"Days Gone Remastered: Now with Adjustable Game Speed"

Days Gone Remastered is on the horizon, and Sony's Bend Studio has recently shared exciting details about the accessibility features that will enhance the gaming experience for players. One of the standout features is the ability to adjust Game Speed, allowing players to slow down the action when things get intense. This option lets you tweak the gameplay speed from 100% down to 75%, 50%, or even 25%, making it easier for those who might find high-pressure situations challenging.

In a recent PlayStation Blog post, Kevin McAllister, Bend Studio's Creative & Product Lead, elaborated on these new accessibility options. "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 all players.

Beyond Game Speed, Days Gone Remastered will offer a range of other accessibility enhancements. These include customizable subtitle colors, a High Contrast Mode, UI Narration, and Collectible Audio Cues. Additionally, the auto-complete QTE option, which was previously exclusive to 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 be rolled out to the PC version of Days Gone. However, some features like feedback and control customization will require a compatible controller.

Announced in February, Days Gone Remastered promises not only improved accessibility but also additional features such as an enhanced photo mode, permadeath, and speedrun options. This remastered version of the 2019 post-apocalyptic zombie action-adventure game, centered around a biker's journey, is set to launch on April 25, 2025. Players who already own the PS4 version can upgrade to the PS5 remastered edition for just $10.
