"Days Gone Remastered: Now with Adjustable Game Speed"

The much-anticipated Days Gone Remastered is on the horizon, and Sony's Bend Studio has recently shed light on the exciting accessibility features set to enhance the gameplay experience. Among these, a standout feature is the ability to adjust the Game Speed, allowing players to slow down the action during intense moments. This option lets gamers tweak the speed from 100% down to 75%, 50%, and even 25%, aiming to ease the strain for those who find high-pressure situations challenging.

In a detailed post on the PlayStation Blog, Kevin McAllister, Bend Studio's Creative & Product Lead, outlined the various accessibility enhancements coming with Days Gone Remastered. He emphasized that the Game Speed feature is particularly beneficial for players who might feel overwhelmed during encounters with hordes of Freakers. "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 aims to make the unique combat experience more accessible to a wider audience.

Beyond Game Speed, Days Gone Remastered will offer a range of other accessibility options, including customizable subtitle colors, a High Contrast Mode, UI Narration, and Collectible Audio Cues. Additionally, the auto-complete QTE feature, previously exclusive to the Easy difficulty, will now be available across all difficulty levels, from Easy to Survival II.

Bend Studio has also confirmed that most of these new accessibility features will make their way 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 additional enhancements such as an improved photo mode, permadeath, and speedrun options alongside the accessibility features. 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. Fans who already own the PS4 version can upgrade to the PS5 remastered version for just $10.
