Horizon: Zero Dawn is unquestionably one of the PlayStation 4's most important releases of 2017; Guerrilla Games' stunning open world adventure is something that Sony's keen to turn into a real blockbuster, and thankfully, it looks like it has all the right ingredients.
The title's due on the 28th February in North America, and it was supposed to be set for the 1st March in the UK - a date that Sony had actually pushed forward. However, the UK PlayStation Store now has the game pegged for launch on the 3rd March, which was the title's original, original release date. Of course, this may just effect the digital version of the game, or it may even just be an error. We imagine that Sony will put out an official statement in the very near future if it has indeed been kicked back a couple of days.
In the meantime, let us know if you're looking forward to smashing up robot dinosaurs in the comments section below.

Sounds like a PlayStation Store error to me.
An official statmen for only 2 day of difference?
Does it matter? 2/3 day's isn't a lot really is it?! But I'm gonna wait for the YouTube reviewers before buying.... not having another "No Mans Sky" lmao
I'm a little cynical about release dates in general nowadays, so a two day delay isn't a big deal. I'll definitely be picking it up at some point, but it depends on two things: how it runs on the standard ps4, and how good the actual game is. Hopefully it's an uncharted 4 as opposed to an order 1886. If it's the latter then I'm going to wait till the price drops.
A Wednesday date (1st March) would tie-in with the PS Store update, however, games generally come out on a Friday anyway in the UK so a couple of extra days won't be out of the norm.
Better than being cancelled
I would expect it to be a technical error on the store - maybe someone hasn't updated the info. It makes no sense to delay it a few more days after moving it forward. I don't understand why Europe has to have a slight delay in release dates. I know it may have more languages to cater for but I still don't know why they can't release simultaneously.
@DLB3 Apparently there's a new trailer coming this week.
I wouldn't moan over a couple of days.
Prr order and get it early? No refunds.
A slight delay is better than a cancelling of Exclusives(cough, cough Microsoft)
Probably just an error. Though I do have to say...
@Midzark It's a lot when there's potentially no reason for it. Silly analogy, but just for fun: If you and another customer both ordered the same meal at the same time at a restaurant, yet yours took 2 days longer to arrive, you'd be angry and confused. Mainly angry.
Now imagine if, in many cases at least, all they had to do to get either of your meals out was just press a button and they materialise on your plates. For some reason, they intentionally put off pressing that button for you for 2 days. (This applies both to digital copies in a more direct sense, but also to physical copies since they're in stores and warehouses for some time before the actual release date so it's just like flicking a metaphorical switch and saying "And now you can sell this disc!")
Oh, and they're also charging you more for your meal because they "care about delivering a unique experience to our customers" or some mind-bendingly unrelated claptrap like that. That said, you can't argue with @Carl-G, .
