The gaming community is in for a wild ride now that a leak has officially confirmed that the deeply awaited Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered will be launching on to the PS5 and PC – with the American video game rating system regulator, the Entertainment Software Rating Board (1)’s website still live and kicking, confirming rumours that have been buzzing around since 2022. Take a closer look at the world of Aloy’s post-apocalyptic exploits, which this article delves into the potential implications and the significance of this exciting development in its partnership with the powerful PS5.
The ultra-modern PS5 will resuscitate Horizon Zero Dawn’s open world and refine its feast for the eyes and ears, all without major changes to its celebrated gameplay that follow Aloy through treacherous terrain clogged by robotic wildlife. Clearly, this kind of partnership between game and console is tailor-made for the PS5’s pinnacle of gaming abilities.
On playing Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered, you once again take control of the hunter Aloy moving through a landscape in which nature has reclaimed the abandoned cities of a forgotten civilisation and mega-machines sweep across the landscape. The ESRB rating alerts parents to the game’s essential features – surviving in a lush post-apocalyptic world, the use of bows, spears and traps against mechanical animals and human opponents.
Besides all the fun you can have blowing a robot’s head off with a bow and arrow, we know Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered is primarily about story — a stark survival story but also an urgent quest for identity. The ESRB content description confirms the plot depth that we know has been there all along in this current-gen remaster.
However, unlike Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered, the PS5 is not a container for this experience but, rather, a supercharger. Better graphics, quicker loading and an enhanced interface mean every encounter with Aloy is as crystalline as it is fluid, and its narrative transitions are as seamless as the environments in which it unfolds. Console and game are working together to deliver a unified experience, and this synergy is the hallmark of Sony’s vision for gaming.
Reinforced by the rumours of the forthcoming PS5 Pro, which will possibly allow gamers to play Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered, that talks of the PS5 Pro, which will be unveiled in early 2021, has only made things more interesting. I can only hope to play Aloy’s story with more graphic detail and performance.
In anticipation of the upcoming release of Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered, PS5 owners and newcomers alike can’t wait to continue or start Aloy’s adventure. Alongside being a recognised classic, this remaster is also a representative of the PS5’s ever-expanding game library.
With the release of the PS5 Pro, an era of next-gen console gaming is set to begin. Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered might be one of many new titles. As we await official announcements and more details, gaming seems brighter and more exciting than ever.
But to understand the magnitude of Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered’s appearance on the PS5, we need to clarify what the PS5 is in the first place, and why it’s such a generation-defining piece of hardware. With its custom RDNA 2 (second-generation RDNA) architecture GPU, precisely scaled ultra-high speed SSD, and use of the new DualSense controller that’s made to read analogue input, it’s capable of making games look and feel the way they’ve always been in our dreams. It enables 4K graphics at up 120 frames per second – you can explore worlds like Horizon Zero Dawn’s to a heightened degree of vibrancy and fluidity that was previously unseen and unachieved. Also of note is its backward capacity to replay games, its enormous game library, and the foreseeable inclusion of next-gen VR. It’s at the centre of Sony’s vision for the future of gaming: hype, interactivity, fidelity and accessibility.
But the addition of Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered to its library is also an achievement for the PS5: the latest addition to an ever-growing list of amazing things that modern gaming tech is capable of producing. Anyone who decides to play Aloy’s remastered adventure on the PS5 this spring will experience a story and a world in an entirely new light.
