A Horizon Zero Dawn PS5 remaster is in development. According to MP1ST, Sony is planning a revamped version of the critically-acclaimed PS4 title, centering on young hunter Aloy. The title, which is only five years old and a sequel – Horizon Forbidden West – launched earlier this year, will receive a number of improvements on PS5, including improved lighting, overhauled textures and better animations. Moreover, the report mentions that a Horizon online multiplayer game is in the works for both PS5 and PC.
VGC confirmed the report through their own sources, claiming that the new PS5 version for Horizon Zero Dawn will add accessibility features and quality-of-life improvements to the game. Different graphic modes will also be included, as with most PS5 entries, including graphical, performance and uncapped performance modes — the last of which takes advantage of variable refresh rate VRR.
Don’t expect much in the gameplay department, as the addition of underwater exploration and gliders from Horizon Forbidden West will hamper the plot. But who knows? Sony may surprise us with that item as a New Game+ reward.
Horizon Zero Dawn Review
Horizon Zero Dawn on PS4 received a performance patch that allowed it to run at a stable 60fps, though it hasn’t received a native 4K update on PS5. This would not be the first time the RPG has been re-released, as it was ported to PC in 2020, with improved draw distance, widescreen support and an uncapped framerate, although assets from the PS4 version were reused.
Speaking of property, MP1ST It states that the Horizon Zero Dawn remaster will “bring closer to the Forbidden West,” with improved new character models, improved textures, and new animations. As with The Last of Us Part 1 “remake,” this may be a tough sell for those who already own the original PS4 version. As mentioned earlier, the game is only five years old, so PS5 players will have to pay Rs. 4,999 / $70 — a standard price point for a new launch on the PS5.
Even Marvel’s Spider-Man, which got a PS5 remaster, two years after its debut on PS4, didn’t warrant its overhaul. In light of the upcoming game in the franchise, voiced by Yuri Lowenthal, this version features a younger character model for Peter Parker.
Furthermore, the report mentions a Horizon multiplayer game for PS5 and PC. Details are scarce, but VGC claims that a co-op mode was initially planned for the title, but was scrapped so the developers could focus on “other areas of the title”. some Leaked concept art Since 2014, the show has shown players fighting together against massive mechanical beasts. Customization will be based around the established tribes in the franchise — take this with a grain of salt.
Currently, there is no set release window or official word from developer Guerrilla Games, but from actor Lance Reddick A now-deleted tweet, it seems plausible. The John Wick Starr played the returning character of Silence in both Horizon games.
