Horizon Zero Dawn 2 Teased: ‘Wait Until You See the Sequel’

Star Wars' Actress Janina Gavankar who had a role in the Frozen Wilds DLC accidentally confirms the obvious: Horizon Zero Dawn 2 is happening and it will be something special.

[Neonridr]

No doubt there is a sequel coming. I want to see more of Aloy and her stories.

[blitz0623]

PS5 launch title perhaps?

[DarXyde]

That's setting a pretty high bar early on.

Not that I'm complaining. Personally, I'm most excited about the prospect of something later on in the generation like, say, a full fledged VR- supported Gravity Rush 3.

I think that would make a lot of people sick, but it'd be glorious.

[rainslacker]

@Dark

I think GR would be great with VR. OTOH, I actually got nauseous for the first time from PSVR last night trying the Ace Combat 7 VR missions, and I image GR would be much like that...although maybe not as fast on the turns going every which way. Although, it may have been because I was already a bit under the weather, and it was really hot in the house.

[esemce]

Has to be they need heavy hitters to sell a systems but with the massive PS4 install base it may be PS4/PS5, maybe the same for TLoU2 too. I can't wait.

[bouzebbal]

Now this is huge!!!
I'm just sad no killzone is coming.. I would have been happy for a new episode soon

[PapaBop]

I hope so.. they could showcase it by getting David Attenborough to narrate a trailer for the world, that would be so awesome.

[supes_24]

@rainslacker
Same for me. I’ve played plenty of VR but AC7 VR missions had me pausing the game. Sometimes I hadn’t to quit for the night just to feel better. I usually get over it but not with this. It was crazy!

[deafdani]

Or maybe a PS4 swan song, even. It's doable, if they use the same engine, development time is reduced dramatically. It's been 2 years already since Horizon was released, so Guerrilla Games could be well along development for a sequel if they haven't done anything else since (well, aside from the Frozen Wilds expansion, of course, which was probably already in development before Horizon launched).

[ILostMyMind]

More likely to be a second-year PS5 game.

[81BX]

Sony is in position to have some dope launch titles. I feel this plus socom and last of us 2 would easily be enough at launch

[Casepb]

I'm hoping for a new character. No more boring ol Aloy.

[Foxhound922]

So.Stupid.

[ILostMyMind]

Maybe double the characters.

[nitus10]

A little bit of interesting trivia:

Horizon Zero Dawn is one of a few PS4 games http://www.pushsquare.com/n... that support HDR, so even if you have a first release PS4 if it's output is to a 4K HDR Monitor/TV it should be detected automatically although I do have to stress that HDR auto detection is dependent on the 4K HDR Monitor/TV.

Obviously, if you have a standard PS4 the output will be 1080p but if you have a decent Monitor/TV the image will be upscaled to 4K. I also suggest a version 2.0 or better HDMI cable and they are pretty cheap.

I have a 32" 4K HDR monitor as well as a standard PS4 which detects that it is outputting to a 4K HDR monitor and in the case of Horizon Zero Dawn HDR is automatically enabled. I did try Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and was prompted to allow my PS4 to use HDR so not all games that support HDR automatically send an HDR signal to your display.

HZD has a camera capability and if you are using HDR you will be prompted to turn it off when using the camera mode. This may not be the case for some HDR displays.

[LegendaryKingofGames]

I have a Spider-man PS4 Pro and a 65 inch 4K hdr tv, I can’t wait to play this weekend!

[Jin_Sakai]

“It’s incredible, wait until you see the sequel. You’re gonna die….I know some secrets! – you’re gonna die!“

I can only imagine what this game will look like on PS5.

[ClayRules2012]

Yeah, HZD2 on PS5, I can’t even imagine how it’ll look. The original game has the most impressive lighting system, and the way colors pop, and the amazing foliage on display, it’s a thing of absolute beauty. Reminds me of James Cameron’s “Avatar”

[Moe-Gunz]

HZD2 with FromSoftware difficultly confirmed

[Jin_Sakai]

“HZD2 with FromSoftware difficultly confirmed”

Please no. Some of us don’t like very hard games and just want an enjoyable experience like myself.

[No Way]

It wouldn't even work - they wold lose half their fanbase, lol.

[OB1Biker]

People don't get jokes around here haha

[william_cade]

I heard it was going to be harder than From's games.

[DaDrunkenJester]

Prepare to die edition please

[nitus10]

The original HZD has a difficulty select before and in-game (sort of like Skyrim, The Witcher 3 ... etc). I have tried the hardest difficulty and also the second hardest but could not pick the difference except for the fact that the hardest difficulty forces you to grind since everything is ridiculously expensive.

[EliteComments123]

LoL

[Moe-Gunz]

People it was a joke 🤦🏽‍♂️

[rainslacker]

Suppose it'll look so good that we're going to die from it....

Sign me up though. First one is one of my favorite games this gen. Was a fresh experience, and I loved every minute of it.

[Relientk77]

Yep, can't wait for Horizon Zero Dawn 2. The first is the best new IP this generation if you ask me.

[ClayRules2012]

I can’t imagine Horizon: Zero Dawn 2... The first game is a masterpiece & the most graphically stunning game this generation “in my opinion”

[robtion]

Definately one of the best. Depends if you consider Bloodborne a new IP or not. I guess it's really just an evolution of the souls games.

HZD2 will blow some minds though I'm sure. Guerilla are wizards in the visuals department.

[DarXyde]

Sony has such an impressive array of studios and they each seem to have something about them that makes them great. Guerrilla is probably their most impressive studio in terms of tech, Naughty Dog is perhaps the greatest in terms of narrative and attention to detail (not specifically graphics per se, but nuanced realistic things like scaling a wall with Nathan Drake and if you're holding onto a ledge with one arm positioning to the next, you can actually see the veins in his gripping arm pop more and his muscles shake which, while small, is extremely thoughtful in its own right; wind physics are consistent with all characters present, too), and Polyphony Digital places a remarkable level of research into their product. Despite all of this, Sony Japan is my favorite studio because their games are so visionary and give new life to the notion that games are art.

I don't expect much change in gameplay for a Horizon sequel-- why fix what isn't broken? But I think if Horizon 2 is early generation PS5, expect it to run on Decima and future titles will utilize a Decima 2.0. The visuals on PS5 alone will be something to marvel at. After seeing Ghost of Tsushima run on Pro, I am seriously in awe of what Sony can accomplish.

[maximumspidey]

Best new ip? Weird way to say sekiro

[Gwiz]

Well it's definitely going to be on a new system,I hope a launch window title that would actually make it very tempting to buy it early-on.

[Traecy]

Hopefully early next year!

[jznrpg]

Well everyone believed it was coming this just confirms it. PS5 launch day is most likely the aim for release but might come shortly after

[jukins]

Probably shortly or well after given its top tier status now after selling 10 million. Sony has never had a triple aaa exclusive at launch with the exception of killzone shadow falls which was triple aaa in budget only.

I'd imagine that want to have an install base first and let the indies and multiplats sell consoles then after holiday sales they'd likely at least have a large enough base

[xX-oldboy-Xx]

Almost certain not to be a launch title, they take a loooong time to make - not even launch window. Probably 2nd year on the market, what's the rush?

[Tapani]

I actually liked Killzone Shadow Fall. I thought it was GG’s best Killzone game yet. It had problems, but overall the experience was good. KZ2 was ok, but too gray and repetitive.

[jukins]

Eh I felt kz2 and kz3 (especially with move support) at least multiplayer wise were leaps and bounds better than shadow falls. Shadow falls had amazing graphics yes but imo both gameplay modes just felt disjointed. Multiplayer ended up being spawn camp every match and single player pretended to give you options of how to play in a way but it didn't feel finished.

[Kabaneri]

I think it will release February 2021 a few months after the PS5 launch.

[AK91]

PS5 Launch title?

[Kumakai]

You have my attention.

[BIGWILLDX]

I still haven’t played hzd. I need to.

[bloop]

You do. One of the best games this gen without doubt.

[Lore]

Please make it a deeper rpg with an emphasis on secrets & exploration. First was great but heavily focused on combat

[Blu3_Berry]

Ironically, that was one of my favorite things about Horizon Zero Dawn. The combat was so much fun, especially on harder difficulties where you have to plan your strategies out against the enemies, and boy I loved all the enemy designs. The setting, world, story, combat, enemies, it was all very refreshing and I absolutely loved it.

[indysurfn]

Those dang annoying hawk giants still haunt me in my sleep!

[NarutoFox]

We all know it's coming

[thatguyhayat]

Niceee but i would love a new killzone though

[FunAndGun]

Same here, love some Killzone and the Helghast characters.

[indysurfn]

LOL.....now those are some evil dudes. Errr I mean psychopaths.

[TheHateTheyGive]

Horizon Zero Dawn, god of war, bloodbourne and driveclub have the best console graphics on any platform this gen.

[EliteComments123]

no Spiderman? Resident Evil 2 Remake, Detroit Become Human??

[Juiceid]

This was a game where I was constantly taken about how damn smart the enemy a.i. was.

[Positivelypositive]

Can I please not have to collect every twig I pass every second to have arrows? PLEASE!

[rainslacker]

If you were doing that after a few hours, you were doing something wrong. I was usually having to clean sticks out of my inventory to make room for other stuff.

[indysurfn]

haha....If you meant what you said then reainslacker is right, but if you meant for freeze arrows and fire arrows and rope bombs then I would like slight increase in them. not enough to make the collection no longer relevant but say a 30% increase in them.

[Thundercat77]

Now I only need Bloodborne 2 confirmation.

[jaycptza]

maybe some details on Nioh 2 if they are at it...

[Thundercat77]

Nioh 2 and Ghost of Tsushima!

We are in for an amazing gaming year.

[Blu3_Berry]

I friggen loved the first game, it's honestly one of my top 5 favorite PS4 exclsuives. The combat, story, setting, world, and enemies was really refreshing and I cannot wait for more of it. It was amazing, especially for a brand new IP from the makers of Killzone. It was extremely impressive what they accomplished with Horizon Zero Dawn.

[StormLegend]

HYPE!!!

[outsider1624]

Oh boy! Hopefully we can ride that stormbird this time around. If it dies make it a permanent death, so we have to care for our feathered friend. Kinda like Rdr2's horse bonding but not too much. Don't want to feed him, or brush him etc. Lol

[rainslacker]

God. No. To the "bonding and care" part. Or at least make it an option. It's a robot. The robots are self sustaining. So long as it comes when I call it, and I can snipe enemies with the bow while flying around, I'd be good.

[BioShockGX]

The smart move is to make it a ps4 game and compatible with ps5.
You can't ignore the millions on ps4 and lose sales.

[ziggurcat]

my guess is if this rumour is true, it'll be a similar situation as base PS4 vs. PS4 Pro - game will release as a base PS4/Pro version with PS5 enhancements downloadable if you have the more powerful hardware.

[jaycptza]

This is probably confirmed will sure up the tail end of the PS4 lifecycle. If the drop the price to 200U$ with stuff like this they would murder the competition from beyond the grave so to speak

[Father__Merrin]

Horizon 2 will be one of the greatest games ever made u simply dont get games like this on humble bundle indiegala & fanatical

[ShockUltraslash]

Will it have sexy costumes for the female character?

[microgenius]

It could be huuuuuuuuuuuuge PS5 launch title

[Orionsangel]

Horizon One Dawn and It's sequel Horizon Two Dawn and then Horizon Three Dawn. OMG They're counting down, but to what? Wowzers yo! lol.

[spambot0815]

more weaponvariety please. for example: instead of 3 types of bows, how about 1 bow and 1 crossbow? thanks.

[william_cade]

This one is going to be quality. HZD2 is worth hyping.

[Bronxs15]

It’s a PS4 game and looks great. Will have a ps5 version with better performance graphics. It will utilize all PS4 pro capabilities. And it will be called horizons first dawn. It will have primate robots similar to dawn of the planet of the apes. March 2020. Favourite this post. My friends uncle is in the know. He knows more but won’t tell me.

[MADGameR]

Horizon Zero Dawn 2 should be a PS5 game. That way it REALLY shines and looks it's best. If not then expect a remaster to come to PS5.

[XiNatsuDragnel]

Hype

[Yui_Suzumiya]

Imagine how gorgeous it will be on PlayStation 5.. Omg! 😲

[Shinox]

For how long are people gonna care about realism when the fun aspect in videogames is dying .. ffs wake the hell up

[maximumspidey]

It wasn't even that great. Pretty good at best

[Shinox]

No new Siren
No new Ape Escape
No new Legend of Dragoon
Nope .. let's make ANOTHER relaistic cinematic game
I'm sick of Sony approach in gaming these days , i'm sick of them not investing a penny on most of their abandoned IP's or even a good collaboration on thriving abandoned ip's .. so repetitive and boring with all this cinematic shit

[81BX]

I have the 1st one downloaded but for some reason the childs character build looked fake to me. I've been meaning to get back to it though. After Detroit, I will. Bought detroit... 2 days later goes on sale for $19.99. Lol

[MaxiPower90]

first one wad unreal

[shauzy]

an even emptier and more boring world with lost potential

[CaptainOmega]

I still haven’t finished the first.. I need to get on that.

[Kosic]

I played assassin's creed origins before I played this. I managed to get right near the end of Horizon before putting the game on hold. (felt a tad bored after a good 30+ hours).

I kinda wished Horizon was a little bit more like assassin's creed origins. Random loot generation, random crafting, fill the map with many side quests, even if their just pointless fetch quests.
The game felt huge but felt like you were just running through content just to get from A too B. Pick up some herbs, some sticks and maybe kill a robot every so often.

I remember it took me ages to get a weapon upgrade in this game. Like 15 hours or something to change my starting bow. Then the upgrade was just a vendor weapon, felt disappointing.
Also, the crafting materials, there's way to much off it. Didn't know what half of it did so I just ignored it and sold it when I hit my bag limit.

Anyways for the second one, hope they make weapons more rewarding, random loot generation. Mini bosses that reward you with a specific crafting piece etc.
More armour pieces to make, find etc. Better gems. Better creative talents.

Don't just throw everything at a vendor and be done with it. It was an epic adventure but was held back by shard collecting.
