Mark your calendars for April 25, 2025. That's when #DaysGone Remastered hits PlayStation 5 as a digital-only title.<br /><br />If you already own Days Gone on PS4, good news. You can upgrade to the remastered version for just $10. But there's a catch. This offer only applies if you actually purchased the game. PlayStation Plus members who claimed it for free aren't eligible.<br /><br />https://bootitems.com/days-gone-remastered-release-date/<br /><br />PC players aren't left out. The same day, you'll get access to the "Broken Road DLC" for the existing PC version.<br /><br />So what's new in this remaster? A lot, actually.<br /><br />The visual upgrades are immediately noticeable. Bend Studio has enhanced the lighting and shadow quality. The fog depth looks more realistic. Nighttime is darker with a more natural-looking moon. Even the blue sky appears more natural.<br /><br />But this isn't just a pretty face. The remaster introduces several new game modes.<br /><br />Horde Assault mode takes full advantage of PS5 hardware. While the original game topped out at 500 Freakers in a horde, the remaster pushes that number to over 800. That's a lot of zombies to deal with.<br /><br />For hardcore players, there's a new Permadeath mode. You can either attempt to complete the entire game without dying once, or play on a per-act basis to avoid losing hours of progress.<br /><br />Speed runners will appreciate the dedicated Speedrun mode. It tracks your playthrough time while automatically excluding cinematics.<br /><br />Even the Photo Mode got an upgrade. It now offers more lighting options and instant day-night switching for perfect shots.<br /><br />Kevin McAllister, Creative and Product Lead at Bend Studio, seems confident about these improvements. He says, "You'll see the difference."<br /><br />The timing is interesting though. The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered launches on PC just weeks earlier, on April 3. Two PlayStation zombie games releasing so close together might create some competition.<br /><br />Despite Sony reportedly rejecting a Days Gone sequel, pre-orders for the remaster are performing well. This could potentially revive interest in the franchise.<br /><br />Whether you're a returning player or experiencing Deacon St. John's journey for the first time, Days Gone Remastered aims to be the definitive version of this post-apocalyptic adventure.<br /><br />That's all for now. This is Samantha Yates from BootItems.com. See you in the Farewell Wilderness on April 25.
