Will include Burning Shores expansion
Horizon Forbidden Westwill follow its predecessorHorizon Zero Dawnaway from former PlayStation exclusivity with a PC release early next year.
Forbidden West boasts a bigger map to explore than Zero Dawn, along with mounted combat, the ability to glide across the land and new underwater areasthat look very, very pretty indeedthanks to Guerrilla Games' mighty fine Decima engine. Of course, all the things you’ll remember from Zero Dawn are here too, with plenty of opportunities to squat in patches of grass and shoot arrows at robots before whacking them in melee combat.
As with Zero Dawn’s PC release, Forbidden West will arrive on PC in a Complete Edition, bundling the main game together with its Burning Shores expansion set along the world’s even-more-hellish vision of Los Angeles. There’ll be some extra costumes, weapons and other bits you can unlock in-game too.
Handling the PC port will be developers Nixxes Software, who worked to bring fellow PS5 flagshipRatchet & Clank: Rift Apartto PC over the summer. While Zero Dawnhad a slightly rocky transition to PC, with noted performance problems at launch, Nixxes’ work on Rift Apart appears to bepositively received by all accounts.
