Sony Pictures announced in January that a film based on the video game Until Dawn was in development. Lights Out and Shazam! director David F. Sandberg was tasked with directing the Until Dawn movie.

Until Dawn was a 2015 horror game for the PS4 developed by Supermassive Games set in a remote snowy mountain, it had players control eight friends who must survive the night after they realize they are not alone.

Though Until Dawn was not Supermassive’s first project, it was the project that helped establish Supermassive Games as a studio known for crafting narrative-driven, choose-your-own-adventure horror games. Despite Until Dawn never getting a proper sequel, the series did spawn two PSVR spinoff games, and in 2022, Supermassive Games released The Quarry, a spiritual successor to Until Dawn. In addition, UK studio Ballistic Moon is working on a remaster of Until Dawn, which is slated to release sometime this fall for PS5 and PC.
