Horizon Forbidden West State of Play Revealed for Later This Week

Written by Brandon Hofer on May 25, 2021

News: We are finally going to see some gameplay from Horizon Forbidden West captured on a PS5 and, hopefully, we’ll be playing it later this year.

Sony has revealed that there is a new State of Play taking place this week and this time they will be showing some more of Horizon Forbidden West. This State of Play will feature the gameplay reveal for the sequel to Horizon Zero Dawn. Sony has stated this State of Play will last approximately 20 minutes with 14 of those minutes being in-game action, captured directly from the PlayStation 5.

If you aren’t familiar with Horizon Forbidden West, the overview from Sony is as follows:

”Join Aloy as she braves the Forbidden West – a majestic but dangerous frontier that conceals mysterious new threats.

Explore distant lands, fight bigger and more awe-inspiring machines, and encounter astonishing new tribes as you return to the far-future, post-apocalyptic world of Horizon.

The land is dying. Vicious storms and an unstoppable blight ravage the scattered remnants of humanity, while fearsome new machines prowl their borders. Life on Earth is hurtling towards another extinction, and no one knows why.

It's up to Aloy to uncover the secrets behind these threats and restore order and balance to the world. Along the way, she must reunite with old friends, forge alliances with warring new factions and unravel the legacy of the ancient past – all the while trying to stay one step ahead of a seemingly undefeatable new enemy.”

Check out the video Sony released a while back for Horizon Forbidden West and then be sure to tune in on Thursday for the gameplay reveal. It will take place on Twitch or YouTube at 9AM PDT / 5PM BST / 6PM CEST for the special State of Play Pre-Show, and at 2PM PDT / 10PM BST / 11PM CEST for the Horizon Forbidden West gameplay reveal.
