Horizon has become one of Sony’s biggest series in recent years, with Horizon Forbidden West for PS5 and PS4. Now, the series is making the jump to VR, with Horizon Call of the Mountain for Sony’s next-generation PSVR 2 headset. But, when can we expect a Horizon Call of the Mountain release date?
Unveiled at CES 2022, Horizon Call of the Mountain is not developed by Guerrilla Games, which shepherded the series’ creation, and new PlayStation Studios team, Firesprite, which has worked on PSVR titles in the past like The Persistence. It is clear Sony is positioning Horizon Call of the Wild to be one of the big games for the PSVR 2 headset during its early life and will undoubtedly be a showpiece title.
Horizon Call of the Mountain release date speculation
The Horizon Call of the Mountain release date is set for February 22, 2023. Sony has announced that the PSVR 2 headset will launch on that same day and there is a Call of the Mountain bundle.
Once we have more information from Sony we will be sure to update this article.
Will Horizon Call of the Mountain include Aloy?
In short, yes. Horizon Call of the Mountain will feature Aloy and a number of other returning and new characters.
But, you won’t be playing the game as Aloy. Instead, you will be playing as a brand new protagonist, Ryas.
Horizon Call of the Mountain Gameplay
During a State of Play on June 2, 2022, we got our first look at some Horizon Call of the Mountain gameplay. It shows traversal, combat, and lots of big old machines.
Horizon Call of the Mountain PSVR 2 Features
Unveiled alongside the PSVR 2 specs, Horizon Call of the Mountain will make full use of the new system’s features, including the high-quality visuals on offer.
Alongside its reveal, the game has been confirmed to utilise the new PSVR 2 Sense controllers, which feature haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. Therefore, you can expect a similar amount of use as to what will be included in the upcoming Horizon Forbidden West.
