    Horizon 3: the sequel to Forbidden West already in the pipes? The developer's response
    Available since February 18 on PS4 and PS5, Horizon 2: Forbidden West has clearly been a critical success. Impressive visually, the game has above all been able to correct the flaws of its predecessor, particularly with regard to the combat system and the exploration phases. While waiting to find out if it will do as well as the 20 million copies sold posted by Zero Dawn, it seems that Guerrilla Games already has a clear idea of ​​​​the direction that a possible Horizon 3 could take - which, among many fans , sounds like a no-brainer after the final outcome of Horizon 2: Forbidden West. In any case, this is what Mathijs de Jonge, the director of the title, understands to our colleagues from VG247 in the context of a recent interview.


    “Horizon is a series that is based mainly on mysteries, he explains. Each of our stories is based on the discovery of mysteries concerning both the old world and the time in which the game takes place. still a whole bunch of elements that we could use in order to develop new stories and new mysteries around those that we have already posed. Indeed, the game ends on a huge cliffhanger which already allows to set up certain things in view of the next episode."

    Moreover, Guerrilla Games had already done the same for Horizon: Zero Dawn. "There is a conclusion to the story of the first episode, but Aloy does not manage to solve all the problems present in the scenario, underlines Mathijs de Jonge. The terraforming system still needs to be repaired, and that is the starting point of Forbbiden West. We knew that the game needed to take place in a new place, especially since we alluded to the forbidden West in Zero Dawn. It's a name that evokes both mystery and danger, which is why we wanted to explore it. And then we wanted to continue to tap into the elements of the old world. There was still a lot of work to do, so knowing that 'we also had to know how Aloy's arc was going to evolve."

    We don't know about you, but a Horizon 3 on PS5, we sign right away. For the record, our Horizon 2: Forbidden West test can be found at this address.
