The Quarry and Until Dawn are two of the most critically acclaimed titles to come straight from the pockets of Supermassive Games. Both games share an understatedly similar plot and in-game mechanics. This has fans wondering if The Quarry is a sequel to the Until Dawn game. It’s an expected question, as at one point, Until Dawn 2 was seriously in the pipeline at Sony. Thanks to Time Extension’s investigation, we’ve found some evidence to put your mind at rest.
The Connections Between Until Dawn and The Quarry
During Time Extension's investigation, they spoke to several employees from Supermassive Games. A few of those employees claimed that the Quarry was actually a pitch for Until Dawn 2. One of the employees said that Sony paid the Quarry team to create a prototype for Until Dawn 2. However, Supermassive wanted to pitch their final prototype to other companies, which eventually led to a split with Sony. Below is what the employee actually said:
"The Quarry team originally worked with Sony on Until Dawn 2. And Sony basically paid for them to prototype it for them. Once the prototype was done, Supermassive turned around and said, 'We're going to ask around and see if anyone else wants it,' which was kind of the final nail in the coffin of any relationship with Sony. They eventually got picked up by Google, who funded them for years."
Another employee said the same thing, but gave a different take on this story. He said, "The Quarry started out as a pitch to Until Dawn, but they didn't have the license. They burned their bridges with Sony by releasing Dark Pictures on multiple platforms. As far as I know, someone else has that license now."
