Aloy returns
It’s perhaps the most obvious of all PlayStation 5 reveals, but Horizon Forbidden West is the latest project from Guerrilla Games, bringing Aloy’s imaginative post-apocalyptic world to Sony’s next-gen console. The trailer shows the heroine embarking on an all-new adventure, filled with robo-dinos and some of the most vibrant grass we’ve ever seen grace a console.

Who's going to pick up that phone? Cos I called that title two years ago!
That little Nora girl has come a long way.
so again the coop rumors where false? because nothing seemed to indicate coop to me. (better be SP only)
One of the best reveals quite frankly. But no release window? For shame
Damn, they've already got a system seller.
I just hope it comes out soon-ish. Early 2021?
Looks pretty, but that is about it for me. Though I would be lying if I said I wasn't interested in what Sylens is trying to do.
The game looks absolutely beautiful. I love the new underwater exploration shown in the trailer.
Probably the most exciting part of the whole event!! A Day 1 purchase!!
This looks superb. Probably the only "must buy" game in the whole event for me.
GG did such a great job with this new IP.
End of 2021 at best I think, I'd say possibly 2022
This really did look incredible though. Loved the underwater bits.
A given but still awesome!
Did anyone else spot Lance Reddick or was I just imagining things?
It looked so pretty, especially the underwater areas.
Wow, looks amazing. Early 2022 I reckon.
That under water bit looked AMAZING but not sure if that was real gameplay or not. If it was then WOW!
This is the game I was waiting the whole hour for..was NOT dissapointed!The first game was my GOTY and this will be too.Looks beautiful.
BOOOOYYYY! I wanted this so bad without even realizing it!
Isn't it Horizon II? I think I saw the number somewhere
@AFCC Yeah, it has a II in the logo, but it's not in the title itself.
Hi there fellow gamers. Guerrila games did not disapoint. OMG, that looks phenomenal. And underwater exploration? With organic machines types? YES PLEASE. System seller, right here. Day one, just like the first. Cheers and happy gaming to everyone.
@Octane that is super weird isn't it?
@AFCC Maybe it's just a little nod to the fact that it's a sequel, without numbering it.
Wish they showed gameplay. The 1st one wasn't good, so I was hoping they learned their lessons and tried to make an actual good game this time.
@FuriousMachine he was there. Kinda had to be given how zero dawn ended
Day One purchase. I'm thinking a 2021 release.
@jdv95
There might be co-op in the game as far as I can tell. Guerrila said that the 2nd game will have co-op. I guess we'll know more closer to release date.
I fully expect a PC version after the PS5 release.
Horizontal Zero Dawn is my favorite game on PS4.
So hyped for the sequel!
This will be ps5 magnum opus, and the swimming section looks really impressive, I can't wait
Don’t know why anyone is surprised. It’s obvious this game was in the making. It was nice to see some footage, but no date... well this is not launch-relative info, at least for me.
There is no way this game even launches in 2021. Any game that felt confident enough to be able to make it for 2021 stated the year. Only Hitman III dared state “January”.
This is also the kind of game you want to release either near June/July or September/October to maximize sales.
My prediction is. At least, September 2022.
@FuriousMachine I thought the same thing! I just finished watching Bosch no less.
Loved the first game.. It is going to be my next one. I still have first game. I dont sell my favourite games like many people does. I keep my favourite games only. Can't wait!
I loved the first one and this looks even better, although it looks great I am always a bit sceptical about underwater levels I have confidence GG will nail it so fingers crossed.
I was planning not to buy a PS5. This is the only game that could change my mind. Horizon is a masterpiece.
@Tharsman @roe @Octane @HollowSpectre No release date or even a vague release window yet sadly. I suspect this will end up being either a Fall/Winter 2021 release, or sometime in 2022.
Hopefully this means the game will be more polished and less buggy upon release, while still delivering an amazing story and gameplay.
@KidBoruto I doubt it. Early 2021 makes sense. They always have a big game in March, April or May, and Horizon 2 is the perfect way to keep the momentum going. I don't think a game like Demon's Souls can fill that role, that feels more like a January or February release to me. And Sony usually has two big games every year, so for 2021 it's Horizon 2 and something else.
@Octane I would love for you to be right about the Early 2021 date, but the fact they did not date the game at all seriously worries me.
@KidBoruto Sony doesn't confirm release dates in advance. I remember that God of War was a big question mark until Sony one day simply said; it's coming in three months from now.
Let's put it this way, what else will they release next year? Because I don't think they want a repeat of the PS4, which was kinda notorious for a lacklustre launch period. No big game at all next year sounds very unlikely to me.
@Octane You've got a very good point there, thanks for the reassurance .
@KidBoruto Yeah, it helps to stay optimistic, disappointments hit way harder
