Your passion, fan art, cosplay, virtual photography, and videos have meant the world to all of us. While the decision to move the game’s launch to 2022 certainly wasn’t easy, we’d like to take a moment to thank all of our fans for their unwavering support we know how much you’ve been looking forward to reuniting with Aloy and her friends, continuing her story, and exploring a new and more dangerous world. Pre-orders start on September 2, 2021, so look out for more information on that next week. Today we are delighted to confirm that our long-awaited sequel is coming to both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 on February 18, 2022. It’s no surprise that our teams were hugely impacted by the global pandemic we have been adjusting to new workflows, protocols, and other challenges, while keeping our teams safe and prioritizing a healthy work/life balance. It’s been a few months since we shared the first Horizon Forbidden West gameplay experience during State of Play, where we showed you a glimpse of where Aloy’s journey will take her next and showcased exciting new elements like swimming, free climbing, expanded melee combat, and more.Īt that time, Horizon Forbidden West had just passed a major milestone and we had entered the final stage of development on track, but a bit uncertain if we’d be able to polish the game to the level of quality we strive for.
