That cryptic blog post isn’t the only thing that hints at a new location - the game’s name practically gives it away. Numerous other animals are infected with this plague, hinting that it could play a big part in the upcoming title.Īn official statement on the PlayStation Blog says that this new chapter will continue “Aloy’s story as she moves west to a far-future America to brave a majestic, but dangerous frontier where she’ll face awe-inspiring machines and mysterious new threats.” It’s not much help when determining the story, but it does hint at the game’s new location. Aloy examines the deadly new flora near the body of a dying fox in the trailer. There also seems to be some strange red plant that’s causing the death of nearby wildlife. Aloy doesn’t look much older than she did in the first installment, so we’ll go out on a limb and say Forbidden West takes place shortly after Zero Dawn. Aloy’s voice can be heard stating that it has been “1,000 years since the Old Ones fell,” but since the entire timeline of the Horizon series is a bit murky, it’s hard to pinpoint exactly when this new title is taking place. Unfortunately, the trailer doesn’t reveal much about the story of Forbidden West. Here’s an in-depth breakdown of the announcement trailer. It is possible that the same could be true for this sequel, but if so we wouldn’t expect to even hear about plans to port the game over for several years. The original Horizon Zero Dawn also came to PC, though many years later. Naturally, we can expect some differences between these versions, but the extent of which remains to be seen. The exclusivity is no surprise considering the developers are completely owned by Sony, but some are hesitant about the game being made for the current and previous generation of hardware. Horizon Forbidden West was announced as a cross-generational game, meaning that it will be available on both the PS4 and PS5. Horizon Forbidden West is set to launch on February 18, 2022. We’ve pieced together clues found in the trailer, hints from the previous game, plus the recent State of Play event focused purely on the game, and even speculation from around the web to give you all the information we currently have about Horizon Forbidden West.
But with only one trailer under its belt, there’s still a lot we don’t know about the upcoming title for both PS4 and PS5.
Players will once again be jumping into the shoes of Aloy as she grapples with gigantic mechanical beasts and tries to uncover the secrets of her mysterious world. Sony and Guerrilla Games finally announced Horizon Forbidden West, the highly anticipated sequel to 2017’s Horizon Zero Dawn.
