A change made to a death scene involving the characters Ashley and Chris in the Until Dawn remake has fans completely divided. Comments range from players enjoying the new scene to others feeling that a major part of Until Dawn has been completely altered.
Until Dawn is a 2015 horror title by Supermassive Games, a studio also known for developing The Dark Pictures Anthology. The story follows eight people who must survive on Blackwood Mountain as they await the next day’s dawn. Throughout the night, players must make decisions that influence the story and the characters’ relationships with one another. The game features well-known talents like Rami Malek and Hayden Panettiere, who play Josh Washington and Sam Giddings, respectively. However, die-hard fans have noticed a few changes from the original Until Dawn.
Reddit user WisteriaWillotheWisp posted on the remake’s subreddit, breaking down their thoughts regarding the new way to kill Chris in Until Dawn. In the original scene, Chris is ordered to shoot Ashley or himself with a gun lest several giant blades dropping from the ceiling kill them both. This leads to Chris being locked in a room with Ashley just outside. In the remake’s version of the scene, Ashley takes a moment to contemplate whether Chris should live. After hesitating for a brief period, she realizes she wants to save Chris but is ultimately too late.
Until Dawn Remake Completely Alters Chris’s Death
While the Reddit user has mixed feelings about the changes, they explain that Supermassive Games previously confirmed Ashley’s dark side, with this new scene representing a missed opportunity for Until Dawn to expound on the character’s complexity. It’s also noted that the scene happens regardless of which character the gun is pointed at. Many commenters agree that the original scene should have been left as an option rather than completely changed.
With the release of the remake, rumors concerning a sequel to Until Dawn have begun circulating. Beyond the change in Chris’ death, other alterations include new epilogues that seemingly tease the continuation of Josh and Sam’s stories. The original game did not seem to leave any room for a sequel, though it’s likely that Sony and developer Supermassive Games have found a way to expand on the franchise. Hopefully, more information about the supposed sequel will come to light in the coming months, letting fans know if the rumored project will be a sequel or a spin-off project like Until Dawn: Rush of Blood.
