■About Back to the Dawn

Back to the Dawn is a prison break thriller RPG developed by Shanghai-based indie studio Metal Head Games. First released in Early Access on Steam® in November 2023 by Singapore-based publisher Spiral Up Games, the Early Access version received critical acclaim worldwide, winning numerous game awards.

As of August 28, the title boasts a strong Metacritic score of 84 and has received over 6,000 user reviews on Steam, maintaining a coveted “Very Positive” rating (93% positive).

Building on this success, CLE will bring Back to the Dawn to Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 5 with enhanced localization across all subtitle languages, as well as the addition of brand-new Japanese and Chinese voice acting. These improvements allow players to dive even deeper into the game’s gripping suspense, tense prison politics, and intricate web of choices.
