Various Until Dawn vets have started the new studio Ballistic Moon, and it seems they may be working on something for PlayStation.
Did we tell you we're developing our new #game with #UE5? We're working with a big publisher and our brilliant team of #gamedevs, AND we'll be relocating soon..🤫

Good news indeed. I loved Until Dawn. Very unique and fun game to play early on in the PS4 lifecycle.
I imagine Supermassive were 'this' close to being acquired by Sony after years of being their go-to 'hey look what the PlayStation Move controllers/Wonderbook can do' partners, the surprise success of Until Dawn and the promising PSVR title Until Dawn Rush of Blood had them on that trajectory.
Then they bit off more than they could chew and mismanaged the hell out of the PSVR titles, Bravo Team and The Inpatient (4 games in just a couple of years). They were stretched far too thin, and they end up getting acquired by some rando Danish company. It's a shame things didn't work out differently. I've no doubt they'd make an amazing follow up to Rush of Blood for PSVR2.
