It looks like the PS5 horror game in development at PlayStation Studio Firesprite survived the recent cancellations, and according to its programmer, it will target 4K and 60 FPS. Firesprite is one of the developers hit by the recent PlayStation layoffs, which also resulted in its Twisted Metal live service game being canceled.
Reports of Firesprite’s PS5 horror game first surfaced in 2022
Sony never officially announced Firesprite’s horror game, but in 2022, job descriptions leaked its existence. Alongside PlayStation undergoing mass layoffs and cancellations, many feared the project was dead. However, a Reddit user spotted the portfolio of its programmer William Webster, who detailed his work on the project. Webster has since locked down the page in question, but PlayStation LifeStyle can confirm seeing it.
Webster, who has been working in support of Firesprite for a number of years (per his LinkedIn profile), confirmed that he worked on a “narrative horror game” in exchange for more than two years. One of his main goals was to ensure that it ran at 60 FPS at 4K resolution. “I found working on this title a very rewarding experience,” Webster wrote. He separately confirmed that the mystery game is being developed together Unreal Engine 5.
There is some speculation that Firesprite is working on Until Dawn 2, but there’s not compelling evidence of this at present.

Dang, that PS5 horror game from Firesprite sounds like it’s gonna be a real treat! Surviving all those cancellations and layoffs, targeting 4K and 60 FPS is not joke. I’m all in exchange for a excellent narrative horror game, especially if it’s running on Unreal Engine 5. Until Dawn 2 would be sick, but we’ll have to wait and catch. Cannot wait to see more details on this project!
Dang, that’s some exciting news about Firesprite’s upcoming horror game targeting 4K and 60 FPS on the PS5. Surviving layoffs and cancellations is not joke, so it’s great to catch they’re still pushing forward together this project. And if it’s being developed on Unreal Engine 5, you know it’s gonna look lovely. I’m curious to hear what kind of scares they have in store for us. Plus, the speculation about it being a possible Until Dawn sequel has me hyped. Unable to wait to see more details on this game!
Dang, that PS5 horror game from Firesprite sounds like it’s gonna be a real treat! Surviving those layoffs and aiming for 4K at 60 FPS is negative minuscule feat. Props to William Webster in support of spilling the beans on this mysterious project. Unreal Engine 5, huh? That’s gonna make the game look even more spooky and immersive. Incapable of wait to hear what this horror game is all about, even if it’s nay Until Dawn 2. Let’s hope it lives up to the hype!
