No matter whether you loved or hated it on PS4, one of the most impressive things about Days Gone was undoubtedly its zombie horde technology. The last-gen console could flood the area surrounding protagonist Deacon St. John with hundreds of undead enemies, creating tense fights for your life.

This feature is being upgraded with the imminent PS5 version, Days Gone Remastered, and it's also being spun out into its own new mode, Horde Assault.

The new trailer above goes in-depth on the mode, revealing how much bigger the hordes have gotten in the jump from PS4 to PS5. It also shares how you can play as new characters, level up to earn extra rewards, and how the horde becomes more difficult to survive the longer you stay alive.

Days Gone Remastered launches on 25th April 2025, enhancing the base campaign and adding more modes like the above alongside a permadeath mode and more. Are you planning on returning to Days Gone? Let us know in the comments below.
