Until Dawn Developers Reveal Why They Stopped Making a Sequel

Representatives of Supermassive Games in interview Edition DualShockers told why they decided not to create a sequel Until Dawn. The authors noted that fans had asked them many times to release a sequel, but the studio decided to go the other way. The developers want to implement the accumulated experience and existing ideas in a new project with similar game mechanics.

Supermassive Games CEO Pete Samuels said the team liked the idea of ​​creating The Dark Pictures anthology. This will allow more games like Until Dawn, but with an appeal to different subspecies of the horror genre. The executive stated, “The creation of the series is due to our interest in the project and the desire to satisfy the fans. It is better to tell stories from the perspective of different characters than to repeat every year.”

Until Dawn producer Dan McDonald talked about another problem that Supermassive Games would face when creating a sequel. In the first part, players were given complete freedom of choice and many endings. Because of this, it is almost impossible to determine the canonical ending from which to build on the continuation. And creating the second part, taking into account the choices made by each user in the previous game, is too difficult.

Supermassive Games is currently working on Man of Medan, the first part of The Dark Pictures anthology. It should be released before the end of 2019 on PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
