Horizon: Zero Dawn joins Uncharted and God of War as an iconic Sony franchise

It turns out a girl with a bow and arrow can do alright for herself in a world filled with giant killer robots.

Horizon: Zero Dawn is PlayStation 4’s newest exclusive, coming out on February 8 (I played it on a PlayStation 4 Pro, the updated version of Sony’s console that displays games in 4K). It’s also one of Sony’s most important exclusives yet for the system since it launched in 2013. Horizon is the start of a new franchise. Its success could give the PlayStation brand another series to rely on for decades to come.
