Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered Rated for PS5 and PC
Sony’s stretch of remasters is set to continue with the release of Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered for PlayStation 5 and PC.
Confirmation comes from an ESRB rating for the unannounced game, which was heavily rumored to be in the works after Sony pulled Horizon Zero Dawn from PS Plus earlier this year.
The rating, still live at the time of this article’s publication, reads:
Horizon Zero Dawn is Guerrilla Games’ action role-playing game that launched in 2017 on PlayStation 4 and then on PC in 2020. It stars Aloy who battles dinosaur machines in a post-apocalyptic world. Horizon Zero Dawn is one of the best-selling PlayStation Studios games of all time, shifting over 24 million units since launch.
This remaster is sure to spark a vociferous debate about whether it’s needed in the first place, not just because Horizon Zero Dawn remains one of the most impressive-looking PlayStation games around, but because it received a PS5 update in 2021 that added a 60 frames per second mode and 4K checkerboard resolution. Word of the remaster’s imminent release comes ahead of the launch of the PS5 Pro in November. Guerrilla may be updating Horizon Zero Dawn as part of that console’s release.
It's a busy time for the Horizon series. Spin-off LEGO Horizon Adventures launches later this year, and Guerrilla is still working on a multiplayer Horizon game.
