According to an email received today by Destructoid, verified and confirmed through a second independent source, Sony is currently performing market testing in the UK on a piece of Until Dawn DLC, tentatively titled Rush of Blood.

The DLC, which appears to be an on-rails first-person shooter, is being designed to work with PlayStation VR.

Well you get transported around inside a mine cart; it's very literally an on-rails experience. There are a few scattered jumpscares, as you'd expect, but I played the same 20 minute section twice (once with DS4, once with dual Move controllers), so I'm hoping the full DLC is a lot more padded out. I didn't see which character I was playing as, I'm not sure if it's specified, but no names were mentioned at all.

It starts off shooting targets in the snow, then moves toward a house and as you get deeper into the house, enemies start appearing

(I believe they were Wendigos). The frequently reused jumpscare is the 'ghost' from inside the house in Until Dawn, who you end up fighting for the final area I played. Upon killing the ghost, the game would crash every time.

While it's currently unclear how far along this DLC project is, it seems like it's set in the same areas as the main game, and relies heavily on motion controls.

On-rail shooter? what the fuck

Motherfucking spoilers for Until Dawn in that description, too, don't read it if you haven't finished the main game.

Lingitiz · Oct 21, 2015

Doesn't sound at all like what I'd want from a DLC for this game.

Kyoufu · Oct 21, 2015

The DLC is for PSVR? Interesting.

I think.

Kinsei · Oct 21, 2015

On rail shooter? I think I'll pass.

ahdurian · Oct 21, 2015

what...

Krakn3Dfx · Oct 21, 2015

If they're considering DLC, the game clearly did well sales wise, good to see. One of the best this year without a doubt.

An example of reading the thread title without reading the post.

Bare Grills · Oct 21, 2015

I would rather it be third person

wapplew · Oct 21, 2015

Until dawn theme VR roller coaster? Sure, why not.

OrbitalBeard · Oct 21, 2015

That sounds pretty awful.

And GOD DAMNIT at the spoilers in that description. Please tell me the game I just purchased a few days ago but haven't played yet hasn't been ruined for me.

Sharpeye · Oct 21, 2015

Sounds more like a VR teck demo than DLC.

bananafactory · Oct 21, 2015

Could be fun

Tucah · Oct 21, 2015

See title: YESSS

On rails shooter? Ehhhh

Cheat Code · Oct 21, 2015

Sounds like they are harkening back to the original version of this game. Seems like less of a DLC and more of a small VR project.

Thanks. Good thing I read the replies first.

SSReborn · Oct 21, 2015

Isn't this completely opposite to what Supermassive said in that interview a short while ago?

A-V-B · Oct 21, 2015

Sounds like it was something else until Sony saw how popular Until Dawn was and decided to attach the IP to boost sales...

Alucrid · Oct 21, 2015

Sounds more like standalone vr content

DR2K · Oct 21, 2015

I hated the game when it went from

Scream/Saw

to another

zombie-ish

game. This demo appeals to people that enjoyed the latter.

Nugg · Oct 21, 2015

The DLC

YES!

which appears to be an on-rails first-person shooter

WAT?! NO!

Loved the game, but I don't think I'm interested in this

It's technically not DLC, just Until Dawn: Time Crisis Edition.

Azlan · Oct 21, 2015

Meh. This could be fun in VR, but I would love some more REAL Until Dawn content. If true, they should get rid of the Until Dawn branding. Otherwise it is such a tease.

I was glad the game didn't stay one-note the entire time. At least they did something with their twist, instead of the way The Order 1886 introduces its twist and then just fucking drops it like it shouldn't have even been there in the first place.

RedAssedApe · Oct 21, 2015

this sounds fucking awful lol

1- An on rails shooter? Pass.

2- Know what's all the rage these days? Spoiler tags. Maybe add some next time.

GavinUK86 · Oct 21, 2015

Yo, Dawg, spoiler tag some of that quote and a mod needs to add spoiler to the title.

I also don't want an on rails shooter lol. What the hell??

GeoramA · Oct 21, 2015

Sure, why not. It worked so well for that Fable Kinect game...

LowSignal · Oct 21, 2015

I LOVED this game, The DLC's description of a on rails experience displeases me.

RoboPlato · Oct 21, 2015

I was coming in to say how excited I was for more Until Dawn but this is not what I expected, even for a VR release.

Grady · Oct 21, 2015

How about you put spoiler in the thread title. What the fuck.

OrbitalBeard · Oct 21, 2015

I'll ask again: having not played this game yet (bought it on sale last week), has it now been ruined for me?

origamipirate · Oct 21, 2015

"I know how we can make Until Dawn an AAA franchise! Make a shootymans spinoff game!"

Baroquemantic · Oct 21, 2015

Sounds like it would be fun.

TheSlySoul · Oct 21, 2015

Until Dawn DLC ye....

It lost what made is special and unique to me.

No. Not really.

Not really, no. By the time you play it you'll forget what you read.

But it's pretty dumb that it's not at least spoiler tagged or warned

Nugg · Oct 21, 2015

Grady said:

How about you stay clear of DLC talk if you haven't even played the main game. Of course this stuff is gonna spoil the game.

DrunkShogun · Oct 21, 2015

Here's hoping that this dlc was from a small segment of the development team and another dlc is in line with the main game is being worked on.

Ok, good. Thanks guys.

The Last Wizard · Oct 21, 2015

Shit. Hopefully it's standalone as I've traded mine in.

AdaWong · Oct 21, 2015

Am I sensing another Heavy Rain DLC situation?

"Heavy Rain DLC announced! 4 extra chapters for each character!"
"The first DLC chapter is available now!"
"Rest of this exciting DLC cancelled due to Sony forcing us to implement Sony's gimmicky Move in the game."

"Until Dawn did VERY well critically AND commercially! Already planning DLC!"
"DLC now is an on-rail shooter that supports Sony's VR system."

biteren · Oct 21, 2015

Rail Shooter?

ok im down but a odd gameplay choice none the less

NotTheGuyYouKill · Oct 21, 2015

On rails? Motion controls? I love Until Dawn, but pass.
