Earlier this 12 months across the similar time {that a} Horizon Zero Daybreak remaster was wanting increasingly seemingly, one other PlayStation unique was closely rumoured to additionally get the remaster remedy. That recreation was Days Gone, the 2019 action-adventure recreation 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 The sport is simply half a decade outdated and has a strong PS5 patch that lets it run at 60FPS. Nevertheless, that didn’t cease Sony from just lately remastering Horizon Zero Daybreak, which itself was additionally a reasonably new recreation that already had a terrific PS5 patch.
ResetEra consumer Dex3108 famous that quite a lot of exercise on the Days Gone Steam web page has been occurring just lately which you’ll see by way of SteamDB. Trying on the entries, you’ll be able to see the exercise has really been occurring for much longer than that although. Actually, 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 worth on Steam, with the sale ending on December 12, the identical date that The Recreation Awards is because of be aired. Might 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 Aside has heaps of exercise on its web page over the previous couple of days, weeks and months. Returnal is a bit quieter, however nonetheless has an inexpensive quantity of modifications. 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 mentioned, I’m inclined to imagine {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 like the Horizon Zero Daybreak one, with potential prospects being provided a £10 improve. If true, I would really do it as a result of I really loved the hell out of the sport, though I completely agree that I’d moderately see the sources used to develop this and the Horizon remaster used elsewhere. Like a Bloodborne remaster. Trace, trace, Sony.
