Horizon Zero Dawn delisted from Epic Games Store ahead of remaster

Following months of leaks and rumours, Sony officially announced the remaster for its 2017 PS4 title Horizon Zero Dawn – set to come to PS5 and PC on the 31st of October. While there does exist a cheap upgrade path for those who already own the game, Sony appears to be attempting to block any loopholes, with the original game now being delisted from the Epic Games Store.

As discovered by ResetEra user ‘nsilvias’ the Epic Games Store page for the 2020 PC release of Horizon Zero Dawn has been updated, with the game now being listed as ‘unavailable’ for anyone who does not already own the game.

Currently, the PC versions of Zero Dawn on Steam and GOG are still available to purchase – but likely not for long.

As mentioned, there is a cheap $10 upgrade path for the 10s of millions of players who already own the game, but it seems as though following the release of the remaster, new players may not be able to purchase the original version of Horizon Zero Dawn.

Hopefully this is not the case. We will have to wait and see whether this was simply an error, or if the Steam and GOG versions are next on the chopping block.
