Supermassive Games’ The Casting of Frank Stone, a narrative horror game based on the Dead by Daylight universe, has received its first gameplay trailer.

Publisher Behaviour Interactive and developer Supermassive Games have released the first gameplay trailer and screenshots for Dead by Daylight single-player cinematic horror game The Casting of Frank Stone.

Following a successful run in early access starting in 2018, Hades went on to become the roguelike to end all roguelikes upon its official release in 2020. Supergiant Games had a smash hit on their hands, and fans weren’t surprised when a sequel was announced to be in the works in 2022. Though the reveal of Hades 2 was far from a shock, many players were stunned to discover that knowledge of the legendary first title won’t be necessary to enjoy it.

Supermassive Games, the UK developer responsible for well-liked narrative horror games like Until Dawn, The Quarry, and The Dark Pictures Anthology is the latest studio to be hit with the layoff bug afflicting the industry. According to Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier, around 90 employees, which represents nearly a third of Supermassive’s 300-strong staff, have been laid off. Supermassive themselves acknowledged the layoffs via the following statement…

Until Dawn developer Supermassive Games has recently announced layoffs. Supermassive Games is known for making horror games with impactful choices, and it’s the latest company affected by one of the worst recent trends in the gaming industry.

Supermassive Games have announced a period of consultation and reorganisation that will end in job losses, as the Until Dawn developers try "to ensure the continued sustainability of the company". It follows a report that studio leadership told 150 people their jobs were at risk earlier today, with around 90 staff expected to eventually leave the business following the consultation.

Until Dawn and The Quarry developer, SupperMassive, is reportedly set to lay off around 90 employees, or nearly a third of its staff.

Supermassive Games is poised to lay off approximately 90 employees from the company.

The Quarry and The Dark Pictures Anthology studio Supermassive Games is the latest developer to suffer layoffs. In a new report by Bloomberg, the developer revealed to staff that 150 employees were “at risk” of redundancy.

Until Dawn is back in the spotlight as the recent announcement of a movie adaptation and a PS5 remake have reawakened many fans' love for the horror title. With excitement for Until Dawn reignited, a new leak suggests that there will be additional content added in the remake, at least for one character.

PlayStation’s next State of Play isn’t official, but based on reports and teases from insider NateTheHate2 and Xbox Era co-founder Nick Baker, it’s looking to be soon. Along with Death Stranding 2, Rise of the Ronin and the next Metro title (reportedly a VR game called Metro Awakening), Until Dawn is also allegedly appearing.

Until Dawn has had quite a few headlines recently. The video game has been around for several years, but newcomers continue to enjoy the horror cinematic experience. But new reports have been circulating online that the Supermassive Games horror title has been pulled from various regions on the PlayStation Store. That might have had some fans wondering if this is to make room for the newly reported Until Dawn remastered edition coming our way. However, it’s likely not a title actually being pulled but rather a glitch that has dropped the game from being made available.

Sony Interactive Entertainment is reportedly planning to bring Until Dawn to PS5 and PC.

Supermassive Games’ breakout horror game Until Dawn is apparently headed to PC, becoming the next previously PlayStation 4-exclusive title to make the leap as an enhanced re-release after the likes of Horizon Zero Dawn, God of War and The Last of Us.

According to a new leak, classic PlayStation 4 exclusive horror game Until Dawn could be making its way to PC and PS5. Until Dawn was developed by Supermassive Games and first released in 2015. Mixing classic survival-horror gameplay with an interactive movie set-up, Until Dawn put a huge emphasis on player choice. Depending on one's actions, all the main characters could survive the ordeal, or they could get killed off in gruesome ways.

Supermassive's hugely entertaining PS4 slasher horror Until Dawn is reportedly making its way to PS5 and PC, with an official announcement said to be happening within the next two weeks.

Sony’s slate of upcoming first party exclusives is looking thinner than it has in a while, but it looks like the company will be filling it up with the comeback of a beloved PS4 exclusive. According to prominent leaker billbil-kun, Until Dawn is set to be announced for PS5 and PC soon.

PlayStation Productions and Screen Gems (part of Sony Pictures Entertainment) are working on a movie adaptation of Supermassive horror hit Until Dawn.

With the likes of Uncharted, The Last of Us, Gran Turismo, and Twisted Metal, Sony’s efforts to adapt first party PlayStation games for film and TV have expanded significantly in the last couple of years, and the company isn’t showing any signs of slowing down. In fact, another acclaimed PlayStation game has joined the list of properties that have adaptations in the works.

PlayStation Productions is developing a movie based on the PlayStation 4 horror game Until Dawn with Screen Gems and Shazam! director David F. Sandberg the companies announced.

Developer Supermassive's acclaimed PS4 cinematic horror game Until Dawn is being turned into a movie by the writer and director of 2017 horror hit Annabelle: Creation.

An enhanced edition of the hit horror game is apparently set to release sometime soon, with the game recently being rated by the Entertainment Software Rating Board.

Guildford.Games Ltd – a not-for-profit initiative introduced to «showcase the local industry and bring the concentrated, creative talent within Guildford to the attention of the world» – has confirmed its 2024 event will kick off on 16th February 2024.

Behaviour Interactive announced earlier this year that it had partnered with Supermassive Games (Until Dawn, The Dark Pictures Anthology) for the development of a new single player narrative-driven horror title set in the Dead by Daylight universe, and as recently confirmed, the game was formally unveiled at The Game Awards.

If The Outlast Trials isn’t enough horror, The Game Awards will also see Supermassive Games’ Dead by Daylight title appearing. A new tweet is available, featuring the message from studio director Steve Goss and executive producer Traci Tufte from May, which promised more details later this year. It seems we’ll finally learn more on December 7th.

Several big titles are launching next year, and Bandai Namco’s Little Nightmares 3 is undoubtedly one of them. Coming to Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS4, PS5 and PC, it’s developed by Supermassive Games instead of Tarsier Studios and takes place in a new location – The Spiral. In a new video, producer Coralie Feniollo offered details about the sequel and its setting.

After revealing new details on Little Nightmares 3, its world and The Necropolis in a new video, Supermassive Games’ producer Coralie Feniello talked about co-op. The platformer supports online co-op (no couch co-op, sadly), with crossplay for the same console family, so PS5 and PS4 players can match together while Xbox Series X/S can play with Xbox One. No cross-platform play, unfortunately.

Bandai Namco’s Little Nightmares 3 was one of the more surprising reveals at this year’s Gamescom Opening Night Live. Not only is Supermassive Games of The Dark Pictures Anthology series developing it instead of Tarsier Studios, but it also introduces co-op (online only, though). An 18-minute gameplay video is available to showcase how that works. Check it out below.

The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope is now available on the Nintendo Switch. The game, second in The Dark Pictures Anthology series, has previously also been released on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S. Check out the Nintendo Switch launch trailer for Little Hope below.

Continuing its trend of bringing games from The Dark Pictures Anthology to the Nintendo Switch, developer Supermassive Games and publisher Bandai Namco have announced that The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope will be coming to Nintendo’s platform on October 5. The game is now also available to pre-order on the eShop.

The Little Nightmares franchise has always felt like it would be a perfect fit for co-op, given the fact that both games so far have put the spotlight on two core characters each, and though the series has remained exclusively single player so far, the recently-announced Little Nightmares 3 will be changing that- with a significant caveat though.

Revealed last night at Gamescom 2023's Opening Night Live, we now know that Little Nightmares 3 is indeed a thing, coming in 2024. It's being made by Supermassive Games, who specialise in horror games (although not quite the same as the nitty-gritty childhood terrors style of Little Nightmares). Following the trajectory of the previous two games, Little Nightmares the third has two controllable protagonists, so you can play in co-op. It also has a tie-in podcast, to build out some of the Little Nightmares lore, a thing you might not have known existed.
