It wasn’t too long ago that players were treated to a big
glimpse of Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. Well, turns out that’s not the only
huge PlayStation exclusive game worth getting excited for, as today Sony has
announced that a new State of Play will stream this Thursday – with an explicit
new look at Horizon Forbidden West.
Announced earlier today via the Official PlayStation Blog,
the game’s director Mathis de Jonge revealed that “you’ll be seeing about 14
minutes of brand new in-game action featuring our heroic protagonist Aloy, all
captured directly on PlayStation 5”. This will mark the very first time we’ve
seen Aloy’s next open-world adventure in action, as before our best glimpse at
the game only came via trailers containing voiceover and pre-rendered cut
scenes.
The Horizon Forbidden West State of Play livestream kicks
off here in the UK at 10pm BST, so you’ll need to set your clocks ahead of then.
While the showcase will display the first-party exclusive running on a super
swanky PS5, don’t forget that Forbidden West is also slated to release simultaneously
on PlayStation 4. Unlike the last State of Play that focused on Rift Apart,
therefore, this is an event the entire PlayStation community may want to pay
attention to.
Horizon Forbidden West was initially revealed in the middle
of last year, where we got a name for the game and a rough location of where
Aloy’s next open-world-em-up will take here. One crucial piece of information
we’re still without, however, is a hard release date. Could Thursday’s
livestream finally let us know when we should expect the game to arrive? We’d
say there’s a strong chance. If not then, this year’s digital E3 presentation
is now only around the corner.
We’ll be sure to write up a dedicated post featuring all the
new Horizon Forbidden West information we learn following Thursday’s State of
Play event. Until then, let’s reminder ourself how beautiful the game looks in last
year’s launch trailer:
