2015 is the year of Playstation. After its successful E3 announcements and launch trailers, one of its most coveted titles, Until Dawn, will finally be available in the Philippines on August 25.
‘Until Dawn’ top-bills Hayden Panettiere (that sexy cheerleader on ‘Heroes’) as its key character in the bewildering and adaptive story powered by the immersive Killzone Shadowfall engine.
It’s a game that isn’t actually meant to be finished at first playthrough, making it a total winner when it comes to replayability. Oh, and it’ll definitely be a game streaming-favorite. (If you haven’t followed us on Twitch, click this.) Props to its Butterfly Effect game feature, which allows players to know different consequences of their actions (via QTE options) and pick a different choice on their next playthrough.
Check out the full trailer below. We need to warn you though – it’s scary like hell. But if you’re into games like this, the trailer is best watched with your headphones on:
‘Until Dawn’ will be available on Tuesday, August 25, 2015 for only PhP2,499. A pre-order Steelbook version will be available which you may avail from July 31 to August 21.

About “UNTIL DAWN™”
When eight friends are trapped on a remote mountain retreat and things quickly turn sinister, they start to suspect they aren’t alone.
Gripped by fear and with tensions in the group running high, you’ll be forced to make snap decisions that could mean life, or death, for everyone involved.
Every choice you make in your terrifying search for answers – even the seemingly trivial ones – will carve out your own unique story.
With spine-tingling performances from a Hollywood cast including Hayden Panettiere (Heroes, Nashville) brought to life with the power of PlayStation®4 – your actions alone will decide who survives Until Dawn.
In an unpredictable and dynamically adaptive story, crafted in consultation with Until Dawn scriptwriters and indie horror auteurs Larry Fessenden and Graham Reznick, eight friends come together at a remote mountain getaway and embark upon a night of unexpected terror. Through the course of the night, anyone can live, anyone can die, and things aren’t always what they seem. Twists and turns will keep you guessing right to the end as you play each of the friends. The decisions you make on their behalf will determine who survives Until Dawn.
With innovative choice mechanics and the Butterfly-Effect Interface, players can clearly see the path of their story amid the thousands that are possible. Seemingly insignificant choices as well as huge moral dilemmas that will question your sense of fairness, good and evil, can have major unforeseen consequences.
Using the power of the PlayStation®4 and the superior rendering capability of the Killzone™ Shadowfall Engine, together with our own major enhancements in lighting, camera, and animation systems, Until Dawn brings emotional and credible performances of a talented Hollywood cast to life in its realistically terrifying environments.
