Days Gone Remastered is on the horizon, and Sony's Bend Studio has recently shared exciting details about the accessibility features that will be part of this updated version. One of the standout features is the ability to adjust Game Speed, allowing players to slow down the action when things get intense. This option lets you tweak the gameplay speed from 100% all the way down to 75%, 50%, and even 25%. According to Kevin McAllister, Bend Studio's Creative & Product Lead, this feature is designed to help players who might feel overwhelmed during high-pressure scenarios, such as battling hordes of Freakers. With the introduction of the new Horde Assault mode in the remaster, this adjustment aims to make the unique combat experience more accessible to everyone.
In a detailed PlayStation Blog post, McAllister outlined a range of other accessibility options coming to Days Gone Remastered. These include customizable subtitle colors, a High Contrast Mode, UI Narration, and Collectible Audio Cues. Additionally, the auto-complete QTE feature, which was previously exclusive to the Easy difficulty, will now be available across all difficulty levels, from Easy to Survival II.
Bend Studio also confirmed that most of these new accessibility features will be rolled out to the PC version of Days Gone. However, some features like feedback and control customization will require a compatible controller.
Announced back in February, Days Gone Remastered promises not only enhanced accessibility but also an improved photo mode, permadeath, and speedrun options. This remastered edition of the 2019 post-apocalyptic zombie action-adventure game, centered around a biker's journey, is set to launch on April 25, 2025. Players who already own the PS4 version can upgrade to the PS5 remastered version for just $10.
