Dispatch developer AdHoc is working on Until Dawn 2

PlayStation and Firesprite’s Until Dawn 2 will release on January 28, 2027, and is being co-developed with Dispatch’s AdHoc, it’s been revealed.

AdHoc Studio is the American developer behind last year’s critically acclaimed Dispatch, which won three Games BAFTAs, formed by veterans of TellTale Games.

“We’ve partnered with our friends at AdHoc Studio – the brilliant minds behind the acclaimed Dispatch,” wrote creative director Stu Tilley.

“So you can expect a deeply layered story packed with rich characters, razor-sharp dialogue, fraught relationships, tough decisions, and yes… more than a few gruesome deaths. Every choice, every interaction can ripple with dramatic consequences.”

During a State of Play livestream, PlayStation debuted a new look at Until Dawn 2, which follows a group of ghost-hunting YouTubers, ‘Dead True’, as they investigate Blackwood Sanitorium and shoot an episode about the tragic events that unfolded 12 years ago.

“In the trailer, Owen (Dacre Montgomery) – Dead True’s cocky star – faces a crossroads: should he follow the signal to help his missing friend Nate (Spence Moore II), or take a detour across a rickety bridge to investigate a strangely lively bar?

“Could leaving Nate’s path lead to important clues that might help? Or does leaving Nate make him vulnerable to whatever it is that lurks in the shadows?

“Meanwhile, Mina (Camila Senna), Dead True’s conflicted co-host, faces a gut-wrenching demand: the network wants a ritual sacrifice – live, on camera. Will you give in and sacrifice the chicken to please the bosses, or set it free and risk your own blood for the ritual instead.”
