Fans were pining the presentation\u00a0would also reveal\u00a0a release date, but were left more puzzled when no release timeframe was given. This included no longer having the previous &#8220;2021&#8221; listing. We were also curious. Did this mean the game was slipping out of 2021?<\/p>\n<p>To set the record straight, we asked game director Mathijs\u00a0<span><span>de Jonge if Horizon Forbidden West was still on track to\u00a0release this year, or if things\u00a0had shifted away from that timeframe.\u00a0 &#8220;The development\u00a0is on track,\u201d de Jonge tells <\/span><i>Game Informer<\/i>. &#8220;The thing is, these are just strange times that we&#8217;re all in and we have never finalized and shipped a game under these kinds of circumstances. So we are constantly calculating our schedules and looking at, \u2018Okay, where are we?\u2019 and \u2018Are there any unforeseen things that might happen?\u2019 We just want to be super confident when we announce the release date, that we&#8217;re actually going to hit it. So we just need a little bit more time, and then we can come back with a final release date.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So there you have it. Horizon Forbidden West hasn&#8217;t been delayed out of 2021, but it&#8217;s also not a &#8220;sure thing&#8221; for launching\u00a0this year either. Given everything that&#8217;s happened with COVID-19 and how studios have had to alter how they make games, it&#8217;s understandable that Guerrilla Games is being cautious about\u00a0listing a specific date until it&#8217;s absolutely sure it can deliver on it. At least we know the team at Guerrilla wants to have confidence in the date provided. Hopefully, we&#8217;ll know more soon regarding a date.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For more on Horizon Forbidden West, check out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/video-interview\/2021\/06\/02\/horizon-forbidden-west-devs-on-new-abilities-release-window-and-more\">our recent video interview with the developers<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/2021\/06\/03\/guerrilla-games-offers-clarity-regarding-horizon-forbidden-wests-release-date\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We recently sat down with some of the team at Guerrilla Games to discuss the latest Sony State of Play, where Horizon Forbidden West&#8217;s gameplay was finally unveiled.
