- The remaster was previously leaked by reputable insiders.
- Whether it’s announced at The Game Awards on Thursday remains to be seen, however.
According to the latest rumors, it seems as though a Days Gone Remastered announcement could be taking place at The Game Awards 2024. This isn’t the first time that there have been rumblings about a potential Days Gone remaster, but the rumored project still has yet to be officially announced to the masses.
Days Gone was first released in 2019, and unlike most Sony first-party games, it earned mixed reviews and proved to be a rather divisive release. Despite the mixed reaction, there are many who enjoyed the open world zombie game and were disappointed to learn that the sequel pitch was apparently rejected by Sony. While Days Gone 2 may never happen, it seems fans of the original may soon have the chance to revisit it with some enhancements.

A Days Gone Remaster Would Be a Bittersweet PS5 Release
Recent rumors about a potential Days Gone remaster for the PS5 is exciting news, but if true, this release would also sting a bit.
It’s possible that the long-rumored Days Gone remaster is going to be announced at The Game Awards 2024. We know that the Days Gone remaster exists thanks to reports by reputable insiders, though whether it will be revealed at The Game Awards on December 12 is still up for debate. However, it was pointed out on Resetera that the Steam version of Days Gone has seemingly received updates as of late, with the latest activity occurring on December 9. Not only that, but the current version of Days Gone is on sale, with that sale ending on December 12, the same day as The Game Awards. Now, this might all be nothing more than coincidences, but it has nonetheless fueled the rumors that the Days Gone remaster is going to be announced at The Game Awards.
Days Gone Remaster Rumored for The Game Awards
If a Days Gone remaster is announced at The Game Awards, it will be interesting to see what it brings to the table. Like the Horizon Zero Dawn remaster, fans may be wondering what exactly the point of a Days Gone remaster is. After all, Days Gone is already playable on PS5 through the console’s backward compatibility with PS4, plus the game is also already available on PC.
Perhaps a Days Gone remaster will fix the bugs that plagued the original game and deliver a more polished experience that fans expect from first-party PlayStation games. Maybe this could be Days Gone‘s second chance at a first impression, potentially increasing interest in the IP. Even if that happens, though, fans shouldn’t hold their breath for a Days Gone sequel, as developer Bend Studio is reportedly busy working on a new live-service IP.
Days Gone is an open-world action-adventure game set in a harsh wilderness two years after a devastating global pandemic. Play as Deacon St. John, a drifter and bounty hunter who rides the broken road, fighting to survive while searching for a reason to live.
Harsh Open World: Using the power of PlayStation 4 and Unreal Engine 4, Days Gone offers an incredibly realistic and detailed open-world experience. Immerse yourself in vast and hostile environments, and explore their secrets. Search abandoned vehicles, houses, truck stops and towns as you scavenge for resources. But be careful— day and night cycles, along with dynamic weather systems, all affect gameplay and enemy behavior.
Brutal Sandbox Combat: Perfect your gameplay with an endless combination of strategy and play in every situation. Craft customized items using pieces and parts found in the field, from brutal melee weapons to traps and more. Act wisely, as every choice can be the difference between life and death.
