It ’s therefore no surprise that Supermassive has been asked by fans to make a sequel toUntil Dawn , away from PSVR whirl - offUntil dawning : haste of Bloodand prequelThe Inpatient . However , the developer has given its intellect for resisting a sequel thus far , as per a recent consultation withGame Informer .
