PlayStation Plus will add Horizon Forbidden West

Plus, The Quarry and Resident Evil 7

Published

PlayStation Plus is one of the most convenient ways to grab new games for a fraction of the price. Subscribers can play a wide variety of titles for a monthly fee. Quite often, the lineup features notable classics that are well worth the price of admission. Later this month, the gallery is adding another banger: Horizon Forbidden West.

Released around a year ago, Horizon Forbidden West continues the story of Aloy in a post-apocalyptic America featuring robot dinosaurs. Much like the first entry in the series, the title showcases the best of what the PlayStation 5 (and, in Horizon Zero Dawn’s case, the PlayStation 4) can accomplish.

Unfortunately, though the title was a success in its own right, Horizon Forbidden West launched around the same time as last year’s game of the year, Elden Ring. If you haven’t played the game yet, now is the best time to do so.

Sony has confirmed that Horizon Forbidden West is coming to PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium starting on February 21. Subscribers can grab the title for no extra charge.

If that’s not enough of a reason to play, the title will also release a PlayStation 5-exclusive DLC, Burning Shores, in April. Additionally, the franchise will release a VR-exclusive Horizon Call of the Mountain.

Besides the RPG, the subscription service will also get The Quarry and Resident Evil 7 next week.

Horizon Steel Frontiers is an MMO set in the Horizon universe

The game is built for mobile but will have cross-play gameplay with PC.

Published

A few months ago, Sony sued Tencent for copying design elements from the Horizon series for the latter’s upcoming game, Light of Motiram. Though the game has been relatively silent since the kerfuffle, was Tencent on to something? Today, Sony and a Korean studio named NCSoft have officially announced Horizon Steel Frontiers, an MMO set in the Horizon universe.

It’s not just a simple announcement either. The title now has an official 10-minute video to preview the upcoming title. Right now, the trailer has nothing but cinematics, pre-alpha footage, and developer interviews. However, it’s a clear commitment to bringing the MMO to life.

Both the cinematics and the pre-alpha footage show off the familiar mechanical beasts of the series. The main goal of the title is to team up with other players and take down colossal beasts.

The game is set in the Deathlands, a new region inspired by Arizona and New Mexico. Players will have the entire state to play with. And, instead of Aloy, they can create their own personalized characters.

Horizon Steel Frontiers is built for smartphones. However, Sony and NCSoft are working towards cross-platform gameplay for the PC.

Right now, especially since the released footage is from pre-alpha development, we don’t know when the MMO will launch. However, it does look extremely exciting for fans of the original duology.
