Horizon Forbidden West Release Date Officially Delayed To 2022

After weeks of rumors and leaks, it has officially been revealed that Horizon Forbidden West has been delayed to 2022. The rumors regarding Horizon Forbidden West’s delay started appearing at the end of July and they came from reputable sources, yet Guerilla Games and Sony were silent on the issue.

Horizon Forbidden West is just one of the several high-profile delays that have happened in 2021, especially for PlayStation exclusives. It was revealed earlier this year that Gran Turismo 7 was pushed back to 2022, which was followed by the delay of God of War: Ragnarok. These delays are understandable, in the face of the pandemic, which has led to widespread production issues across the entire video game industry.

Horizon Fordbidden West game director Mathius De Jonge has officially confirmed the delay during a segment at Gamescom 2021’s Opening Night Live event, which was further discussed on the official PlayStation Blog. Fans won’t have to wait too long to play the game, however, as it’s coming to PS4 and PS5 on February 18, 2022, with pre-orders going live on September 2. PS5 owners can also experience the original Horizon Zero Dawn at 60fps, following an update that will be revealed later today.

Now that Horizon Forbidden West has been pushed back to 2022, it means that Sony has lost its big PlayStation exclusive for the 2021 holiday season. This has happened just as confirmation comes of Halo Infinite’s December release, giving Microsoft a big holiday exclusive in what is a reverse of what happened to the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S at launch. The fact that Sony can’t keep PS5 systems in stores for more than a few seconds before they sell out means that the company probably isn’t too worried about getting Horizon Forbidden West out for the holidays, as new consoles will sell regardless.

The delay of Horizon Forbidden West isn’t too surprising, as any game that lacks a solid release date at this point in the year is likely going to be pushed back. The early 2022 release date for Horizon Forbidden West means that fans won’t have to wait much longer for the game, and if it results in a stronger product overall, or prevents developers from needing to crunch to meet a deadline, then it’s a welcome change. PS5 owners can at least tide themselves over with the original Horizon Zero Dawn on PS5 while they wait.
