Creepy Until Dawn 2 will get to be the nightmare after Christmas this year, launching January 28, 2027. Developer Firesprite revealed the date at PlayStation State of Play alongside a new game trailer that makes the anthology sequel look like an episode of Ghost Adventures gone wrong – which, if you're a voyeuristic horror freak like me, is ideal.

Firesprite creative director Stu Tilley asks in a PlayStation blog, "Will you guide all the team of fake ghost hunting YouTubers 'Dead True' (plus their plucky chicken companion!) safely off Akishima Island? Or will the horrors claim a few… or even all… as you face the chilling horrors of this beautiful yet deadly paradise?"

Pre-orders begin September 10.
