Horizon Forbidden West Not Guaranteed To Release Within Its 2021 Timeframe

It has­n’t been that long since the devel­op­er Guer­ril­la Games showed off 14 min­utes of game­play footage from Hori­zon For­bid­den West, and now some dis­ap­point­ing news has sur­faced about the title.

PlaySta­tion Stu­dios boss Her­man Hulst stat­ed in an inter­view on the PlaySta­tion Blog that For­bid­den West should release this hol­i­day, but that’s not a guar­an­tee. “For Hori­zon, we think we are on track to release this hol­i­day sea­son. But that isn’t quite cer­tain yet, and we’re work­ing as hard as we can to con­firm that to you as soon as we can,” Hulst said.

Hulst quote was all he had to say about the mat­ter, with Guer­ril­la games not com­ment­ing on the sit­u­a­tion at all. Any num­ber of rea­son could be cause for a delay, as the world is just now start­ing to come out COVID-19 pandemic.

While For­bid­den West did look good dur­ing the its State of Play show­case, this does­n’t mean the game is ready to be shipped. When­ev­er it is ready, it will be avail­able on PlaySta­tion 4 and PlaySta­tion 5.

Anoth­er high-pro­file PlaySta­tion title, the God of War sequel, has seen an unfor­tu­nate fate. Sony has delayed the San­ta Mon­i­ca Stu­dio devel­oped game to 2022.
