The acclaimed PS4 game Horizon Zero Dawn is reportedly being remastered for PS5, according to Video Games Chronicle and MP1ST.

The outlets reported over the weekend that the updated version of the game will sport new accessibility options and improved visuals, including new character models, animations and lighting. These updates will bring the game in-line with its recently released sequel, Horizon Forbidden West.

According to the outlets, a separate Horizon multiplayer game is also in development. Sony has not officially announced either project.

Released for PS4 in 2017, Horizon Zero Dawn would go on to become one of the system's bestselling games. The title was later ported to PC in 2020, with added ultra-wide monitor support and an unlocked frame rate.

This would not be the first time Sony remastered one of its recent titles. Earlier this year, the company released The Last of Us Part I, a PS5 remake of the acclaimed 2013 PS3 game.
