Horizon: Forbidden West delay is official — launches February 18

Horizon: Forbidden West is coming to PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 on February 18. Sony confirmed the delay into next year during today’s Gamescom’s Opening Night Live broadcast. You can begin preordering Guerrilla Games’ open-world adventure on September 2.

Horizon was only ever tentatively planned to launch in 2021. And when Sony debuted gameplay at a State of Play event over the summer, it was clear that the game could end up launching in early 2022. Then in July, I reported that the game was moving into 2022, and Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier corroborated that with his own sources.
