Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered launches on October 31 for PlayStation 5 and PC

As a seasoned gamer with years of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that the upcoming Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered is a game that should not be missed. With its enhanced framerates and support for the latest performance-boosting technologies like NVIDIA DLSS 3 and AMD FSR 3.1, this remastered version promises to deliver an even smoother and more immersive gaming experience.

At the recent State of Play event, Sony Interactive Entertainment in partnership with Guerrilla Games revealed that the remastered version of “Horizon Zero Dawn” is scheduled to release on October 31. This version will be playable not only on PlayStation 5 but also on PC platforms such as Steam and Epic.

Beyond what was featured in the prior Complete Edition, this revamped version offers an additional 10 hours of spoken dialogue, boasts enhanced animation, lighting, textures, and audio effects. The PC adaptation will accommodate ultrawide screen resolutions and DLSS/FSR frame rate technologies. Furthermore, the remaster comes with expanded functionality for the Dualsense controller and heightened accessibility features.

If you’ve got Horizon Zero Dawn on your PS5, PS4, or PC already, you can take advantage of a reduced price upgrade option for just $9.99. For more information on this and other details, check out the blog post we’ve linked below.

Around seven years past, we unleashed Horizon Zero Dawn into the wilderness. Players encountered our main character, Aloy, embarking on a journey of self-exploration in a mystifying, post-apocalyptic world overrun by lethal machines.
Back then, it marked the emergence of a vibrant community of cosplay enthusiasts, digital photographers, fan artists, and content producers whose remarkable works continue to inspire us today. For many fans and all of us here at Guerrilla, Horizon Zero Dawn holds a special place in our hearts.
The community surrounding Horizon Zero Dawn continues to expand, with millions more discovering the game each year. However, seven years is a significant stretch in the realm of computer graphics; technology advances rapidly. As time progressed, we found ourselves longing for those just embarking on Aloy’s origin journey to experience it with a version that matches the capabilities of their PS5 or compatible PC. With this in mind, we are delighted to reveal that the game has been remastered by our skilled colleagues at Nixxes.
On Halloween, October 31st, Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered will be released. This game brings back its enthralling narrative set in an awe-inspiring post-apocalyptic world, now boasting numerous technological advancements, visual upgrades, and improved features. Additionally, it offers The Frozen Wilds content, an extensive expansion that includes new territories, abilities, weapons, and machines.
In the remastered version of Horizon Zero Dawn, you’ll encounter over 10 hours of re-recorded dialogue, motion capture, and numerous graphical enhancements that match the visual quality of its highly praised sequel, Horizon Forbidden West. The game’s immersive environment boasts frozen peaks, dense jungles, and scorching deserts, all with breathtaking new visuals and 4K graphics. Plus, moving between settlements has never been faster!
In this updated version of the tale, the captivating personalities have been revamped, ensuring they align with modern technology’s progress in character design and graphics. We anticipate that enhanced animations, lighting effects, textures, and other features will spark excitement among both new and long-time fans, enticing them to immerse themselves in the thrilling adventure!
In Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered, the audio quality has been noticeably upgraded. We’ve overhauled the sound mix to take advantage of the PS5’s Tempest 3D Audio Tech for advanced ambisonics and Atmos rendering, creating a more immersive sound environment. Additionally, our sound design has undergone significant enhancements, with numerous improvements in both the gameplay and cinematic aspects.
In Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered, the powerful capabilities and features of the PlayStation 5 console are fully leveraged. The DualSense controller’s haptic feedback and adaptive triggers offer an extraordinarily immersive gaming experience during intense battles, quiet exploration, or climbing massive Tallnecks. Throughout the game, customized haptics for the DualSense controller have been implemented to enhance immersion with tactile feedback. Moreover, a new optional accessibility feature has been added that uses sound and haptic feedback to alert players about interactive items, such as pickups, which were previously only indicated visually.
Additionally, we’re thrilled to announce that Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered is compatible with PlayStation 5 Pro. This means an array of graphical enhancements optimized for the PS5 Pro’s power, ensuring top-notch visuals and incredibly fast frame rates.
The Windows edition of the PC game (version 3) comes equipped with the PlayStation overlay, complete with Trophy functionality, and boasts its own unique features. These include compatibility for ultra-wide screen resolutions and the adoption of cutting-edge technologies like NVIDIA DLSS 3 and AMD FSR 3.1 with frame generation technology. Our partners at Nixxes will delve deeper into these features in a future blog post.
In this updated version, several accessibility features found initially in Horizon Forbidden West are also incorporated. This includes customizable controls, tactile prompts, and a range of assistance options, ensuring an enjoyable gaming experience for everyone.
If you’re among those who’ve played the game before, rest assured that your previous save files are compatible. This means it’s an ideal moment for you to jump into New Game+ mode, revisit familiar landscapes, or delve back into Photo Mode with all the outfits and customizations you previously unlocked.
Get ready! Pre-order opportunities for the remastered version of Horizon Zero Dawn will become available starting October 3rd, on all compatible platforms.
