Horizon Zero Dawn PS5 Remaster in Development: Report
A Horizon Zero Dawn PS5 remaster is reportedly in development. As per MP1ST, Sony is planning a revamped version of the critically-acclaimed PS4 title, centring around young hunter Aloy. The title, which is merely five years old and saw a sequel — Horizon Forbidden West — launch earlier this year, will get several enhancements on PS5, including improved lighting, overhauled textures, and better animations. Furthermore, the report notes that a Horizon online multiplayer game is in the works, for both PS5 and PC.
VGC corroborated the report via 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 be included as well, akin to most PS5 entries, which have graphical, performance, and uncapped performance modes — the last of which takes advantage of the variable refresh rate VRR.
Don't expect much in the gameplay department, since the addition of underwater exploration and glider, from Horizon Forbidden West, would hamper the storyline. But who knows? Sony could surprise us with those items as a New Game+ reward.
