• @Umais Bin Sajjad: Full review to follow, but for now, I would suggest proposing new hooks as the current one is mainly targeted towards Until Dawn fans rather than the general public. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 07:52, 12 June 2026 (UTC)

  Thanks for the review. I have proposed two ALT hooks that should be clearer to readers unfamiliar. I think ALT2 may be the strongest but your call. Umais🗣 20:13, 12 June 2026 (UTC)

  ALT1: ... that the ghost hunters in Until Dawn 2 stage fake paranormal videos before encountering real horrors?

  Source: PlayStation Blog states that the game's characters run a paranormal channel, that their scares are staged, and that they later face real horrors.

  ALT2: ... that in Until Dawn 2, the player's choices can decide whether every main character survives or dies?

  Source: Shacknews reported that the trailer states "every character can live or die based on player decisions."

To be honest, I'm not really sure if either hook is interesting to a broad audience. ALT1, probably not, ALT2 is marginal. I may have to ask for a second opinion on ALT2 within the next few days. I'll get to the full review soon. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 08:34, 15 June 2026 (UTC)

Fair enough, thanks. I do not see a stronger hook beyond what I proposed. ALT2 is probably the best of the available options, but I understand if you find it marginal. I'll leave it for your full review or a second opinion rather than keep adding weaker hooks. Umais🗣 05:56, 16 June 2026 (UTC)

Really dislike all the ones you have, sorry. DS (talk) 05:06, 18 June 2026 (UTC)

• Given the opposition to the proposed hooks and how no better hook can be proposed, I'm marking this for closure. It's too bad this didn't work out, but as a newly-announced game, there isn't really much yet available that is usable. Once the game is out and there's more information about its development and reception, I suggest bringing it to GA status so it will be eligible for a second shot at DYK.
