"Days Gone Remastered: New Feature Allows Game Speed Adjustment"

The highly anticipated Days Gone Remastered is approaching fast, and Sony's Bend Studio recently shared exciting details about the enhanced accessibility features set to be included in the updated version. One standout feature is the ability to adjust Game Speed, allowing players to slow down gameplay when facing tense situations. This option lets players set the speed to 100%, 75%, 50%, or even 25% of normal, aiming to ease the experience for those who find high-pressure moments challenging.

In a recent PlayStation Blog post, Kevin McAllister, Bend Studio's Creative & Product Lead, elaborated on the various accessibility enhancements. "Game Speed is ideal for players who might feel overwhelmed in certain situations or have difficulty with various inputs in high pressure moments, specifically fighting off hordes of Freakers," McAllister explained. With the introduction of the new Horde Assault mode in the remaster, this feature is designed to make the intense combat experience more accessible to all players.

Beyond Game Speed, Days Gone Remastered will offer a range of other accessibility options, such as customizable subtitle colors, a High Contrast Mode, UI Narration, and Collectible Audio Cues. The auto-complete QTE feature, which was previously limited to 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 options like feedback and control customization will require a compatible controller.

Announced back in February, Days Gone Remastered promises not only improved accessibility but also additional features like an enhanced photo mode, permadeath, and speedrun options. This remaster 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.
