Leaks Reveal Curse, Setting, and More in Until Dawn 2

The trailer for Until Dawn 2 was shown during PlayStation's most recent State of Play, revealing an entirely new cast of characters. In the trailer, we see a group of supernatural influences travel to a tropical island to film content. While they originally planned to fake their videos, they ended up encountering legitimate supernatural terrors.

While the exact location of the island was left unnamed in the trailer, Reddit user la_chartreuse states that it is somewhere in Asia and that the cast will be dealing with a curse, leading some to speculate they could be in Vietnam, Japan, or the Philippines.

The same leaker, who posted details before the trailer had even been shown, added that the main villain of the story will have a "heartbreaking" story. Like the original Until Dawn, the players' choices will matter. Each decision can lead to a different path, similar to the Butterfly Mechanic from the previous game.
