Horizon Forbidden West Delayed to 2022.

According to Bloomberg, Sony has decided to push back the release date of Horizon Forbidden West from this year to the first half of the next. While the publication cites a source familiar with the project, the news indeed confirms Sony’s earlier statements from June. Back then, the company hinted that the open-world sci-fi action game might be delayed to ensure it meets the quality expectations fans have for the franchise. However, Sony has yet to make any official announcements or specify the exact reasons for the delay.

If confirmed, this would mark the latest in a long series of delays this year. Many developers and publishers point to challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly in terms of efficiency as they adapted to remote work settings.
