Horizon Forbidden West is an action role-playing game from Guerilla Games and is the highly-anticipated sequel to Horizon Zero Dawn. Set six months after the ending of the original game, the world is in danger again. A mysterious red blight is spreading across the land, killing anything it touches, and threatening to starve humanity. Aloy must venture into the unknown in the Forbidden West to find out what it is and how to stop it.
Along the way, she will meet new allies, new enemies, and encounter deadly new machines. The original game was released in 2017 for PS4 consoles. Since then, the PS4 Pro and PS5 consoles have made an appearance. Forbidden West is available on both PS4 and PS5 consoles, so can you upgrade your older version to the next-gen version?
