Overview of Days Gone Remastered Announcement
- Sony has officially unveiled Days Gone Remastered for the PS5, introducing exciting new game modes and enhancements.
- The remaster includes two distinct modes: Horde Assault and Permadeath.
- Existing PS4 owners can upgrade to the remaster for a price of $9.99.
Days Gone Remastered has officially made its debut, following previous leaks and speculation. The original title, launched by Bend Studio in 2019, garnered a mixed reception, particularly for a first-party PlayStation title. Despite its critiques, Days Gone has cultivated a passionate community of fans who continue to hope for a potential sequel.
However, reports indicate that Sony declined a sequel pitch for Days Gone. Meanwhile, Bend Studio was conceptualizing a new live-service game, which has since been scrapped. While the studio’s future remains uncertain, fans can eagerly anticipate the enhanced version of Days Gone arriving on PS5 soon.
New Features and Enhancements for PS5
During the recent PlayStation State of Play event, the highly anticipated announcement of Days Gone Remastered was confirmed. This new version is designed to leverage the advanced capabilities of the PS5, featuring upgraded visuals and performance enhancements, including special benefits for PS5 Pro users. Additionally, the game will integrate full DualSense controller support along with improved accessibility options.
Innovative Game Modes Introduced
Beyond visual improvements, Days Gone Remastered offers fresh game modes. The new Horde Assault mode is an arcade-style challenge where players face off against overwhelming hordes of zombies, even larger than those encountered in the game’s narrative campaign. This mode will introduce new characters, customizable cosmetics, and much more.
In addition to the Horde Assault mode, a Permadeath mode will be introduced, allowing players to showcase their completion stats, along with a unique trophy graphic. Fans can also engage in a Speedrun mode and explore an enhanced Photo Mode for capturing stunning in-game moments.
Pricing Structure and Pre-Order Bonuses
Those eager to experience the newly enhanced Days Gone Remastered should keep in mind that this upgrade will not be free. Players who already own the PS4 version can transition to the remastered edition for $9.99, consistent with other PS4 to PS5 upgrade offerings. For those who wish to purchase the remaster as a standalone, it will be available for $49.99.
Additionally, players who pre-order Days Gone Remastered will receive eight exclusive PSN avatars inspired by the game’s characters, along with early access to certain in-game unlocks. It’s worth noting that the remastered content will also reach PC players; however, it will be included in the $10 Broken Road DLC rather than as a free update.
