"Days Gone Remastered: Now with Adjustable Game Speed"

Days Gone Remastered is just around the corner, and Sony's Bend Studio has recently shed light on the exciting accessibility features that will enhance the player experience in the updated version of the game. One of the standout features is the ability to adjust Game Speed, allowing players to slow down the action when things get intense.

In a detailed PlayStation Blog post, Kevin McAllister, Bend Studio's Creative & Product Lead, outlined the array of accessibility options coming to Days Gone Remastered. A key feature is the Game Speed adjustment, which lets players scale the speed of gameplay from 100% down to 75%, 50%, and even 25%. McAllister emphasized that this feature is designed to assist players who may find high-pressure situations challenging.

"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. "Hordes are a pillar in Days Gone gameplay and with our new Horde Assault mode arriving in the remaster, we wanted to make this unique combat experience more accessible to our players."

In addition to Game Speed, Days Gone Remastered will introduce other accessibility enhancements, including customizable subtitle colors, a High Contrast Mode, UI Narration, and Collectible Audio Cues. The auto-complete QTE feature, previously exclusive to Easy difficulty, will now be available across all difficulty levels, from Easy to Survival II.

While these accessibility options are set to debut in Days Gone Remastered, Bend Studio has confirmed that most of these features will also be integrated into the PC version of Days Gone. However, some features like feedback and control customization will require a compatible controller.

Days Gone Remastered was officially announced back in February, promising a host of new features including an enhanced photo mode, permadeath and speedrun options, alongside the aforementioned accessibility improvements. This remaster of the 2019 post-apocalyptic zombie action-adventure game, centered around a biker's journey, is set to launch soon.

Mark your calendars for April 25, 2025, when Days Gone Remastered will become available. Players who own the PS4 version of Days Gone can upgrade to the PS5 remastered edition for just $10.
