A few years ago, alongside the development of Horizon Forbidden West, Guerrilla and Firesprite began collaborating for a new journey into the Horizon universe. Throughout this time, we’ve worked closely together to develop an innovative, action-packed adventure that we’re proud to add to the franchise: Horizon Call of the Mountain, designed from the ground up for PlayStation VR2 with a satisfying gameplay for VR. veterans and newcomers.
Entering the world of Horizon and exploring it from a first-person perspective is spectacular. Players will interact with the world in a more immersive way than ever before, down to the smallest detail. Even subtle sensations, like running your hands through a stream or the tension when pulling your bowstring, can be felt by gamers thanks to the precise haptics of the PS VR2 Sense controllers.
The journey itself takes place between two quests in Horizon Zero Dawn, carrying players in the shoes (well, climbing gloves) of Master Climber and the disgraced Shadow Carja soldier, Ryas. Imprisoned, he hopes to earn his freedom and redemption by investigating a mysterious new threat to Sundom and the world.
The team did a fantastic job creating these majestic and deceptively peaceful wildernesses where deadly machines could lurk around any corner. Players will feel an incredible sense of presence in this wilderness thanks to PS VR2’s stunningly clear 4K HDR displays and 110-degree field of view. And beyond the environment, there’s really nothing quite like seeing Horizon’s awesome machines up close.
As you take on these ferocious machines, our players will call upon all the skills they’ve learned throughout their game, with every attack feeling critical. We look forward to seeing how our community rises to these formidable challenges.
While combat with deadly machines will have players’ hearts racing, the breathtaking spectacle of Horizon’s gripping environments, seen from the heights only a master climber can reach, will stop players in their tracks as they take it all in.
We thank the exceptional team at Firesprite for joining us on this wonderful adventure to create a new addition to the Horizon franchise and for all their expertise and talent. We are proud of the history we have created together.
We also want to thank our brilliant cast and crew, the wonderful people at PlayStation Studios and Sony Interactive Entertainment, and all of the Guerrillas for their support and, of course, our wonderful community, who inspire us to continue to experience new adventures.
We hope you enjoy exploring nature through Ryas’ eyes.
“You walked in the shadows, Ryas. Now it’s time to step into the light.
