An Until Dawn remake player has uncovered a strange bug that sees some of the characters from the game without hair or a body, giving an even creepier spin to the sinister title. Initially released in 2015 for the PlayStation 4 and then receiving an Unreal Engine 5 makeover in 2024, Until Dawn places players into the shoes of eight friends as they face an unbelievable nightmare in a bid to survive, while also making tough choices that may change the outcome of the story.

Even though the Ballistic Moon title has the same plot and characters as the 2015 game, Until Dawn does have some differences that include a death scene change involving the characters Ashley and Chris, which hasn’t gone down too well with some fans. Unfortunately, that’s not the end of the complaints that Until Dawn players are discussing.

Until Dawn Remake Review

The 2024 Until Dawn remake is a great time, but it doesn’t do enough to justify its steep price tag compared to the 2015 original.

On Reddit, user Some-Hornet8797 has shared with the community a strange glitch that they experienced while playing the remake of Until Dawn. In their playthrough, the player noticed that Emily, one of the eight main playable characters in Until Dawn, had not only lost her long dark hair, making her bald, but she had also become bodiless as well, giving the horror classic serious spooky vibes. As frustrating as this glitch can be for players, many of the comments in the thread state how good Emily still looks, regardless of her shiny head.

One Redditor said that Emily rocked the metal look in the second image as she tosses her hair back, while another commenter expressed that they thought she looked good and crushed “the clean bean look.” Another fan of the game said that they thought Emily looked better in the glitch than she did in the trailers. Aside from some unusual glitches, other players have been experiencing graphical issues, ray tracing and DLSS not working, which could be a contribution to why Until Dawn is facing a low player count on Steam.

With the release of the remake and the horror gaming genre as popular as ever, rumors have been circulating that Until Dawn will get a sequel, but, as always, this information should be taken with a pitch of salt until a concrete announcement is in place. As for now, Until Dawn seemingly needs to address some of the issues players have been facing before moving on to another title.
