Yes,
it’s
real!

After
numerous
leaks
and
rumours,
Sony
revealed
Horizon:
Zero
Dawn
Remastered
during
their
latest
State
of
Play.

The
new
edition
of
the
game
is
scheduled
to
launch
for
PS5
and
PC
on
October
21
and
promises
several
enhancements
designed
to
bring
it
up
to
Horizon:
Forbidden
West’s
graphical
quality.

The
game
will
also
apparently
include
over
10
hours
of
newly
recorded
mocap,
along
with
full
Dualsense
support.
There
will
also
be
improved
camera
angles,
which
will
hopefully
make
conversations
a
little
more
interesting.

“Horizon
Zero
Dawn
Remastered
launches
on
October
31.
The
captivating
story
and
awe-inspiring
post-apocalyptic
world
returns
alongside
a
host
of
technological
improvements,
visual
enhancements,
and
upgraded
features.
It
also
includes
The
Frozen
Wilds
content,
a
vast
expansion
featuring
additional
lands,
skills,
weapons,
and
machines.”
says
Jan-Bart
van
Beek,
Studio
Director
and
Studio
Art
&
Animation
Director
at
Guerrilla

“Horizon
Zero
Dawn
Remastered
features
over
10
hours
of
re-recorded
conversation,
mocap
and
countless
graphical
improvements
that
bring
the
game
to
the
same
visual
fidelity
as
its
critically
acclaimed
sequel
Horizon
Forbidden
West.
The
game’s
lush
world
includes
frozen
mountains,
dense
jungles,
and
arid
deserts
with
stunning
new
visuals
and
4K
graphics
and
travelling
between
settlements
is
now
lightning-fast.”

The
good
news
is
that
anyone
who
owns
the
original
game
can
pick
up
the
newly
remastered
edition
of
Horizon:
Zero
Dawn
for
£9.99/$9.99.
If
you
don’t
already
own
it,
you
can
snag
the
new
version
for
$49.99

What
we
get
to
see
of
the
game
in
the
trailer
does
indeed
look
bloody
gorgeous
–
hardly
surprising,
as
Horizon:
Forbidden
West
is
arguably
one
of
the
best-looking
games
on
console.

That
said,
a
remaster
of
Horizon:
Zero
Dawn
feels…well,
a
little
pointless.
Still,
remastering
titles
seems
to
be
the
current
Sony
strategy
and
it
has
paid
off
for
them
in
the
past
with
the
likes
of
The
Last
of
Us
Chapter
2’s
upgrade.

And
honestly,
for
£10
I’m
actually
quite
tempted
to
pick
the
upgrade
up
as
an
excuse
to
play
through
Zero
Dawn
again.
