Everything We Know About Until Dawn: Rush of Blood

(as of 11/4/15)

Supermassive’s newest game, Until Dawn: Rush of Blood was announced last week. I’ve been doing the research so you don’t have to. Here’s the run down:

Rush of blood is a full, stand alone game set in the same universe as Until Dawn. It’s not dlc and not a sequel.

“It’s very much set in that world and that universe, but it’s a completely separate game… This game charts the descent into madness of one of the characters from the Until Dawn universe. As they play through, fans of the series will start to recognise very familiar locations, some things around the characters and other similar aspects.” -Simon Harris (Supermassive executive producer)



The game was being worked on at the same time as Until Dawn.

Rush of blood will be an on rails arcade-style shooter. The entire game appears to take place on a rollercoaster/mine cart ride.

“As soon as you say ‘on-rails’ to an experienced PlayStation gamer, they say, ‘That sounds a little 80s or 90s to me.’ But the experience of a roller coaster ride allows us to provide pacing.” - Simon Harris

It’s coming out exclusively for Playstation VR.

You will not be able to play without the VR headset connected, which is expected to come out in spring 2016.



There is a 7 minute demo which reviewers have played but is not available for the public.

“You’re seeing a demo which is about seven minutes long. That’s about half of one of our levels, and there’ll be a good number of levels in the game.” - Simon Harris Watch the demo footage here or check out some gifs instead.

“The demo started with a ride in a roller coaster car and the shooting of pigs heads on stakes with two Move controllers. At one point, the game stopped and tricked me into looking round – only to confront me with a screaming ghoul. Harris said VR is going to be perfect for jump-scares.” -vg247 reviewer

Choices will play some part in the game.

“It wouldn’t be a game set in the Until Dawn world without choices” -Simon Harris
