Summary

  • A developer working on Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered has teased that more remasters are underway.
  • Insiders claim that Days Gone is also being remastered, so this may be one of the future projects that Nixxes is working on.

Last month, Sony announced that it's remastering Horizon Zero Dawn, but a developer at Nixxes — the studio behind the upcoming remaster — has hinted that more are underway.

As reported by PlayStation LifeStyle, the employee posted on LinkedIn, "After five PlayStation PC ports, the first big PlayStation content project from Nixxes Software is coming up!"

The key word here is "first", seemingly confirming reports that Horizon Zero Dawn won't be the last. VGC reporter Jordan Middler teased last month that Days Gone is also being remastered, which insider Jeff Grubb confirmed shortly after. Perhaps this is Nixxes' next project.

Nixxes Lead Software Engineer Also Teased More Remasters

Last year, Nixxes lead software engineer Coen Frauenfelder said in an official PlayStation video that the studio is "working more and more on creating remasters", plural. It certainly looks like Sony is interested in bringing its backcatalogue up to par with other first-party PS5 releases, but whether we'll see any older games make the cut remains to be seen.

Horizon Zero Dawn launched just seven years ago, and Days Gone released even more recently in 2019. These are both PS4 games that are already backwards compatible on PS5, while PlayStation still has myriad PS3 games that are inaccessible outside of streaming. Whether any future remasters will tackle these games, or if Sony is more focused on its PS4 blockbusters, only time will tell.

Nixxes' focus prior to Horizon Zero Dawn was PC ports. It worked on Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, Horizon Forbidden West, Ghost of Tsushima, Spider-Man, and Spider-Man: Miles Morales, helping bring several of PlayStation's biggest hitters to a brand-new platform.

The new Horizon Zero Dawn remaster is also launching on PC, with the original having been removed from Epic Games Store, so perhaps this is the studio's new strategy going forward. It certainly makes sense considering the fact that Bluepoint — which has traditionally developed remakes and HD ports for PlayStation — is now focused on making original games.
