Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered leaks for PC and PS5

Sony has been making a habit of producing remasters that nobody asked for during the current console generation. We've already seen remasters for both The Last of Us titles, Until Dawn is about to re-release and next, it looks like Horizon Zero Dawn will be getting a fresh release. 

Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered has now been rated for both PS5 and PC by the ESRB, indicating that an announcement and release date is just around the corner. Sony has long been rumoured to be holding a State of Play later this month, so this new remaster should appear during that stream.

Unfortunately, we don't know much else about this remaster at this stage, or how comprehensive it will be. While Zero Dawn's sequel, Forbidden West, did have a decent number of graphical upgrades, we're more likely to see something along the lines of The Last of Us Part 1 in scope, which didn't deliver all of the extra graphical goodness found in The Last of Us Part 2.

With LEGO Horizon Adventures also just around the corner, Sony will be looking to cash in on renewed interest in the series.

KitGuru Says: Horizon Zero Dawn launched on PC just a few years ago, so the need for a remaster is already drastically reduced. At least in the case of The Last of Us Part 1, that was the first time the game had ever been made available on PC. However, Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered will not have that same luxury.

KitGuru Games: DLSS 5 misses the point

It would be hard to argue that NVIDIA’s DLSS technologies haven’t been a net positive to the PC space, with the machine-learning based upscaler successfully translating lower resolution inputs into a final image which is perceivably sharper while hogging fewer resources. Though somewhat more contentious, the next evolution of DLSS came in the form of Frame Generation, using ML in order to generate additional frames for high-refresh rate gaming. Both techniques can have their issues, but generally speaking they’ve allowed for more people to experience higher-end titles at increased frame rates. DLSS 5, however, takes a sharp pivot, with a very different end goal in mind than the performance-boosting versions that came before.
