Days Gone Remastered comes with new content

The gaming studio said that Days Gone will come with Horde Assault, which will offer fresh and unexpected gameplay. The new survival arcade mode is designed to challenge your skill as you try to achieve a high score while surviving as long as possible against increased horde sizes and various other enemies.

Horde assault will allow you to travel across familiar regions found in the story, including the Cascade, Beldnap, Lost Lake, and Crater Lake. The company also warned that “This World Comes For You” because you are required to fight your way through a brutal, ever-changing landscape. Enemies in the game will escalate in difficulty the longer you survive, and you can earn in-mode rewards as you move up in level. The mode will also come with never-before-playable characters, new patch cosmetics, and unique injectors.

The game will also have a challenge of the compelling story of Deacon St. John’s journey in a single playthrough called Permadeath mode. Bend Studio said that your skill will be tested to the limit, and mastery is required to conquer Permadeath mode, where everything is out to kill you. The game will also have a setting where you must return to the beginning of the game if you die or the start of the second act to try your luck again.

Bend Studio said that you will be awarded a special graphic recording of the time it took you to complete the Permadeath mode. Once you conquer it, you will also receive a shiny new PlayStation Trophy.

The gaming company revealed that Days Gone Remastered will get another game mode at launch: Speedrun mode. This mode will equip you with nitrous and require you to play through the story as quickly as possible.

The game developer also disclosed an Enhanced Photo Mode for all virtual photographers. The Photo mode will receive improvements such as time-of-day settings, a three-point lighting system, and new logo options.
