The developer also revealed some new gameplay clips of protagonist Aloy exploring the world and engaging in battles against enemy machines, with some footage showing the difference between PS5 and PS4 Pro.
Horizon Forbidden West is set to launch on February 18 exclusively for PS5 and PS4 and is a direct sequel to the first game, Horizon Zero Dawn. The open-world game will follow Aloy as she explores a new frontier known as the Forbidden West, a post-apocalyptic version of the western United States. The player will lead a band of companions on a quest into the frontier to find the source of a plague that kills all it infects.
The game, announced in 2020 during Sony’s The Future Of Gaming event, was initially scheduled to launch in 2021 but was delayed to 2022.
In other news, Naughty Dog is reportedly open to the idea of making more Uncharted games.
