What’s 'Enhanced' about this new edition?
The biggest change from the 2015 release and the Enhanced version of Until Dawn is the overhauled visuals which have been rebuilt using Unreal Engine 5.
Alongside improvements to rendering and raytracing, the character models have been updated to create an even more atmospheric experience on Blackwood Mountain.
Accompanying the improved graphical fidelity are new camera angles enabling players to experience Until Dawn from a new perspective. A third-person camera creates increased emphasis on the key points of the story along with capturing the full detail of the surrounding environment.
