Guerrilla Games has recently provided fans with the first look at Horizon Forbidden West gameplay, and today there’s more news coming from a developer interview posted on Game Informer.
Game Director Mathijs De Jonge revealed that there’s a new free climbing system in Horizon Forbidden West, which combined with the grappling hook and the glider should make for a much better traversal experience.
De Jonge also talked about the expanded melee system that players will find in Horizon Forbidden West.
Lastly, the developer confirmed how most of the game’s development focused on the PlayStation 4. However, Horizon Forbidden West will still look and play at its best on PlayStation 5.
Horizon Forbidden West, a direct sequel to the highly successful Horizon Zero Dawn, is still on track to release this Holiday season for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, though it’s not certain yet.
Then we have 3D audio, which is also great. Immersion is always super important for us, when we are thinking about Horizon Forbidden West and are designing the environments and all the mechanics we really want the players to kind of feel like they’re in that environment and these new features help with that.
