Attentive viewers noticed a clue related to the new game in one of the film's scenes. Although the cinematic universe is noticeably different from the original game, it was there that the first hint of a sequel was hidden.
If the first Until Dawn told the story of a group of friends in a mountain cabin, the film was built around a time loop. In one episode, viewers could see a newspaper article that directly indicated the setting of Until Dawn 2. The headline reported a tragedy in a tropical paradise, and the article described a bloody massacre and the closure of a hotel on an island in the western Pacific Ocean.
After the film's release, almost no one noticed this element, considering it a mere prop. But now it aligns with the officially revealed details of the sequel.
According to the announcement, the events of Until Dawn 2 will unfold on the abandoned tropical island of Akishima. The main characters will be the team behind the YouTube channel Dead True, who film staged ghost-hunting videos. The trip will quickly turn into a struggle for survival against monsters and internal conflicts within the group.
