The remake featured a new soundtrack, a shift to a third-person perspective, and a post-credits scene that hinted at a possible sequel. However, this effort does not seem to have been enough to keep the studio afloat.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Until Dawn - Launch Trailer | PS5 &amp; PC Games\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8nApBGPy0ao?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>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, the study did not receive support from Sony for future work related to the Until Dawn franchise, which has further limited its development capacity. <strong>Although it is unclear if a sequel to Until Dawn is in development, it seems that Ballistic Moon is not involved in that possible continuation<\/strong>. However, it is rumored that interest in the franchise could be revived with the upcoming release of a movie based on Until Dawn, scheduled for next month.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The disappearance of Ballistic Moon highlights the challenges faced by many independent development studios today, <strong>especially in such a competitive and ever-changing market as that of video games<\/strong>. Meanwhile, players can still enjoy the remake of Until Dawn on PC and PS5, although the future of the title and its franchise seems uncertain, even with its movie already in progress.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"Unreal Engine\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-s\/p\/436edb15-8201-4ee3-8d0c-db208d76be32\/2651120726\/unreal-engine-unrealengine.png\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">Unreal Engine<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/unreal-engine.softonic.com\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/unreal-engine.softonic.com\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ballistic Moon, the studio behind the remake of Until Dawn released in 2024, has announced its effective closure after failing to find a publisher for its next project.
