This pre-order trailer for Horizon Call of the Mountain largely consists of footage from previous reveals, but it’s well worth watching if only as a reminder of the kind of spectacle you can expect from the PSVR2 exclusive on 22nd February. The game’s available to pre-order right now, alongside Sony’s new headset, and is being billed as the big day one blockbuster for the device.
We get a glimpse of all kinds of activities here. There’s the standard, on-rails boat ride that developer Firesprite’s been showing since the title was announced – but we also get a glimpse of man-on-machine combat, as well as the climbing gameplay that promises to make up a big portion of the campaign as well.

Obviously, a 2D trailer embedded on a webpage doesn’t quite do the experience justice; you’ve got to use your imagination a little bit to envisage just how unfathomably enormous some of these set-pieces will feel in virtual reality. Are you sold yet?

Definetly looking to buy this at launch
@Sequel
Agreed. It makes no sense to me why normal retail wouldn't get the option. Maybe they will come at a later date and it was reserved for PS Direct because of supply shortages.
@Sequel My understanding is that they’re doing it through retailers only where Direct isn’t available… and if you saw how some of those retailers treat the “recommended price”, you’d know why lol
@AmanK_Art @sequel I’d imagine this is to stop scalpers. They have more control through PS Direct store as you have to use your PSN.
I managed to preorder the headset alone, without Horizon, cause I prefer to buy my games on physical.
But what I had not realized at the time was that the game was discounted, in the bundle. A 20 bucks discount, to be precise, when I was so sure that 50 would be the price of the game alone (while in fact it will be... 70 ! o_O' )
Hell, I'm even beginning to think that maybe those PSVR2 games will be digitals only. No sign of preorder on any merchant website (for the games, I mean)
Damn ! XD
Already preordered. To be in that environment with those colossal creatures will be epic. Just to have clear visuals and non janky motion control too will be so freeing after the phenomenal but bodged together PSVR1.
Not the best trailer objectively speaking. But who cares. Everyone knows a flat segment can’t do VR justice, and I doubt anything without eye tracking and foveated rendering will be representative of what one sees anyway.
Hmmmm.... I never saw the PSVR2 pre-orders go live for the U.S.
Ordered the Horizon pack today and very much looking forward to getting hands/eyes on the kit. I never considered that all PSVR2 games could be digital only…shame if that is the case…I thought £30 saving by getting the pack was worth the sacrifice of not having a physical copy of Horizon call of the mountain but if no physical exists I definitely did the right thing
It looks great, don't get me wrong, but £550? I'm going to need to see what the library looks like in 12-18 months
Freaking GIIIIVE ME.
@theheadofabroom Yes, I‘m not sure whether this game is a system seller of not. Without Tetris Effects (replayability as its best), Astro Bot or Half Life Alyx, it will be a tough start. That PSVR2 will lack backwards compatibility with PSVR1 was clear in the moment when Sony gave away so many great PSVR1 games for free in 2021 as part of Play at Home.
@Max_the_German I imagine there will be some sort of VR compilation demo too.
I actually got a pre order! Way more quick and painless than I thought it’d be
Looks amazing, I can’t to get my hands on a PSVR2 when I’m able to get a hold of one by end of next year. The thing I dislike on VR games is the floaty hands, it really takes away the immersion. Isn’t it possible to have arm animations instead of them being invisible?
