The Horizon Forbidden West release date has been revealed, along with a delay to 2022.

Earlier today at the Gamescom Opening Night Live, it was revealed that Horizon Forbidden West would release on February 18, 2022. While it's nonetheless disappointing that the highly anticipated sequel has been delayed out of launching this year, we finally have a firm release date to go on for Guerrilla's game.

At the showcase itself, game director Mathijs de Jonge made a brief appearance in a pre-recorded presentation. During the presentation itself, the developer stated that while development on the sequel was progressing smoothly, no one could ultimately predict the future during a global pandemic.
