Sony has announced that Horizon Zero Dawn will receive a remaster later this year, bringing it in line with its current-generation sequel.

The details:

  • The long-rumored remaster was announced during PlayStation's State of Play and is being developed by Guerrilla and Nixxes Software for PS5 and PC, with a release date set for October 31. The title will cost $50, but those who already own the original version of Zero Dawn will be able to upgrade for a one-time fee of $10, even if it was acquired through PlayStation's free "Play at Home" initiative.

  • According to Sony, the remaster includes "more than ten hours" of re-recorded motion capture, as well as numerous graphical upgrades such as improved character models, textures, and lighting to bring it closer to Forbidden West. Some PS5-exclusive features, such as haptic triggers and 3D audio, will be also supported, and a number of accessibility options introduced in Forbidden West will be available.

  • Sony has also confirmed that the game will take advantage of the PS5 Pro's increased power, stating that it will provide "ultra-high fidelity at blazing fast framerates" as well as a "range of graphical features that have been improved" specifically for the console.

  • The PC version will support Trophies via the PlayStation overlay, as well as ultra-wide resolutions, Nvidia DLSS 3, AMD FSR 3.1, and additional unannounced exclusive features. Although it is yet to be confirmed, the remaster may require the use of a PlayStation Network account on PC similar to other PlayStation PC ports, such as God of War Ragnarök.
