’s choices. Meanwhile, characters such as Hayden Panettiere’s stalwart Sam may yet survive, should players prove cunning enough to outwit the malevolent Windegos. The PS5 remake of "Until Dawn" doth expand upon these endings through two post-credit scenes that manifest depending on the choices of the player. Behold, you may witness them below.
If players doth show contrition as Josh in an erstwhile exchange of dialogue and he doth indeed survive, a fresh post-credit scene doth reveal his survival, with Dr. Hill’s voice echoing within his mind, expressing hope for Josh to find redemption. Should Sam also emerge from the harrowing events unscathed, a more elaborate post-credit scene unfolds, replete with new motion capture and dialogue from the fair Panettiere. Set in Los Angeles several years hence, it shows Sam seeking solace in medication to quell the traumatic echoes of "Until Dawn." Yet, as she awakens to find a bleeding scar upon her arm, she perceives a disturbance at her door, a voice calling her name into the still night.
This portent is not akin to the veiled demise of "I Know What You Did Last Summer," but instead, it portends a continuation of Sam’s tale in some form. While Sony hath not yet proclaimed a sequel to "Until Dawn," these scenes doth strongly suggest one is indeed imminent, with the potential return of Panettiere and Malek. Nay, it should not surprise, for a cinematic adaptation of "Until Dawn" is poised to grace the silver screen anon.
The resurrection of "Until Dawn," in its new guise, doth beckon to all who dare to brave its chilling embrace, awaiting now upon the hallowed realms of PS5 and PC.
