Until Dawn

This special release of Until Dawn contains the base game and a voucher with a limited time availability for downloading a bonus chapter in the story featuring Matt and Emily. This bonus chapter is integrated with the storyline and takes place somewhere between chapter 2 and chapter 3, depicting the events shortly after their arrival at the cabin in the mountains, just after Emily had a fight with Jessica regarding Mike (Emily's ex-boyfriend, Jessica's current boyfriend). Emily realizes she forgot her bag someplace and together with Mike they go out in order to look for it, and maybe for some quality time together as well. During their short excursion, they get the feeling they're not alone and their romantic moments are soon shattered with their fears.

Depending on the territory, this game version was available in retail or digital release. In US and Europe, it was available by pre-ordering the game, either as a retail copy or a PSN digital version. In Australia they have two different retail versions, one which includes the voucher for the bonus chapter. In Japan, the bonus chapter was included from the start in both retail and digital releases as an early release purchase bonus.

The Japanese retail version just contains a small extra sticker on the front packaging mentioning the bonus chapter and availability extending until September 26, 2016, which is 1 year since its release date in Japan. Unlike the US and EU releases, the Japanese game version has certain gore elements censored by simply turning the screen black but with voices and sound effects still playing, leaving the death scene imagination to the player. For the Japanese market, this was the first and only initial release of the game, there was no version without the bonus chapter.
