Horizon Forbidden West: Release Date, Platforms, Gameplay & More

Millions of PlayStation players worldwide are desperately waiting to continue Aloy’s journey across the western United States.

Horizon Zero Dawn fans have many burning questions in mind regarding the sequel’s release date, platforms, and more. That’s why, in this post, we’ve mentioned everything we know about Horizon Forbidden West. So, let’s dive right into the interesting part.

Horizon Forbidden West Release Date

It’s confirmed that Horizon Forbidden West will release in 2021. However, right now, there is no exact release date for the sequel.

Interestingly, Guerrilla Games confirmed that the devs are slowing down on Horizon Zero Dawn’s PC updates to focus on Horizon Forbidden West. So, let’s hope, like Hogwarts Legacy, this one doesn’t get pushed back to 2022 as well.

Platforms: Will Horizon Forbidden West Be On PS4?

Sonya and Guerrilla Games confirmed that Horizon Forbidden West would arrive for both PS4 and PS4. So, PS4 players won’t have to switch to PS5 to enjoy the sequel of one of the best PlayStation exclusive titles.

Interestingly, according to the developers, Horizon Forbidden West will make full utilization of PS5’s SSD to get rid of loading screens. So, the game will start as soon as you boot the game. Also, you won’t have to wait when you fast travel from one checkpoint to another.

Talking about platforms, we won’t see Horizon Zero Dawn 2 on PC right away. Initially, the developers will focus on releasing the game only for PS4 and PS5. However, maybe after a few years, devs will port the sequel to PC.

Moreover, Aloy will go against majestic machines and enemies while exploring the strange and beautiful world.

There are some rumors that, unlike the first game, Horizon Zero Dawn 2 will feature Co-op. However, there is still no confirmation that Horizon Forbidden West will be multiplayer.
