A new report indicates Guerrilla Games’ sequel to their critically acclaimed 2017 title “Horizon: Zero Dawn” is looking likely to be a PS5-exclusive, not backwards compatible with the PS4, along with being the second title in a planned trillogy.
VGC reports that the project is “gigantic in scope with a larger game world and more freedom to explore it than in its predecessor”, while also including an ambitious co-op feature as standard. As a result development has now entirely shifted focus to Sony’s next-generation console.
Guerrilla reportedly had always desired to deliver a series of “Horizon” games, with a multi-part script written, but the plan was only officially agreed to after the original game’s strong debut in 2017.
The games are set on a far-future Earth where nature has reclaimed the planet, and massive animal-like machines rule the land. We follow Aloy, a young woman on a quest to explore the ruins of the ancient past.
The PS5 is due for release around year’s end, no word on when the “Horizon” sequel might score a release.
