The era of remakes and remasters continues as Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered has appeared on the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) website. The sport is listed for Windows PC and PlayStation 5 and has received a Teen rating for blood, drug reference, language, mild sexual themes, and violence. Originally released on PlayStation 4 on February 28, 2017, Horizon Zero Dawn may not be a title that requires a remaster, considering how great it still looks today—much more so within the PC version, released on August 7, 2020.
Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered is probably going receiving an identical treatment as The Last of Us Part II Remastered, and hopefully it should also include a brand new game mode. The roguelike mode in The Last of Us Part II Remastered was a terrific addition, and given how fun Horizon Zero Dawn’s combat system is, it might be a superb fit.
Here’s the ESRB’s rating summary:
That is an motion/role-playing game through which players assume the role of a hunter (Aloy) surviving through a post-apocalyptic world. Players guide Aloy as she learns to hunt robotic creatures and animals within the wild. Aloy uses arrows, spears, and explosive traps to injure and kill machines, boar, and occasional human enemies. Animals and humans emit small puffs of red blood when struck; one sequence depicts an abandoned camp with large blood stains on rocks and trees. The sport accommodates a temporary reference to sexual material (e.g., “Eighteen months hard labor in exchange for thirty years lounging around Elysium watching porn?”). In text/audio files, characters sometimes reference fictional drugs, overdoses, and getting high: “…not even out of junior high and already a drug addict”; “…I ran across a pusher who was selling Razorwing for eight bucks a tab”; “I’d spend just a few days getting high, then OD on Overcast.” The word “sh*t” appears within the text/dialogue.
