We’ve known for some time now that a sequel to Horizon Forbidden West is in development alongside a Horizon multiplayer game, but now we know that Horizon 3 is seemingly not releasing first. When might each game come out and what does this mean for the franchise? Let’s talk about it.
Last week was a bit rough for PlayStation. The same day they released Astro Bot to rave reviews across the industry, Sony shut down Concord, their latest attempt at breaking into the live-service space. A small community of fans might have enjoyed Concord during its two weeks on the market (myself included), however, with estimates of abysmal sales across PS5 and PC and an equally tragic amount of players, the game was dead on arrival. It’s left the future of Concord and its developer Firewalk Studios up in the air as they plan their next move. No matter how you look at the situation, this sort of failure is unprecedented in the games industry, especially for PlayStation which prides itself on releasing high-quality games. With more live-service games in development across their first-party teams, the question has to be asked: In a time where the live-service bubble is bursting, what chance of success do these other games have and what’s Sony’s strategy going forward?

Guerilla’s hit game Horizon Zero Dawn is getting DLC later this year called The Frozen Wilds. It appears as if Aloy is going to remain the playable character in this episode, so fans of her can rejoice. It releases later this year.

Sony gave us a brand new demo for the recently delayed Horizon: Zero Dawn and it impressed me even more than I expected it to. We got to see how you’re able to ride the machines in the world, some crafting, a boss fight, and dialogue choices. It sucks that the game got delayed because I want this game NOW.
Horizon: Zero Dawn comes out on February 28, 2017.

At long last we’ve come to the last stop on our Road to E3 2016. Sony will be the final press conference of the show, and they are sure to have a great show. Last year they brought the heat with The Last Guardian, Final Fantasy VII Remake, and Shenmue III, so expectations are astronomically high for them this year. Without further ado, let’s take a nice look at what Sony has in store for us.

Guerrilla Games’ highly anticipated Horizon Zero Dawn was announced at E3 last year, so it’s only appropriate that we get a brand new trailer for the game a week before E3 this year. The trailer focuses on our main character Aloy and her backstory, while also showing off how beautiful this game is. It’s crazy how it even rivals Uncharted 4 in terms of visuals at this early stage of development. Then again, Guerrilla Games is known for making gorgeous games. Too bad the game has been delayed to next year though, but the wait is sure to be worth it.
