Ahead of Horizon Forbidden West’s Feb. 18 release, a new gorgeous cinematic trailer arrives to show off new environments and enemies.
Coming in at roughly a minute, the CGI trailer shows Aloy moving through different environments, like an ice biome, and even highlights that she can now move underwater as well. All the while she fights some of the machines that players will encounter in their dangerous journey out west, such as the Clawstriders and the Snapmaws, a new crocodile-like enemy which she quickly dispatches.
The trailer was accompanied by an announcement from PlayStation head Hermen Hulst, who directed Horizon Zero Dawn when he still head of Guerilla Games, that the original title had sold over 20 million copies on both PS4 and PC and was played for more than a billion hours. Horizon Zero Dawn initially released on PS4 nearly five years ago in 2017 before arriving on PC in 2020.
These numbers would make Horizon Zero Dawn one of PlayStation’s best-selling first-party titles and shows great promise for the potential of its quickly approaching and highly-anticipated sequel. In the lead up to release, Guerilla and PlayStation have shown off tons of Horizon Forbidden West, including how it runs on PS4 and PS4 Pro, and some of the story that will bring us out west. This is going to be a big one, folks.
