While a sequel to Guerrilla’s 2017 release ofHorizon Zero Dawnhas always seemed to be in the cards, it looks as though Sony might have much larger plans in store for the relatively new IP.
In a new report fromVGC, it is said that multiple sources have indicated thatHorizon Zero Dawnis planned to become a full-blown trilogy. Guerrilla reportedly always had extensive plans in mind for theHorizon Zero Dawnuniverse and was said to have already written a script in multiple parts if future sequels were greenlit by those at Sony. After the game had an extremely strong showing at market, havingsold over 10 million copies to date, Sony has seemingly now moved forward with these plans to make multiple sequels.
As for the upcoming installment in this now supposed saga, Guerrilla has beenhard at work forHorizon Zero Dawn 2for awhile now. Planned to release on Sony’s next-gen console the PS5,HZD2is said to be much larger in scope and will also boast co-op functionality. Whether or not the co-op is tied to the game’s main story or instead a separate game mode isn’t known, however.
Considering Sony’s massive plans forHorizon Zero Dawnnow, it shouldn’t come as a shock that the publisher has also decided tobring the first game in the series to PClater this year. While this move by Sony to bring a first-party game to PC is somewhat unprecedented, it seems to verify that the company is now trying to generate as much interest as it can in this franchise, especially if two ensuing sequels are now in the cards.
While a release window forHorizon Zero Dawn 2still isn’t known, the sequel seems like a good candidate to be fully revealed whenever Sony begins talking more about the PS5 and its forthcoming next-gen titles. Based onprevious reports, Sony could be planning to talk more about the upcoming console next month, but no such event has been announced just yet.
