Things are complicated with Until Dawn Remake. Sony will have to endure another hard blow and possibly face another failure of one of its exclusives. We will explain the situation to you.
Many have been protesting against excessive remasters and remakes for several years, especially on the PlayStation side. Despite the possible criticism, we can also find good points. For example, it is often an opportunity to introduce a game to a new audience on a new generation of consoles, or even expand the audience by taking the opportunity to produce a port to another platform. This is the case for, for example Until dawnwhich was released on PS5 and PC just nine years after its initial release on PS4. But in this particular case, the initiative didn’t work as Sony had hoped…
Until Dawn stays on the small committee
On October 4, 2024, Until dawn has received a re-release on PS5 and PC through a remake of Ballistic Moon. This version follows the original story closely, but makes slight changes in direction (with one final surprise at the end). Also count small new features in relation to the items to be restored. Finally, the studio has carried out a complete overhaul, especially when it comes to graphics.
However, this does not seem to have been enough to convince the PCists. Actually, Until Dawn remake The start is particularly quiet. And beyond that, the number of users is only decreasing. So we counted on the evening of October 4th a peak of 2,572 concurrent players on Steam. There has been a gradual decline since then, with the most recent peak reaching just 1,505 players on October 7th.
We are not far from catastrophe Concord. For comparison, the remake of The Last of Us Part I had gathered more than 36,000 people when it was released on PC. Even the remastered compilation Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves climbed to 10,851 players. More recently, the porting of God of war Ragnarök got off to a good start, peaking at 35,615 players shortly after release.
Several reasons can explain this crashSee you therewn. Firstly, the fact that it is a remake may affect its response among players. Furthermore, the game was released in 2015, so it is still fresh in people’s minds. Above all, it is purely a narrative game with little gameplay. Therefore, not everyone will find it interesting to do it again. Especially since then The game has been created, created and recreated by hundreds of streamersso many have already seen it and know the story inside and out. Therefore, we can understand these unfavorable numbers for Sony.
