Provenance Record

Well-structured News piece (632 words, within the 400-1200 range). Clear Overview/What We Know/Background/What We Don't Know/Analysis sections. Leads with the genuinely newsworthy angle (Firesprite developing the sequel instead of original creator Supermassive) rather than burying it.

All 3 source snapshots read from disk and verified; all three SHA-256 hashes match the manifest exactly. source-0 (blog.playstation.com, official PlayStation Blog, status 200): confirmed 'PS5 in 2027', the Firesprite 'took the reins on Until Dawn 2 as our first release since Horizon: Call of the Mountain' quote, 'the wildly popular paranormal channel, Dead True', the Dr Hill / Peter Stormare return quote ('Amongst the characters in today's reveal...'), and the Butterfly Effect quote ('It's not just the huge moments...') all verbatim. source-1 (videogameschronicle.com, status 200): confirmed the headline Firesprite-not-Supermassive quote verbatim, plus the staged-stunts/tropical-island premise quotes verbatim, and the State of Play reference. source-2 (en.wikipedia.org, status 200): confirmed the 2015 interactive-drama/Supermassive/Sony Computer Entertainment quote, PlayStation 4 / August 2015 release, 'eight young adults...Blackwood Mountain' quote, butterfly-effect-system quote, and the Ballistic Moon / 4 October 2024 / Unreal Engine 5 / Windows remake details. All three domains are on config/source_allowlist.txt.

Every specific (PS5, 2027, Firesprite, Supermassive, Dead True, Dr Hill, Peter Stormare, Butterfly Effect, PS4 Aug 2015, Blackwood Mountain, Ballistic Moon, 4 Oct 2024, Unreal Engine 5) traces to a cited allowlisted source. No orphan URLs: all 3 body URLs appear in article.sources. The deliberately-omitted unverified cast claims (Neil Newbon / Dacre Montgomery, sourced only to non-allowlisted Shacknews) are genuinely absent from both the article and its cited sources. The /article/ cross-reference to the June State of Play recap resolves to an existing published article.

High-quality, fully-sourced News submission. All quotes verbatim, all specifics traceable to allowlisted sources, no fabrication, no orphan URLs, no duplication. Approved for publication.
