Is Horizon Forbidden West coming out this year? Unfortunately we still don't know for sure, and there was no release date — or release window — to be found in the title's new gameplay video. However, writing on the official PlayStation Blog, developer Guerrilla Games sheds a bit of light on the situation.
"We don’t have an exact release date yet," says the studio. "But development is on track and we’ll have an update for you very soon." Safe to say we'll be keeping an eye out!
Of course, "very soon" could mean anything, but it suggests that we're getting meaningful information in the near future. Knowing Sony and its recent unpredictability, it'll probably just drop a release date out of nowhere, and that'll be that.
Do you think Forbidden West will hit PlayStation in 2021? Place your bets on a date in the comments section below.

I don’t know about this Horizon Forbidden West, I care more about when Horizon: Forbidden West is releasing.
Another banger from Sony first party! Take my money! Take my money now!!!
Hope it releases December 7th, so I can pick it up on the same trip as Dying Light 2.
@nessisonett Don't you dare
@ShogunRok The colon argument is back. Because if Horizon is the series name after all then the colon is correct!
Well I’m guessing this is their Christmas game for this year, because they haven’t showed anything else this complete and looking ready for this year.
I hoping for this year looked amazing.
not gonna happen of course but watch sony reveal the date at summer games fest.
@nessisonett It's like those people who spell Spider-Man as either "Spider Man" or "Spiderman"
I bet they're going to reveal the release date either through a random blogpost one day or the inevitable summer Sony showcase.
@nessisonett NO!
My guess is earlier than December. Maybe as early as September.
It depends what state the base ps4 version is in. I'm sure they won't release it buggy, so it will be about optimising that bad boy!
That literally blew my mind. Back when I saw the Ratchet and Clank State of Play, I thought nothing will look this good for a long while yet. Then Forbidden West comes along and, well, it’s gone one better. If PS5 games are looking this good only a few months into the new generation, just imagine how they’ll look, and what they’ll play like, a few years from now. Especially projects from the likes of Naughty Dog.
The future’s bright, the future’s blue!
@nessisonett It's Horizon II Forbidden West.
The Roman numeral is pulling double duty as a colon.
@TheFrenchiestFry , that’s why I just use Spidey. I do, however, know there is supposed to be a hyphen.
@Enuo Like Soul II Soul? Or Boyz II Men actually as well. So Horizon is following 90s RnB rules.
I think they're waiting for Nintendo to announce the new Switch revision to avoid it releasing on the same day as BotW 2.
@nessisonett Nothing wrong with that
Hopefully an update very soon suggests an upcoming Sony event in June.
I am just glad it is this amazing... now they can take their time finishing it.
cant wait... another 10 out of 10 for me I'm sure.
do yourself a favor.. if you haven't played HZD yet do it! It's amazing and the DLC is awesome to. If this does come out this year just give it GotY
I assume Sony have something big planned where they will give dates for this and God of War among other things
I want to see more on how it runs on PS4. It might be able to be the killer app that gets me to buy a PS5 (assuming I can find a PS5), but if it runs well on PS4, I'll wait longer.
Looks insane as expected. But if you've played HZD just once or haven't beaten it yet and are over here getting hyped for this, you're special. Go back and play that classic which is here NOW and on your hard disk! On my 3rd playthrough.
Hope it does come out this year but I'm not banking on it put it that way.
@stefan771 We can hope! I like having things to look forward to!
I'm guessing not a lot of the big AAA third party titles are locked down yet so they wanna wait and see what those are before setting a release date away from them
@Residentsteven My guess is, Breath of the Wild took your attention. Still, it's 2021 you should've appreciated HZD's class by now 😒
@TheFrenchiestFry Both are incorrect, its Spider-Man
@jdv95 I predict they will announced the release date sometime this Summer, just probably not during E3 or Summer Games Fest.
However I would love to be proven wrong, of course!
(Yes I know they won't be at E3/aren't hosting their own E3 event)
Can't wait for this. What they've shown so far was amazing.
