Until Dawn 2
#42 =
Last official trailer: 11/09/2026 (28 days ago)
Sequel to the cult 2015 horror game.
Until Dawn 2 is #42 in the HypeTracker ranking, steady this week, with 11.7 M measured views, including +176 k over the last 7 days. Its hype comes 57% from official and media trailers.
This week in the comments
This week's comments stay dominated by emotion around Hayden Panettiere, but a fresh confusion emerges: fans can't tell if Until Dawn 2 takes place on a tropical island or back at Blackwood. The mood mixes tribute, curiosity, and skepticism about the characters and pricing.
Hayden Panettiere tribute continues
About 12% of this week's comments still mention Hayden Panettiere, from RIP messages to hopes for an in-game tribute — an unbroken wave since the pre-order trailer dropped.
Tropical island or Blackwood? Confusion sets in
A handful of comments openly question the setting: is it the tropical island shown in June, or Blackwood as suggested in early September? A perceived contradiction unsettling some fans.
Characters still seen as unlikable
About 6% of comments still find the cast insufferable or unappealing ('influencers', 'nerds'), extending a criticism recurring since the announcement.
No disc, no buy
Resistance to all-digital resurfaces (~5% of comments), still carried by the same slogans as in September.
Top reactions and controversies
Hayden Panettiere tribute
Dominant takeThe passing of the actress behind Sam upended the comments from mid-August onward, peaking at the pre-order trailer where the vast majority of top-liked comments are tributes rather than reactions to the game itself.
Nostalgia for Blackwood and the wendigos
Dominant takeSince the announcement, a large share of the community insists Blackwood and the wendigos are the true soul of Until Dawn; their return in the pre-order trailer was hailed as a redemption after the announce trailer felt too disconnected.
A real Until Dawn or just borrowing the name?
ControversyMany argue that without wendigos, the mountain, or the original cast, the 'Until Dawn 2' name is undeserved; others welcome a self-contained anthology sequel, akin to The Dark Pictures.
Graphics seen as a step backward
ControversyA steady stream of comments finds the faces and animations less convincing than the 2015 original or its remake; a minority defends the 'photorealistic' environments and praises the overall look.
The physical media battle
ControversyThe removal of physical discs sparks a wave of declared boycotts ('no disc no buy'), while another share of commenters says they're fine with all-digital or indifferent to the issue.
The cast delights face-spotters
Dominant takeSpotting Neil Newbon, Dacre Montgomery, or the Cobra Kai actors has become a game in itself, fueling a steady wave of enthusiasm separate from the rest of the debate about the game.
