Sony is featuring one of its biggest upcoming PlayStation games, Horizon: Forbidden West, during its State of Play today, May 27. The showcase comes ahead of E3, Ubisoft Forward, and Summer Game Fest in June. If you need to get caught up before you watch it, we also have some details you'll want to know. There will be a very extensive look at new gameplay. [Update: The stream is now over, and it delivered a lengthy Horizon Forbidden West gameplay video, but no release date.]
The entire segment is 20 minutes long, so it seems there will be about six minutes of presumably commentary from the developers, though we don't know for sure. It could also feature some footage we've seen before.
"This reveal has been a true team effort and we're very excited to show you what we have in store," game director Mathijs de Jonge said. "Whether you've been with us and Aloy since Horizon Zero Dawn or are only just getting to know this incredible world, we want to share this huge milestone with you and cannot wait to see your favorite moments and reactions."
Horizon: Zero Dawn released in February 2017, with an expansion called The Frozen Wilds debuting in November of that year. Sony expanded the game even more in August 2020 when the company released it on PC.
Forbidden West takes protagonist Aloy to the western coast of post-apocalyptic America, where she will face new threats and make new allies. The Guerrilla-developed sequel is one of the last Sony exclusives announced that will be on both PS5 and PS4.
Forbidden West is apparently scheduled to release in 2021, but Sony has yet to announce a specific release date.
