Days Gone Remastered has been revealed for PlayStation 5

PlayStation Studios revealed during their recent State of Play that Days Gone is getting the Remastered treatment for PlayStation 5, but it has since been revealed that PC players are also getting in on the fun. Check out the new trailer for the game below.

The game is the same story wise, but there are a host of new modes that players can enjoy. The new additions are:

• Horde Assault – A survival arcade mode

• Permadeath mode

• Speedrun mode

In addition there will be both new Accessibility features and an enhanced Photo Mode.

Owners of the game on PlayStation 4 will be able to upgrade the game on PlayStation 5 in order to get the new content, with the upgrade price set at $15 here in Australia.

For PC owners, they will be able to access the content, by buying the Broken Road DLC, which was not previously available on that platform. If you do not buy that DLC, you will not get the new modes, just as simple as that.

We reviewed the game when it first launched onto PlayStation 4 and enjoyed it, but it had issues.

Here are some words on the new features, taken from the PlayStation Blog

DualSense controller support

Feel the intensity of Days Gone with its full use of the DualSense wireless controller’s haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. Ride across the Broken Road and feel the rumble of your bike’s engine or the wheels gripping the dirt roads in the palm of your hands. Lose yourself in the unique environment of the Pacific Northwest with weather haptics including rain and thunder. Get to grips with the distinct feel and resistance of various weapons from Deacon’s arsenal while fighting your way through hordes of Freakers.

New Accessibility features

Accessible play is important to us at Bend Studio. Days Gone Remastered gave us the opportunity to expand our suite of accessibility features, allowing even more players to enjoy our world. To highlight a few of these new settings, Days Gone Remastered includes High Contrast mode, Game Speed, UI Narration, Collectible Audio Cues, Controller Remapping, Field of View slider, and more.

Not only is Days Gone Remastered receiving PS5 enhancements, but we’re also throwing in new content to play!

Horde Assault – A survival arcade mode

Experience an all-new way to play Days Gone! Horde Assault offers fresh and unexpected gameplay designed to challenge your skills as you try to achieve a high score while surviving as long as possible against increased horde sizes and various other enemies, like vicious survivors and evolved Freakers. And yes, we said increased horde sizes. Good luck.

Travel across familiar regions found in the story including the Cascade, Belknap, Lost Lake, and Crater Lake. But be warned: This World Comes For You. Fight your way through a brutal, ever-changing landscape where enemies escalate in difficulty the longer you survive. Move up in level to earn in-mode rewards with never-before-playable characters, new patch cosmetics, and unique Injectors to greatly impact your gameplay experience. Stay tuned for more information on Horde Assault coming soon!

Permadeath mode

Do you have the skill – and nerve – to take on the ultimate challenge by attempting to finish the compelling story of Deacon St. John’s journey in one single playthrough without dying?

In a world where everything is out to kill you, your skills will be tested to the limit and mastery is required to conquer Permadeath mode. If you meet your unfortunate end, you must either return to the beginning of the game or the start of the second act and try your luck again – dependent on which setting you choose. Achieve this great feat and be rewarded with a special graphic recording your time it took to complete, unique stats like how many Freakers you killed during your playthrough, and more. Of course, you’ll receive a shiny new PlayStation Trophy as well.
