Rumored Horizon Zero Dawn PS5 Remake Is Already Experiencing Backlash

Although unconfirmed by PlayStation for now, a remake of Horizon Zero Dawn would seem to align with the publisher's recent approach to PS4 exclusives and upgrading them for the PS5. This approach has yielded a mixed response from players over the last few years, with many bemoaning the price points of these next-gen upgrades, as well as the PS5's general lack of new console exclusives. Indeed, a backlash to the rumored remake has already started to unfold online, with s taking to Twitter to share their disappointment through memes.

While it's certainly true that a Horizon Zero Dawn remake could attract new players, it's easy to understand why these new reports have been met with frustration. Zero Dawn is still a great-looking game and it only released five years ago, making the prospect of a full remake seem like a misallocation of resources. Further still, the PlayStation 5 has been lacking in true new-gen exclusives, with multiple games from the PS4 receiving remasters and upgrades. There is merit to revisiting Horizon Zero Dawn - particularly with the rumored accessibility features in mind - but a full remake may not be the best path forward.
