​

Sony's finale to their PlayStation 5 event put the spotlight on a sequel to 2017's Horizon: Zero Dawn, titled Horizon II: Forbidden West. However, unlike most games shown, Forbidden West lacked any form of release window, leading to questions as to whether the game would be available on, or shortly after the console's launch. Just like with Insomniac and Spider-Man: Miles Morales, the team at Guerilla Games has uploaded a trailer describing more about the game and its world. The game director says there will hardly be any load times, whether you're fast traveling or booting up the game, and that the game's world will stretch "from Utah all the way to the Pacific Ocean in the west", leading to a larger map than the original game. Horizon Forbidden West launches sometime in 2021, for the PlayStation 5.

Is a single person surprised by this? I would reasonably expect almost none of the reveals especially the huge ones to be launch titles

They're just strumming up PS5 hype

Not to be a PS5 launch title ? What does that mean ?

 

[shaunj66]

I wouldn't hold my breath on it releasing in 2021 either!

Let's hope they have some decent launch titles for the PS5 besides Spiderman but it seems unlikely

That it does not release in the same timeframe (i.e. week) the PS5 launches.

Ahh, thanks.

 

[RedoLane]

Wait, wasn't that obvious?

 

[Deleted User]

Was to be expected.

I hope it also comes on PS4!

This is a PS5 exclusive. There is a chance for a PC release a few years down the line, but that´s about it.

Ahh thanks what a letdown I guess Sony is going to stop supporting the PS4 so people can buy the PS5!

no point in getting a ps5 at launch than

 

[Lazyboss]

Am I the only one who only cares about Astro's Playroom more than any other games on PS5?

 

[Xzi]

Definitely saw this coming after they announced HZD for PC.

It takes a lot of time to carefully craft a mediocre story

Ratchet and spank hopefully will be :3

 

[Jonnysert]

Horizon Zero Dawn is one of those reasons I got a PS4. After the Forbidden West announcement gotta get a PS5 now.

 

[Aftershock]

It a pity its not a launch title. Hopefully eventually it will come to PC.
