Release date: October 4, 2024One of the best PS4 games is getting not just a simple remaster, but a totally rebuilt remake in Until Dawn. Crafted in Unreal Enging 5 for the higher-specs likes of the PS5 and the more turbo-charged gaming PCS out there, this terrifying choice-led adventure is slated to launch sometime this Fall following its announcement at a Sony State of Play in late January 2024. The original Until Dawn still stands up as one of the most thrilling, high-octane PS4 games to date, with player choice taking a front seat as every twist and turn you take seals the fate of your main characters. This is one for the Dark Pictures Anthology fans out there to add to their wishlists if you missed out on it back in 2016. Returning fans will still find plenty to love in this enhanced version, from a reworked soundscape, third-person camera angle, and brand new content to “expand upon unexplored emotional parts of the story” (via PlayStation Blog).Sign up to the GamesRadar+ Newsletter
