Horizon Forbidden West has been delayed to early 2022 according to a report by Bloomberg. The PS5 and PS4 exclusive game had been previously scheduled to be released at the end of the year.
Sony Corp. has delayed the upcoming PlayStation game Horizon Forbidden West to the first quarter of 2022, according to a person familiar with the matter. Previously it had been scheduled for release this holiday season.
Horizon Forbidden West is an open-world action-adventure game and the sequel to the critically acclaimed PlayStation 4 exclusive Horizon Zero Dawn, which sold more than 10 million copies following its release in 2017. The sequel is planned for both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 consoles.
The setback is the latest in a year that has been full of delays across the industry, including one of Sony’s other big PlayStation exclusives, the untitled sequel to 2018’s God of War. Covid-19 has caused production challenges, forcing developers to work from home for months, but the pandemic has also provided a cover for developers to bump games that were facing obstacles regardless.
