Until Dawn is the latest video game to get itself a film adaptation, having made its cinematic debut on 25th April. At the film’s close, its credits acknowledge the game it is inspired by, but no individual developer credits are highlighted.
Now, a former PlayStation narrative director has started a petition “for the integrity of the Until Dawn creators”, which they hope will see the film’s credits updated so members of the original team “may be finally honoured”.
At the time of writing, the petition has 167 signatures.
“As a former Sony Interactive Entertainment and PlayStation narrative director who was firmly told that the IP I personally created would NEVER be credited to me as I was salaried (no royalties, no control, no ownership , no acknowledgement) I am struggling with the difference between [The Last of Us creator] Neil Druckmann’s favour and that of others in your company,” Kim MacAskill wrote on LinkedIn (please note, she is talking about personally being a part of Until Dawn’s creation, here).
