In news that was honestly expected by all PlayStation fans, it has been announced that Horizon Forbidden West will now be releasing on the 18th February 2022 with pre-orders to go live on September 2nd 2021:
For owners of Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Zero Dawn: Complete Edition a surprise patch that allows the games to run at 60 frames-per-second on PlayStation 5. It will still be running the game in backwards compatibility, but update 1.53 enables the feature and can be downloaded right now.
There was no new trailer with gameplay so just this news, we can probably expect to see more later this year perhaps but this does leave a very massive hole in the PlayStation release schedule for the rest of 2021, with only the Death Stranding: Director’s Cut Edition, Deathloop and Kena: Bridge of Spirits all releasing in September, the release schedule for Sony Studio exclusives to round out 2021 is rather seriously lacking.
