This is a fantastic trailer! After teasing a bunch of new machines during The Game Awards last week, Guerrilla has unleashed an all-new Horizon Forbidden West trailer which fully introduces its absurdly beautiful sci-fi ecosystem. We’ve already talked up the new machines, like the snake-style Slitherfang, but this gives you an even better look at them – it’s an extraordinary artistic achievement, this series, isn’t it?
We absolutely can’t wait to embed ourselves in this world, it just looks incredible. Even better, the Dutch developer says that this is “only the beginning” when it comes to Forbidden West’s selection of machines. Phwoar! Which mechanical animal are you most impressed with? Stomp in the comments section below.

Art direction is just insane.
While it was obvious that they'd add cool new machines, I'm somehow still surprised how cool and numerous the additions are
Well.... Doesn't that look like a slice of fried gold!
Horizon zero dawn was the reason I got a ps4. Beautifully crafted open world game. Looking forward to continuing the journey.
The machines are just incredible, their design and AI. I mean Horizon will go down as one of the best IPs of all time.
The individual detail on the machines are extraordinary.
Some great looking new machines. It also looks like there's a good bit of variety in the environments too with the forests, shoreline, underwater, and perhaps even desert in there as well.
Games will never be the same again
Just can not wait to play this game. As well as the machines, the world's just look so dense and beautiful. Looking forward to taking on the new machines, well apart from that snake one! 😳
Looks incredible. Those underwater bits remind me of the scene in the movie Waterworld when Kevin Costner dives to the bottom of the ocean and you see a ruined city from the old world.
Can’t wait to play it.
Looks incredible.
I'm dreading the giant mechanical spiders, bound to be in this game.
😛
Crazy good design. The snake machine is just incredible!
This looks stunning..it took me a long time to play the first game and really enjoyed it when i actually committed myself to it..i was wrong when i initially dismissed it as over rated and a bit boring..cant wait for this..
@Northern_munkey I’m still in the uncommitted it’s overrated camp. I am coming up on a bit of a lul going to hit the end of my backlog. Might give it another go.
Already pre-ordered, which I almost never do. Can’t wait.
This game was one of the reasons I bought a PS5 in the first place. And the people at Guerrilla keep reminding me that I made the right decision.
Absolutely stunning. Can't wait for February!
Wow, stunning!. Can't wait to get lost in the world again.
The robot designs are fantastic, so much creative talent goes into this series.
@godofwarj5 its well worth a playthrough especially if you have a ps5..
@Royalblues Wow, what a typically snide comment from the Xbox fanboy.
Horizon Zero Dawn is a fantastic game, the fact that it has a great story and lore is just the icing on the cake. You're way off on this one.
@Royalblues " If they make a movie of this, because that seems to be the end goal of all these games"
What are you even talking about?
@godofwarj5 Well you gotta leave that camp because there are times it feels better than your namesake GoW.
@godofwarj5
Must be a lonely camp bruh!!
I'm shocked that there is no comments yet from people saying they will get it on pc 😂
This games does look amazing, not sure if I will get it on my ps4 pro or wait till I get a ps5🤔
@TheArt I'm replaying God of War now and whilst it's
an absolutely brilliant, if still give Horizon Zero Dawn the edge. Not a great deal in it but I guess it might come down to preferring the lead character and the enemies you face, machines being even more exciting foes than ogres and draughr.
The dragon boss fight is top notch hough as are the encounters with the Stranger.
Maybe a cigarette paper between the two, God of War is more focused but that's due to it not being an open world game of course.
I remember coming home with Horizon: Zero Dawn and playing about 30 minutes of it on my PS4. Then I realized it could look even better on a PS4 Pro so I went back to the store and bought a PS4 Pro. Very excited for this game!
This is going to be epic. Can't wait
@Col_McCafferty Yep 2 brilliant games. Apart from the Valkyries, enemies don't scare me like the machines in HZD. I mean the combat sound alone of a Fireclaw is disturbing. Overall, HZD has the edge.
It does look spectacular, but I hope they have some new ideas of their own this time around. So far it looks like they have simply stolen Nintendos homework with any new stuff they've added.
As someone who completed fell in love with the first game, I can't for some reason get hyped for this sequel... what is wrong with me?
I feel like this is the wrong part of the internet for this, but Guerilla missed a trick with their snakes. Firaxis knew their audience enough to give their snakes boobs.
Pumped for this. Lots of good stuff coming out soon.
if GoWR releases next year and takes GoTY again away from GG for a second time that will just suck. GG should have won GoTY back when HZD came out and I feel they got hosed because GoW was a big name I think they got the short end of the stick.
If this game does not win GoTY next year I'll be shocked!
I hope the story is as engrossing as the one in the first game. My favourite PS exclusive.
Can't wait for this one. Went for the collector's edition which is not something I ever do!
I think this will be the first cross-gen game that shines so much on PS5 compared to PS4 it puts the 'no reason to upgrade' argument to bed.
Preordered it long ago. Please don’t be a buggy mess, please don’t be a buggy mess, please…
Am so hyped for this. I recently replayed HZD with the 60fps patch and experienced Frozen Wilds for the first time and man, it was an absolute dream and still holds up so well today.
@TheArt nah, I’ll never get to a point where I think anything is better than GoW at anything.
@Uromastryx not really. I’ve heard several people say they just couldn’t get into it, and again several that said they had to start the game and get bored befor restarting it several months later before they got hooked.
Maybe I just really don’t like the beginning, maybe I just don’t like the game….
For the positive: I love the way it looks visually. And I’m super happy for those who enjoy the series to be getting a second game.
@rumple1980 HZD came out in 2017, God of War 2018.
BotW overshadowed Horizon and cleaned up the major Awards.
HZD was the game that convinced me to buy a PS4 so I'll always be grateful for that, the fact that it's a brilliant game in it's own right just made my decision even sweeter.
😁
@rumple1980 God of War will win GOTY and deserve it. Proven time and time again that it’s just the best (I might be biased) 🤪
@Col_McCafferty right my bad... makes sense I guess, but would still love to see HFW get GoTY next year, but lots of great titles coming out in 2022 so time will tell.
@godofwarj5 I'll agree there, actually thinking about it, I loved it first time I played hzd, however on a reply I realised how slow the start is, takes a while to pick up action wise that can definitely turn people off
@godofwarj5 GoW was pretty and game play was fluid amongst other great qualities, but HZD for me was way better. I guess its probably becasue I never played a GoW title before the last one so that was my first introduction into Kratos's world and all that stuff.
speaking of GoTY I wonder if Elden Ring could be a strong contender... that game looks absolutely stunning and I can't wait to get my hands on it!
@Royalblues
Yeah that is true, I do have a big backlog to keep me going. However if I do get it for the ps4 then I'm sure it is a free upgrade on ps5, they changed it back to free upgrade after the criticism they got from trying to charge for it. However I would prefer to wait to play it in it's best, the same with gran turismo 7 and the new God of war.
@rumple1980 I’ve played all of the GoW games (including the psp games) at least 5 times each. It’s just my jam, obviously, lol.
@TeapotBuddha that’s good to know! Fingers crossed.
@Gloamin I do not suffer thalassophobia but, dude/dudette, I lost 30 pounds through palm sweat because of Subnautica. F that game! It's the best!
I wish more games would animate their characters like HZD does. Even the masterful TLOU2 misses from time to time with sliding animations etc. HZD protagonist feels like she has mass and not like she is weightless puppet.
Praying it's not like every new Far Cry game where it's just a few new skins on enemies with the same old gameplay. Am I setting my expectations too high?
@Old-Red
Horizon Zero Dawn came out before Breath of the Wild.
Botw is great at certain things, but Horizon has way better combat, in my opinion.
@tselliot
No.
The combat is the main draw for many people. A huge variety of genuinely different machines that all fight differently and have different weaknesses - you don't just go for headshots. And the machines have armour with other parts underneath. There really is nothing else like it.
I'll get this, but I'm definitely more excited for Elden Ring and Dying Light 2 lol.
I loved the combat with HZD so mych that i was in the starting area for 30 hours.
I was "sold" long ago on the sequel, planning to buy it soon as reviews go live!
@godofwarj5 God of War will win GOTY and deserve it. Proven time and time again that it’s just the best (I might be biased)
don't get me wrong I think that god of war is one of (if not my) favorite games of all time. that said as a god of war fanboy...guerilla is bringing it this time. this looks game of the year material. at this point in time...horizon is truthful my most anticipated game at least until we see more of god of war. they had so much potential with zero dawn and I have a feeling forbidden west is going to be something special.
@ObserverPlayz explain to me the hype about elden ring my guy. It just looks like dark souls but open world to me.
@Icey664 why not? what's not to love?
@Old-Red nah they doing their own thing and if you're referring to the glider. horizon came out before breath of the wild and they was planning on adding in the first one but didn't have enough budget.
@middyone
I'm not sure... something just feels off to me and I can't put my finger on it
@Icey664 did you have your expectations to high or something? I can't find anything that would be wrong with what they've shown us so far. high quality across the board.
@middyone Well I love souls games, so that's fine by me.
@ObserverPlayz yea ik but is there anything particular about the games that you love?
@middyone Have you actually played any of the games?
@ObserverPlayz played a little of bloodborne but i'm waiting for the 60fps patch to go back to it. in the meantime I'm playing other games.
@middyone Have you tried Dark Souls 3?
@ObserverPlayz no i haven't
