It was previously rumored that Firesprite Studio is currently developing a dark, narrative-driven game, with strong indications pointing towards it being a horror title. Speculations are circulating that this project could potentially be the highly anticipated Until Dawn 2, serving as a follow-up to the beloved cult classic released by Supermassive Games back in 2015.
Rumored Firesprite Studio horror game is Until Dawn 2
The swirling rumors about Until Dawn 2 being in the works at Firesprite Studio gained traction following a revelation by Xbox Era co-founder Nick “Shpeshal Nick” Baker via X (formerly Twitter). In a recent tweet, Baker expressed some frustration about not being the one to leak the information himself, but did confirm that the speculated game is indeed being developed by Firesprite Studio.
“Call me selfish, but I’m annoyed I wasn’t able to leak. I knew about this,” Baker shared in his tweet. “But here’s some more info I heard about this sequel. Apparently, it’s Firesprite making it.”

Back in 2022, whispers started surfacing about Firesprite Studio’s venture into the horror genre. Clues were discovered through job postings and employee CVs, indicating that the studio was hard at work on a AAA game that heavily emphasized art, animation, and delivering unique character performances to enhance player immersion. The descriptions also hinted at a groundbreaking approach to atmosphere, storytelling, player agency, and narrative on next-gen hardware – all aligning well with what fans would expect from an Until Dawn 2.
As with any leak or rumor, it’s essential to approach it with caution. While Baker’s track record isn’t flawless, he has proven to be accurate in the past – such as with insider details about the Ghost of Tsushima PC port. He also teased the development of a new Batman game by Rocksteady. Ultimately, the confirmation of who is behind Until Dawn 2 will only come with an official announcement, if one materializes.
Although Until Dawn 2 may still be a distant prospect, fans can look forward to the imminent arrival of the Until Dawn remake. The remake is set to launch tomorrow, on October 4, 2024, for PS5 and PC.
