Horizon Forbidden West: Complete Edition Hits PS5 Next Week, PC Next Year

PlayStation has announced Horizon Forbidden West: Complete Edition, which is a game package that includes both the base Horizon Forbidden West game and its DLC expansion from earlier this year, Burning Shores. This Complete Edition will hit PlayStation 5 next week on October 6. The PC version will be released in early 2024.

Horizon Forbidden West is the 2022 follow-up to 2017's Horizon Zero Dawn, and it was one of our favorite games of last year – read about why in Game Informer's review here. It hit both PS5 and PlayStation 4, but if you missed it last year, PlayStation and developer Guerrilla Games are making it easier to experience the full Forbidden West package on PS5 next week. 

In the base Forbidden West game, players once again control protagonist Aloy, this time on a journey to save the planet's crumbling biosphere from vicious storms and a mysterious and seemingly unstoppable blight that ravages the last remnants of humanity. "Her mission and the sinister secrets it uncovers will pit Aloy against ever-deadlier foes, taking her to the dangerous frontier of the Forbidden West and the treacherous Burning Shores beyond," a PlayStation Blog post reads.
