It’s been rumoured for some time, but it looks like an announcement of Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered is imminent after the ESRB (America’s rating board) listed the game for both PS5 and PC.
Not a lot of information is given about the game outside of the rating summary which just details parts of the game that are relevant to it being rated:
“This is an action/role-playing game in which players assume the role of a hunter (Aloy) surviving through a post-apocalyptic world. Players guide Aloy as she learns to hunt robotic creatures and animals in the wild. Aloy uses arrows, spears, and explosive traps to injure and kill machines, boar, and occasional human enemies. Animals and humans emit small puffs of red blood when struck; one sequence depicts an abandoned camp with large blood stains on rocks and trees. The game contains a brief reference to sexual material (e.g., “Eighteen months hard labor in exchange for thirty years lounging around Elysium watching porn?”). In text/audio files, characters sometimes reference fictional drugs, overdoses, and getting high: “…not even out of junior high and already a drug addict”; “…I ran across a pusher who was selling Razorwing for eight bucks a tab”; “I’d spend a few days getting high, then OD on Overcast.” The word “sh*t” appears in the text/dialogue.”
It’s expected that the game will enhance graphics and introduce performance upgrades both for the PS5 and PC, and it’d be expected that the game will be utilised as a showpiece for the upcoming PS5 Pro as well.
The Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition already exists on PC and looks absolutely stunning when playing at PC with Ultra settings, so it’ll be interesting to see how this compares particularly on the PS5 Pro.
We do know that LEGO Horizon Adventures is set to launch later this year, although we still don’t have a release date for that either.
