It’s official: Horizon Zero Dawn is getting a PS5 remaster. The long-rumored (and occasionally leaked) new edition was revealed during today’sPlayStation State of Playbroadcast.
This looks like a pretty major upgrade, as the devs have done ten hours of new motion capture and brought the game up to a similar level of visual fidelity to its sequel, Horizon Forbidden West. The Horizon Zero Dawn remaster launches October 31 on PS5 and PC. If you own the game on PS4, you’ll be able to upgrade for a discounted price of $9.99 USD.
But all ofSony’s PS5 remaster projects have been a bit weird, given that we’ve grown accustomed to so many free upgrades on the new console,including the 60 FPS patch for Horizon itself. I’m just left wondering if Sony will at least wait for PS6 before the inevitableHorizon Forbidden Westremaster comes around.
