Rumor: Days Gone PS5 Remaster Could Be in the Works

Key Takeaways

  • Days Gone may receive a PS5 remaster, according to the latest rumors.
  • The announcement could come at the rumored September State of Play.
  • Developer Bend Studio is believed to be working on an original IP instead of a sequel.

As a gamer with over two decades of gaming under my belt, I have seen the ebb and flow of countless titles, some rising to great heights and others sinking into obscurity. Days Gone, the 2019 open-world zombie adventure, falls into the latter category for me – it was a game that, while not terrible by any means, didn’t quite live up to its potential.

It’s looking possible that Days Gone, the open world zombie game from 2019, could get a remaster for the PlayStation 5. The game had mixed reviews upon release, which is surprising for a high-budget first-party PS game. Interestingly, Sony doesn’t seem to be pursuing a sequel to Days Gone, although it has managed to sell over 7 million copies.

It’s been reported that proposals for a sequel to the game “Days Gone” were turned down by Sony, and instead, the developer Bend Studio is focusing on a fresh project. However, it appears that the original “Days Gone” might receive another chance if the recent gossip is accurate.

As a gaming enthusiast, I couldn’t help but get excited when I heard whispers about a possible remaster of “Days Gone”. It all started when Jordan Middler, from Video Games Chronicle, seemed to agree with Jeff Grubb’s statement that Sony was working on a PS5 remaster. What made this intriguing was that the rumored remaster supposedly wasn’t as enticing as the one for “Horizon Zero Dawn”.

Days Gone PS5 Remaster Rumored

In Astro Bot, more than 100 characters from different gaming franchises are hidden for PlayStation enthusiasts to discover. Some of these characters are less known in the bot world of Astro Bot, while others, like Deacon St. John from Days Gone, are well-known. However, the creator of Days Gone, John Garvin, didn’t seem too pleased with Deacon St. John’s cameo in Astro Bot, implying it was insignificant and not worthy of attention compared to bigger games. It will be intriguing to see if Garvin changes his opinion about the game, assuming there is a remastered version, of course.

Fortunately, fans may not have long to find out whether the speculated Days Gone PS5 remaster is authentic or not. Reports suggest that both this title and the Horizon Zero Dawn PS5 remaster could be unveiled at an upcoming PlayStation State of Play event. This event, anticipated to occur as soon as next week in conjunction with the 2024 Tokyo Game Show, could potentially confirm the existence of the Days Gone PS5 remaster. If it does materialize, discovering its unique features will surely be intriguing.

Previously, it was mentioned that “Days Gone” received a PS5 update, enhancing its performance using the console’s hardware capabilities. However, this isn’t exactly the same as a complete remaster, causing some confusion about the purpose of the potential remaster. It might be used to demonstrate the power of the upcoming PS5 Pro or use the PS5’s hardware in ways that the current update doesn’t achieve. For now, fans of “Days Gone” are advised to wait for an official announcement before anticipating a significant return of the game on Sony’s latest console.
