Wild rumour: London Studio is following up its success on PlayStation VR exclusive Blood & Truth with a virtual reality adaptation of Horizon: Zero Dawn. That’s according to Twitter pundit Callum Hurley, who’s worked in-and-around the VR scene for several years, having previously held roles at Oculus among others.
The game, should it be in development, will likely be a brand new project set within the universe of the Guerrilla Games open worlder. Expanding further on the rumour, Hurley said that he’s unsure whether it will be for the PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5, but our money would be on the latter and a hypothetical second generation headset.
In terms of PSVR development, London Studio has absolutely established itself as Sony’s most talented team; its frantic gangster outing was a high budget affair, with top-notch production values and a bevy of gimmicky gameplay sequences. Using Aloy’s bow-and-arrow with updated motion controllers would undoubtedly be entertaining, but the scale of Horizon’s world would also be a real showcase for a next-gen headset.
Watch this space, we guess.

Cool, sounds promising and I hope this turns out to be in development.
Excited for whatever London Studio get up to next to be honest. Was lucky enough to visit the studio this year and it was great to get more insight into how they want to push PSVR as hard as possible.
I think Horizon would be an amazing fit, and I'm confident they could do it justice.
The scale would definitely benefit PSVR. Even just seeing a Tallneck walk past the screen would be mind-blowing.
Some kind of spin-off game could be really neat actually. I'd be all over this.
Definitely on board with this. I'd like to see London Studio make at least one more PSVR game before they move over to PSVR2.
"Aloy's Crossbow Training"
Nice. I'd play it.
Its my hope that there are tools being worked on to make all games a lot easier to transition to VR. That we many even see every game with both modes at some point in time.
@JohnKarnes that...will be ps6 lol
A spin off you say eehhhh? Hmmm, honestly id love the original game in VR. It would be crazy! Id normally think it an impossible feat but seeing as you can play skyrim and RE7 in their original entirety im thinking anything is possible!
There needs to be a new type of locomotion for VR games. Something intuitive and seamless.
That is an absolute good idea along with a full VR implementation for Gran Turismo Sports and Ace Combat 7.
@shyhh couldn’t agree more. Both need to fulfill their original visions and get the entire games working in VR.
Would prefer a sequel to Blood and Truth
