APlayStation 5remake ofHorizon Zero Dawnis still on the, um, horizon, and fans of the series have differing opinions on exactly how they want it to turn out.
As the source that MP1ST heard this rumour from stated, the remake will “feature an improved lighting system (ambient occlusion, and such), overhauled textures. and better animations, with new character models to match those found in the sequel,Horizon Forbidden West”.

It’s also unclear if this project is a remake or remaster, although given the updated graphical improvements in the PC release ofHorizon Zero Dawnand how much time has passed in between its 2017 release and now, it’s probably safe to assume it would be the former.
The source also told them that a multiplayer game based on the Horizon IP is also in the works, although details regarding the exact nature of this game were sparse.

The problem is, fans of the series can’t quite seem to agree on exactly what changes they’d want to see in a remake of the original title.
In a recent Reddit post, one personposed the question, “Can they remakeHZDwith the game mechanics ofHFW?”
One commenterreplied saying, “I am sure some things would be redone to matchHFW, but just adding the Stash would be amazing.
But thenanother repliedwith, “Honestly, I wish the reverse, lol. I kinda hate the gameplay changes to #2, and wish it were more like #1.”

One user agreed,stating“There is some QoL stuff that I’d like to have inHZDbut as far as core gameplay mechanics, I much preferHZD.”
Finally,another commenterlanded somewhere in between in their reply.
“It’s interesting to see opinions diverge like that,” they said, “While I appreciate some things that were introduced inHFW, overall I enjoyedHZD’s gameplay more because it nailed the level of complexity of the different gameplay systems.HFWoverdid it in some ways.”
Seems an awful lot like developer Guerrilla Games has the work cut out for them if they want to appeal to everyone in the fan base, although at this point that’s starting to seem impossible.
