Sony and PlayStation Studios have made several remakes in recent years, including titles like The Last of Us Part 1. This is becoming a trend, and apparently there is another one incoming. Horizon Zero Dawn will leave PS Plus extra this month.

The only reason Sony is making this move is that they are preparing a new version of Horizon Zero Dawn, a remake. When this was revealed on social media, many fans quickly realized that this could be a possibility and were not very happy with this particular news. The Horizon Zero Dawn remake is not necessary; there are other titles that may require it.

Many PlayStation fans are always in agreement with the latest remakes that Sony is making, like an excuse to see the same game again with only a few changes for $70. Parts 1 and 2 of The Last of Us received this treatment with moderate success. Apparently, there is another title that could receive its own remake. Thanks to a very weird move from PlayStation Studios, users noticed that a first-party game would leave PS Plus Extra.

Horizon Zero Dawn will leave this service on May 21; this was revealed on X, and many fans quickly responded by saying that Sony would do it again—another remake.

This is a fast response to this kind of news, with consumers figuring out how the company wants to sell another remake of a title that looks impressive almost 10 years after its first release. Users added that the next State of Play will reveal this remake in a few weeks.

PS Plus Extra will pull out another first-party game

The revelation that this remake was in development was first reported back in October. This report said that it was not clear if the game would be a complete build from the ground up or if it would just tweak certain features. According to the source, this title will have new lightning, new models that are more similar to the sequel to this IP, and all the graphics quality that the Decima Engine can offer.

Fans could really have a point; there are many rumors about a new State of Play coming soon, and with this move from PlayStation by pulling out a first-party game from their own service, the only thing that makes sense is a remake or remaster. The responses on X were not very positive; many fans are just angry at Sony for trying to make another title that charges you $70 to play almost the same game.

Guerrilla or Sony have not discussed this, but there is a huge chance that this project is in development. The latest games that received this treatment were an excuse to release the titles on PC. PlayStation is trying to sell more games and make the whole division more profitable. The idea is to make an exclusive game for a while on the console, and a couple of years later it will be launched on PC.

I'm a big fan of movies and videogames in general. I really love Pokémon and Godzilla. One of my favorite games is The Last of Us, Part II. A compelling and well-written story is always welcome.
