It looks like the new studio is shooting for very similar B-horror vibes though, only this time all the scary serial killing is going down on a tropical island rather than in an isolated wintery mansion on a mountain.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Until Dawn 2 - Choice &amp; Consequence Pre-Order Trailer | PS5 Games\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-wjhso38sAY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">As well as its novel Butterfly Effect system, which let you dictate which of the teens in the group lived or died depending on your in-game choices, the original <em>Until Dawn<\/em> was known for its star-studded Hollywood cast. That game starred the likes of Rami Malek and Hayden Panettiere, who sadly died last month, in one of her several standout video game performances.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><em>Until Dawn 2<\/em>&#8216;s cast isn&#8217;t quite so instantly recognizable, but <em>Stranger Things<\/em> fans will quickly spot Dacre Montgomery, who played Billy Hargrove in seasons two and three, with a brief cameo in the fourth season. He features heavily in the new pre-order trailer Sony also released today.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Once again, <em>Until Dawn 2<\/em> launches exclusively on PS5 on January 28.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2250420\/until-dawn-2-launches-january-28\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><br \/>\n<center\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The interactive slasher takes place on a tropical island and stars \u2018Stranger Things\u2019 actor Dacre Montgomery. &#13;&#13;&#13; &#13; Sony The sequel to 2015&#8217;s cinematic survival&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":81954,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[11736,1274,4131],"class_list":["post-81952","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tech-gadgets-reviews","tag-dawn","tag-january","tag-launches","wpcat-32-id"],"brizy_media":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81952","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=81952"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81952\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/81954"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=81952"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=81952"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=81952"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
