The Horizon curse appears to show no sign of stopping, as the Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered release date continues the series' tradition of clashing with massive franchise releases.
Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered was officially unveiled during last night's PlayStation State of Play. Its existence wasn't a huge surprised - the project leaked via the ESRB and had already been rumored as far back as 2022. What did come as a surprise, however, was its October 31 - the same day as Dragon Age: The Veilguard.
It didn't take fans long to note that that's just another entry in what's quickly becoming known as the 'Horizon Curse'. All three of the mainline releases (i.e. not VR spin-off Call of the Mountain or Lego mash-up Horizon Adventures) have released extremely close to a major RPG, often one from a series far more established than Aloy's.
None of this has had too damaging an effect on Aloy - the Horizon franchise has shipped more than 32 million sales, with "millions more" having played the game via services like PlayStation Plus. With spin-offs, remasters, and sequels all under their belt, the Horizon Curse isn't too likely to upset developer Guerilla, but perhaps it'll look for a slightly more empty release window for whatever its next game is.
