Earlier this 12 months across the similar time {that a} Horizon Zero Daybreak remaster was trying increasingly more probably, one other PlayStation exclusive was heavily rumoured to also get the remaster treatment. That sport was Days Gone, the 2019 action-adventure sport the place you killed zombies and cruised round on a motorcycle.
Now, hypothesis is as soon as once more ramping up that the Days Gone remaster is certainly an actual factor, not that anybody appears to be excited by the prospect. And actually, who can blame them? The sport is simply half a decade outdated and has a stable PS5 patch that lets it run at 60FPS. Nevertheless, that didn’t cease Sony from lately remastering Horizon Zero Daybreak, which itself was additionally a reasonably new sport that already had an amazing PS5 patch.
ResetEra user Dex3108 famous that quite a lot of exercise on the Days Gone Steam web page has been occurring lately which you’ll be able to see via SteamDB. Wanting on the entries, you’ll be able to see the exercise has truly been occurring for much longer than that although. The truth is, no matter is occurring behind the scenes has been occurring for the final 14 months or so. Earlier than that, there’s a pretty big hole the place nothing was occurring.
It has additionally been famous that the sport is at present at a reduced value on Steam, with the sale ending on December 12, the identical date that The Sport Awards is because of be aired. May Sony be gearing as much as announce the remaster on the present, and even shadow drop it on all us unsuspecting fools?
Nevertheless, I really feel the necessity to drop some chilly water on the hypothesis: a look at God of Warfare’s SteamDB web page reveals fixed exercise there too. Likewise, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart has heaps of activity on its page over the last few days, weeks and months. Returnal is slightly quieter, however nonetheless has an affordable quantity of adjustments. The purpose is, I don’t see something which signifies Days Gone’s stage of exercise is something uncommon when put next towards different Sony titles.
All of that being stated, I’m inclined to consider {that a} Days Gone remaster is certainly being labored on, given how dependable the individuals who beforehand mentioned it are, and the truth that Horizon Zero Daybreak’s remaster turned out to be very actual. I simply don’t suppose the SteamDB exercise is compelling proof for it.
Lastly, I assume if the remaster is actual it will likely be very similar to the Horizon Zero Daybreak one, with potential prospects being provided a £10 improve. If true, I would truly do it as a result of I actually enjoyed the hell out of the game, though I completely agree that I’d reasonably see the assets used to develop this and the Horizon remaster used elsewhere. Like a Bloodborne remaster. Trace, trace, Sony.
