Horizon: Zero Dawn hasn’t really been out long enough to win any awards yet, but it looks like that won’t stop Sony from shipping a Game of the Year edition of the popular role-playing release prior to the holidays. The expected news comes courtesy of an errant Play-Asia listing, which has since been promptly pulled. Probably real, then, eh?
The product page hinted at a 5th December release date, which seems reasonable – although it would miss the all-important Black Friday shopping window. The exclusive’s first DLC pack, The Frozen Wilds, is scheduled to deploy on 7th November, so it’s safe to assume that it will be bundled in as part of the re-print at no extra charge.
As far as gaming rumours go, this is probably the most predictable one we’ve ever published, so even if some of the finer details change at a later date, you can pretty much bank on Horizon: Zero Dawn getting re-issued at some point. We absolutely loved the title in our review, so do make sure you add it to your wishlist if you haven’t played it already.

Good thing I haven't gotten it yet, then. I'll probably wait for this if it's true.
Ah yes. Time for everyone to start chucking out Game of the Year editions regardless of whether they win anything.
Ironically that ones that do win, normally don't do that. XD
If the DLC is on the disk ill double dip.
Already pre-ordered the DLC...
If this is true then that probably means The Frozen Wilds will be the only DLC.
Glad I didn't pick it up at launch. This will be a great buy next year at $30!
Good thing I waited if this turns out to be true.
@BLP_Software I think GOTY editions have now become the generic title for a release of a game that includes all of the DLC regardless if any awards are won or not.
First Dark Souls 3, next Nioh and now this. Can't wait to wallow in all that saucy content.
Good thing I waited.
Horizon Zero Dawn is not just my goty, but also my game of the generation. Can't wait for Frozen Wilds and the sequels.
@Ralizah exactly what i thought, but no mad though. They did amazing with this, and considering all the kids are playing online games it'll be hard to financially support this game for long.
@BLP_Software Wrong, just look what Blizzard did with Overwatch, a goty edition with nothing new, only new items and stuff like that.
This explains why the original was delisted on the EBgames website, I had a suspicion.
Strange that Horizon gets a GOTY edition before Uncharted 4.
Not surprising, but I was hoping they would go down The Witcher 3 route with 2 expansions.
@Splat That's a good point, actually. I really hope Frozen Wilds isn't the last!
I still need to play this ;_; so maybe it's good thing for me. From what I played of it at a friend's house I liked Aloy and the graphics a lot though I was expecting a RPG and it felt more like an action adventure game with some rpg elements.
@Quintumply @splat To be honest, I have a feeling that Sony will want GG to capitalise on this asap and produce a sequel either for the end of this gen OR as a launch title for the next gen. That might mean only one lot of DLC which seems like it happens a fair bit with Sony exclusives...
Ive not played it yet, still have no desire to to be honest.
I may pick it up in a year or so when its really cheap (if its really cheap), but otherwise Im not too fussed.
Good idea and will do doubt bring in the sales.
Still haven't bought it, so I'll probably pick this up when I do.
Well crap, just started it yesterday. Luckily, the game is just ridiculously awesome. Oh well, I'll exchange it in due time, but only if the dlc is on-disc. I'm a sucker for complete editions on-disc (so screw you, Fallout 4!)
