How hard is Sony going to shove Horizon: Zero Dawn down your throat? Harder than a well-endowed man with a moustache it seems. Hot on the heels of yesterday's bundle announcement, the platform holder has announced… Well, a frankly staggering amount of merchandise. If this doesn't prove just how much the manufacturer is betting on Guerrilla's role-playing release blowing up then nothing will.
There's everything here from art books to strategy guides and models to mugs. Allow us to briefly break it all down for you with a little help from the PlayStation Blog.

Absolutely ridiculous!
Hey let's hope the game's good eh? Hahahaha!
Sweet! I've been looking for a thunder jaw model. Want it more than the game, honestly
@Mega-Gazz One satisfied customer!
I think it looks fantastic but it's to much cash for me. I probably buy the 2 books.
I wish I had the time and money to play the game itself right now, but there's too many games coming out in March and April that I want more. Horizon and Gravity Rush 2 are on my "to play in the summer" list
Wow so much exciting stuff!...I know!I'll buy the game instead.
Man, that's a lot of merch. And for a new IP? Yeesh.
I won't deny that some of it is cool, but reel it back a bit.
I like the artbook, I'll probably get the strategy guide, and I could probably be persuaded to get that hoodie.
you think in 30 years time charity shops across uk will be inundated with gaming guide/art books various other bits of junk
The artbook seems nice, maybe I'll buy it if the game is good.
The artbook and of course Thunderjaw model look great - so did the Aloy model in the Limited Collectors Edition. I assume that pre-orders and interest must be high for Sony to licence products. I pre-ordered the limited edition (sans statue) 8months ago and its my most anticipated release of 2017 - more than Mass Effect - a big and established franchise.
Whether the story grabs you, the genre etc, you can't fail to be impressed by the visuals and world GG have created. Its impressed Kojima too...
Who would buy the guide book it defeats the object of the game. So excited to play Nioh then Horizon. Great month of gaming coming up.
I'm really looking forward to playing this. It should be the perfect game to keep me busy intill Mass Effect takes over my life.
Yeah, this is gonna be bargain bin fodder.
Not to mention the ridicilous amount of tat, here is hoping it will end up on Ashen's brown sofa to be mocked.
Doing all this merchandise must be a good sign that Sony believe the game is really good. After all they didn't push The Order, Until Dawn, Infamous or even The Last Guardian to this extent.
I am buying the standard edition of the game and then when the sequel is announced I will buy one of the special editions.
For merchandise, I will buy the shirt & hoodie only if I fall in love with the game.
Will enjoy this later in the year after Zelda is firmly in the rearview mirror. I expect it'll probably be $40 or so by the holidays.
What a load of tat all I want is a decent game. This game is on my list to buy.
I wanted to get the Limited Edition Artbook but alas, it sold out!
Have the Collector's Edition of the game pre-ordered and have also pre-ordered the Art Book. I would love the Thunderjaw statue, but at £160, that's a bit steep, despite how big it is. Will keep a watch out for one later on to see if there is a price drop.
