Horizon Forbidden West
After being announced at the PlayStation 5 reveal event almost a class ago , Horizon Forbidden Westhas at long last had more information release . An extended look at gameplay was shown at a State of Play exclusively forForbidden West , though developer Guerrilla Games still has n’t denote arelease particular date . As look , Forbidden Westlooks to be roughly the same gameplay loop asHorizon Zero Dawn , but with some supernumerary plus . This includes some young artillery shown off in the State of Play gameplay reveal .
Like many undetermined world action - risky venture titles , Horizon Forbidden Westutilizes a wheel for player to select their weapons from . Just like the firstHorizongame , bring up the weapon wheel slack down the action , collapse plenty of fourth dimension to pick out the desired item . The first weapon show off in the gameplay reveal was , of track , Aloy ’s Nora Elite Hunter Bow . The main expansion slot at the top of the artillery wheel hold Advanced Arrows , but three other slots in the anticlockwise direction appear to hold others , include unvarnished older arrow represented by a interchangeable symbol as those inHorizonZero Dawn .

Aloy is also shown using another bow visit a Tenakth Ranger Sharpshooter Bow . It fires Heavy Arrows ( though there is another , apparently electric arrow type for it ) with a longer draw , dealing more wrong and get a higher rapid climb . Different stem and pointer types were a large part ofHorizonZero Dawn ’s fight , so it is n’t surprising to see them render . apart from revealing somenew location through coordinate in theHorizoncountdown , the State of Play also revealed some novel weapons and projectile .
New Weapons Coming to Horizon Forbidden West
The first newfangled arm Aloy apply in theState of drama gameplay revealis an Oseram Forgeblast Spike Thrower . It look very similar to an atlatl , an ancient gimmick used to prompt fizgig . The Oseram Forgeblast Spike Thrower is set in motion more than just spears , though .
While agitate an elephant - like machine called a Tremortusk , Aloy employ the Spike Thrower to launch Basic Explosive Javelins into its metal armor . It can be guess that more complex and powerful javelins can finally be crafted inHorizon Forbidden West .
The Carja Blast slingback fromZero Dawnreprises itsrole inHorizonForbidden West , but amount with some new ammunition types . The wheel briefly scrolls past a Cluster Grenade , the name of which make its function pretty obvious , but it is not used in the Tremortusk conflict . Aloy did , however , habituate the Blast Sling to fire Adhesive Grenades at the Tremortusk , coating it in a sticky message to slow its movement .

A new feature film forHorizon Forbidden West ’s weapons appear to be some sort of special attack for each weapon . Though none are used in the gameplay reveal , each particular foreground on the weapon apparently has one : High Volley for the Hunter Bow ; Rocket Shot for the Spike Thrower ; Sticky Grenades for the Blast Sling ; and emplace Shot for the Sharpshooter Bow . There is also an item never highlight in the artillery wheel during the gameplay reveal , but its symbol depend like an pointer or spear with a rope tied to the end . Perhaps it will function in a standardized manner toHorizonZero Dawn ’s ropecaster .
Overall , HorizonForbidden West ’s combatlooks to be much the same as its predecessor ’s , just with more unique items . The Oseram Forgeblast Spike Thrower is especially interesting , and will likely have many variants . It ’s nice to finally have some more entropy onHorizon Forbidden West , but there is still clearly much to be find out about the next biz from Guerrilla .
