Until Dawn remake studio Ballistic Moon has been officially dissolved 

One of the most curious remakes which we’ve received in recent years was that of Until Dawn – released back in October 2024 courtesy of Ballistic Moon Studios. Within months of the game’s launch the studio was said to have been “effectively closed”. Though unconfirmed at the time, Ballistic Moon’s fate has now been revealed, with the studio officially being dissolved.

As reported by Insider-Gaming (who first made claims about Ballistic Moon back in 2025), the studio has now officially been dissolved as of February 2026 – marking the end of what was a relatively short existence.

Founded in 2019, Ballistic Moon was created by ex-devs from SuperMassive Games; the original team behind Until Dawn. The remake served as the studio’s first project and unfortunately was not received too warmly, achieving a Metacritic score of 70 (compared to the original’s 79).

While the title did receive some post-release support, according to Insider-Gaming by December of 2024 “the company had quietly laid off the remaining staff it had kept on board to support the game after launch.”

Based on the new ending cutscene designed for the remake, it is clear that Sony did at one point have plans to expand the Until Dawn universe – especially given the release of the film adaptation. That said, with reviews for the remake being middling, and now the official closure of Ballistic Moon, it’s safe to say that the franchise is going back on ice.
