Horizon Forbidden West, developed by the Netherlands-based game company Guerilla Games, was among the most anticipated games of this year. The game, which was released on February 18, 2022 and is the sequel to Horizon Zero Dawn, received acclaim from the players with its release.
In addition, there was a strange discussion on social media a few days before this game, which is exclusive to PlayStation, was released. As we have conveyed to you, an actress expressed why Aloy, the female main character in the series, has hair on her face and that this should not happen. As you can imagine, this comment received serious backlash. In addition to such an interesting event, it should be noted that the number of those who like the game and are curious about whether a new game will come is quite high. Now there has been a development in this regard.
Third game coming
The news has shown that Guerilla Games may already be working on a sequel to Horizon Forbidden West. The game’s creative director, Mathijs de Jonge, in a statement to VG247, drew attention to the open-ended ending of Horizon Forbidden West and stated that this was done for the upcoming games of the series.
As you can imagine, Jonge’s statements did not give any further details about the next game. However, this statement excited the fans by confirming that the new game of the series, which managed to reach millions of sales, will meet with us in the coming years. In addition, Jonge emphasized that the main theme of the game is ‘mystery’ and said, “We have many stories that we can use to develop new stories and create new mysteries from what we have already established. This gives our team a lot of things to work on,” he added.
As we mentioned, Horizon is a game that is considered quite successful because it has sold over 20 million copies and is loved by the players. For this reason, we can say that Guerilla Games’ intention to continue the series is not surprising. It should also be noted that there are no details about when the new game will be released. Horizon Forbidden West debuted 5 years after Horizon Forbidden Dawn due to delays.
