Horizon Forbidden West release time in UK / GMT, CEST, EST and PST
When can you play Aloy's new adventure?
Horizon: Forbidden West on the PS4 and PS5 continues Aloy's quest to save the world from destruction.
Set roughly six months after Horizon: Zero Dawn, Aloy now has to venture across the western frontier in search of a cure to the blight which threatens to end all life on Earth. During her journey, she'll explore vast landscapes, find new allies and face new enemies - both human and machine.
We called it "another beautiful technical achievement" which was "held back by clunky characters and new features that lack purpose," further commenting that "If you've enjoyed Horizon: Zero Dawn and are already looking forward to the sequel, there's likely only a small chance you won't enjoy Forbidden West" in our Horizon: Forbidden West review.
Below you'll find the Horizon: Forbidden West release time, along with the download size, so you can be prepared for the game's launch.
