Have you ever heard this before? A remake of this classic game from my childhood is being released, still incredibly relevant even for people like me in their early twenties who grew up without it, and we can buy it without needing parental permission, which is exciting news.
Horizon Zero Dawn’s sport mode, previously only available on PlayStation and released in 2017, is reportedly set for a PC revival in 2020, according to an ESRB rating leak suggesting the title will be re-released on the platform. Why? However, this comes hot on the heels of the PS5 Pro’s highly anticipated release?
As of this writing, the remastered version of Horizon Zero Dawn, previously rumored to be in development, is expected to arrive on PS5 and PC at an unspecified point before the end of time – or, more accurately, no official release date has been announced yet.
Here’s a brief recap for those who may have forgotten: According to the ESRB, this action role-playing game follows Aloy, a hunter, as she navigates a post-apocalyptic world. Gamers familiarize themselves with Aloy’s journey as she masterfully takes down robotic creatures and wildlife in a harsh wilderness environment. As a skilled hunter, Aloy employs a versatile arsenal that includes deadly arrows, sturdy spears, and strategically deployed explosive traps to take down machines, formidable boar, and the occasional hostile human.
Here’s the rewritten text:
It’s essential to note that violent scenes in this content feature “animals and people emitting small puffs of purple blood when struck.” Additionally, mature themes are present, including explicit language (“the phrase ‘sh*t’ appears in dialogue”) and occasional references to pornography. Viewer discretion is advised.
While a graphical facelift would undoubtedly enhance the visual appeal of Horizon, one wonders whether such an upgrade is truly necessary. Don’t most modern video games actually strive for players to immerse themselves in their virtual worlds? While an unlikely scenario, adding a Horizon Zero Dawn upgrade with extra features could still contribute to driving sales for a high-end console upgrade arriving in November, potentially appealing to fans of the game and tech enthusiasts alike.
While Sony has yet to confirm the existence of a PS5 Pro or whether this remastered version is related, fans will have to wait and see if an official announcement arrives, shedding light on the situation. As you wait, consider binge-watching The Last of Us trilogy, having first figured out the mind-erasing mechanism employed by the Men in Black to forget some plot points, thereby allowing you to temporarily put aside your concerns about the narrative’s gaps.
