Watch 14 minutes of stunning Horizon Forbidden West gameplay
Sony showed new footage at the State of Play show
Sony performed 14 minutes of Horizon Forbidden West gameplay on PS5 in a new state of play presentation on Thursday. In the footage, the protagonist Eloy battles against some giant animal-like machines and some human enemies on a beautiful post-apocalyptic beach.
The presentation revealed that Aloy has some new equipment to roam the forbidden west, such as a diving mask to make her dive underwater and breathe the hang glider like a wild. And like the first game, it looks like you'll still be hitting a lot of arrows against your enemies, both human and machine.
Horizon Forbidden West, the sequel to the hugely successful Horizon Zero Dawn, is expected to be one of Sony's biggest titles this year, especially given that there are still some major PS5 games to look forward to in the near future. The game is also coming to PS4.
We still don't know when it will come out, though. In 2020, developer Guerrilla Games said it is a "goal" to release Forbidden West in 2021, but in a new blog post, Guerrilla's Ben McCaw stated that "we don't yet have an exact release date, but development." Is on track and we will have an update for you very soon. "
