With the nearing release of Until Dawn remake there has been 2 new endings uncovered that hint at a sequel:
*spoilers!* from Crawlplays, Victoria Kennedy from Eurogamer wrote a summary/article about it.
Spheshal Nick responded on it (he has leaked stuff before but ofc take it with grain of salt)
Colin Moriarty (@Sacred Symbols 53:24) broke the story while back of Firesprite working on Project Heartbreak, worked on by Mondo Golam (animation director, ex-Rockstar) and written by Pierre Sheret (Telltales writing director); perhaps on an Island with a female protagonist.
We've seen job listings at Firesprite with the following: "This huge, highly ambitious partnership project takes atmosphere, storytelling, player agency and narrative firmly into ground-breaking territory on next-generation hardware technologies."
Firesprite has had lay-offs reported by Jason Schreier, this affected the alleged (not green-lit) Twisted Metal, Project Heartbreak is up next for Firesprite
on which Schreier replied in the Reddit thread that he didn't say it was a new IP
From the xDev leak in 2022 Heartbreak and Project Gates were already uncovered as survival horror although the Decima engine for Ballistic Moon did not line-up, the switch to UE5 in line with Firesprites project does. As well as the recent lay-offs at Ballistic Moon after they had finished Until Dawn likely meaning Sony is not following up with funding for the sequel there.
(interesting Project Carbon of Sumo still up, rest has been revealed, leaked or cancelled)
With the scorn relationship between Sony and SuperMassive it's highly likely Firesprite has taken the IP since the remake has been outsourced to Ballistic Moon. Which makes sense to remake to bring it up to par and not influence the development pipeline of the sequel coming to PS5.
We know with the upcoming movie adaptation but also from the business meeting G&N segment that Until Dawn is considered as a world class franchise with potential for growth and investments within Sony (rip Concord).
