Until Dawn Remake Gets ESRB Rating
If theUntil Dawnremake is still being released in 2024 as expected, one has to imagine that an announcement about its release date will be made sooner rather than later. One would think that Gamescom Opening Night Live on August 20 would be an ideal place to make such an announcement, but it’s been reported thatPlayStation is skipping Gamescom this year. Another possibility would be the Tokyo Game Show in September, but that seems unlikely.
There have been rumors that aPlayStation Showcase could take place in September. If those rumors are true, then it seems like that would be the most likely place for Sony to officially announce theUntil Dawnremake release date. Alternatively, Sony may simply come out and make the announcement on its own, completely separate from any big event. It’s unclear what is going to happen with theUntil Dawnremake, but hopefully, horror fans will get answers sooner rather than later.
