Here's a review of the game via Jan-Bart van Beek, director of Guerrilla Games and studio art and animation director, on the PlayStation Blog:
We were released more than seven years ago Horizon Zero Dawn to the deserts. Players are introduced to our protagonist Aloy, who embarks on a journey of (self) discovery in a mysterious, far-future world ravaged by deadly machines.
It was also the beginning of a thriving community of cosplayers, virtual photographers, fan-artists and content creators who inspire us to this day with their incredible creations. Horizon Zero Dawn near and dear to many fans as well as everyone at Guerrilla.
And this community did not stop growing. Millions more are raised every year Horizon Zero Dawn for the first time. But seven years is a long time in the world of computer graphics; technology improves. Over time, we wished that new players joining Origins of Aloy could do so with a version compatible with their PS5 or compatible PC. So we're happy to announce that the game has been remade by our talented friends at Nixxes.
Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered It starts on October 31. The compelling story and fascinating apocalyptic world returns with a host of technological upgrades, visual enhancements and enhanced features. It also includes The Frozen Wilds content, an extensive expansion featuring additional lands, skills, weapons and vehicles. Watch the announcement trailer below.
Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered It features over 10 hours of re-recorded conversation, mocap, and countless graphical enhancements 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 travel between settlements is now lightning fast.
Many of the story's compelling characters have been revamped, bringing them in line with current-gen advancements in character models and rendering. We hope the improved animation, lightning, textures and more will motivate new and existing fans to get in on the action!
Sound experience Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered significantly improved. We've completely revamped the audio mix, now supporting PlayStation 5 Tempest 3D Audio Tech for higher-end ambisonics and Atmos rendering for an immersive soundscape. Our sound design has seen huge improvements, with hundreds of improvements to both gameplay and cinematics.
Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered It takes full advantage of the power and features of the PlayStation 5 console. The DualSense controller's haptic feedback and adaptive triggers provide incredible immersion in intense combat, stealth exploration, or massive Tallneck scale. We've integrated custom haptics for the DualSense controller throughout the game, providing haptic feedback that enhances immersion. In addition, we've introduced a new accessibility feature that uses audio and tactile feedback to alert players to interactable items that were previously only visually displayed, such as pickups.
We are also very happy to share it Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered Comes with native support for PlayStation 5 Pro. It includes a host of enhanced graphics features to harness the power of the PlayStation 5 Pro, while delivering ultra-high definition at blazing fast frame rates.
The PC version on Windows includes the PlayStation skin with Trophy support and has its own set of features such as the latest performance-enhancing technologies such as NVIDIA DLSS 3 and AMD FSR 3.1 with support for ultra-wide resolutions and frame rendering. In a future blog, we will allow more expansion to our Nixxes partners.
Many of the accessibility features first introduced in Horizon Forbidden West are also included for this Remastered version; switchable controls, haptic signals and various auxiliary switches will allow all players to fully enjoy the game.
For those of you who have already played it, we've made sure your old save games will work; so this is a great opportunity to dive into New Game+ or return to Photo mode with all your previously unlocked outfits and customizations.
We are happy to share these pre-orders Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered will launch on October 3rd for both platforms.
