As a spin-off of the Horizon series, the game is set to be released by publisher Sony Interactive Entertainment in February 2023 as a launch title for the PlayStation VR2 virtual reality headset.

Gameplay

The game is played from a first-person perspective. Described as "a master at climbing and archery", Ryas, the game's protagonist, is equipped with a hunter bow which can be used to defeat various robotic creatures in the game. While the game is largely linear, there are multiple paths for players to explore and approach their objectives.[1] As the player progresses in the game, they will unlock additional tools and gears, allowing players to be more efficient in both exploration and combat.[2] In addition to the main story, the game also features a scenic mode named "River Ride", a guided tour of the game's landscape.[3]

Story

The game's story follows Ryas, a former Shadow Carja rebel who is sentenced to atone for his crimes by joining an expedition sent to investigate a new threat to the Sundom. During his journey, Ryas will meet numerous new and returning characters, including franchise protagonist Aloy.[4]

Development

Horizon Call of the Mountain was developed by Guerrilla Games, which developed Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden West, and Firesprite, a UK-based studio which had worked on VR titles including The Playroom and The Persistence.[5] The game was officially announced during Sony's CES 2022 press conference in January 2022.[6] It is set to be released for the PlayStation VR2 headset on February 22, 2023 as its launch title.[7]
