After the announcement of Until Dawn 2, many assumed that the game would be a standalone story, only partially connected to the first part. New characters, content creators from the Dead True channel, will travel to Akishima Island in search of a real paranormal nightmare.
However, a fresh trailer from September's State of Play showed a closer connection to the events of 2015. The game will be released on January 28, 2027. The characters will go to the abandoned Blackwood Sanatorium to film material about the tragedy that occurred there 12 years ago.
It was here in the original that the story of the wendigo and the deceased miners was revealed. The sanatorium was also the main setting for The Inpatient.
Peter Stormare's return as Dr. Hill has also been confirmed. In the first part, the psychotherapist appeared between chapters during surreal sessions. It is not yet known what role he will play in the new plot.
