Days Gone Remastered
The new mode coming to Days Gone is getting a new highlight out there as we gear up for the launch of Days Gone Remastered
Not only will we be getting a whole lot of new visuals and options to play Days Gone Remastered on the PS5 and PC, but it did feel like there might need to be something extra added in to bring some of us back. The game was solid before and worth another playthrough with all of the flashier and faster visuals that Bend Studio is getting out there, but what will keep us playing it over and over so we might see a true sequel. Well, that is where the new Hoard Assault mode of the game is going to kick off when Days Gone Remastered lands on the PS5 on April 25th with the content being available for the PC through some DLC dropped out there. Given that it was already hitting some of those benchmarks before.
So, what is this new mode coming with Days Gone Remastered? Well, it is a classic horde mode where we are going to be tasked with trying to survive the Freakers as long as we can. Kind of like a classic Horde mode from so many other games out there. The twist here for Days Gone is that we will be able to add in little twists to it all to make the challenge a lot harder or vastly easier, depending on how you want to go about racking up the high score out there. All while fending off against all of the different types of Freakers and using all 20 weapons in the game. Do not worry, though, if that sounds like an easy way to game the system; once you hit 30 minutes of surviving out there, we will get to see one of the things this game was known for with the Ultimate Horde flooding in to make things extra rough. This was one of the titles that was able to get 1000s of undead roaming on screen at one time, and I am sure the remaster is only going to amp that up even further.
Days Gone Remastered — Horde Assault
Available for the PS5 on April 25, 2025.
New content will also be available on PC as Broken Road DLC on April 25, 2025.
What is Horde Assault mode?
Horde Assault offers fresh and unexpected gameplay designed to challenge your skills as you try to achieve a high score, while surviving as long as possible against increased horde sizes and various other enemies, like Breakers, Reachers, and Rager bears, oh my! Fight your way through a brutal, ever-changing landscape where enemies escalate in difficulty the longer you survive. Horde Assault was built from the promise of “This World Comes For You,” showcasing the core gameplay of the Days Gone open world in a unique way. Horde Assault is your playground for a truly endless game mode. Go show them Freakers who’s boss.
Begin Horde Assault by dropping into Cascade with only a sidearm weapon at your disposal. Fight your way through the initial assault of Freakers to reach your Drifter bike, a valuable tool to traverse the open region. Seek out Supply Boxes scattered around the map to obtain powerful weapons to greatly increase your chance at survival. With more than 20 available weapons to use, including a new flamethrower not offered in Story mode, finding a Supply Box could be life or death when encountering the next horde. What weapons drop from each Supply Box is random and will reset upon each new start.
While you’re out there fighting for your life (literally) refill your resources and earn additional XP by completing Side Jobs. These mini objectives are critical for keeping you in the fight. Running out of ammo with up to 800 Freakers chasing you, is not ideal. We did say there are increased hordes… Of course, we couldn’t make it that easy for you. Should you make it to 30 minutes of survival time in any map, you will be treated to the Ultimate Horde. A never-ending horde fight in a relentless approach to hunt you down. We’ll stop explaining it any further and let you experience it firsthand.
Are you excited to see this mode coming for Days Gone Remastered or do you think this will only work for a small few player groups out there? Will you be trying out things like exploding Freakers as an option or will you opt to give them some extra bonuses while hunting you down? Will they need to figure out an option for players who can make it through a whole hour of the horde or will that be when the infected bears start to flood in even more? Ride on down to the comment section to discuss all of those thoughts you might have for this out there. We will have all that we can for Days Gone Remastered, so please keep on checking in here for those updates and the many others still on the way out there. It is still early in the year, so there is certainly a whole lot more to enjoy along the way.
