Horizon Forbbiden West now has an official release date!

After struggles in a development cycle affected by the ongoing pandemic, Aloy will return on February 18, 2022. 

The sequel will see an all-new range of robotic foes for Aloy to take down, and will explore new frontiers in Horizon's post-apocalyptic world. 

It was confirmed that HFW would come to both PS4 and PS5 on release, continuing the trend of cross-gen games as PS5 take-up increases steadily.

Also announced was a PS5 upgrade for Horizon Zero Dawn. Running at 60fps at 4K resolution, it looks truly gorgeous.
