The PlayStation 5, Sony's next-generation gaming console, is one of the most awaited gaming hardware anticipated to release next year. With the wealth of leaks revealing the specs and features of PS5, it is not surprising that many game developer is interested in exclusively releasing their games on Sony's gaming console. The latest leak claims that Guerilla Games is developing "Horizon Zero Dawn 2" to be released as a PlayStation 5 exclusive title.
Several leaks suggest that the sequel of the PlayStation 4 exclusive title is currently in the works. Segment Next reports that "Horizon Zero Dawn 2" is currently looking for people for its ambitious open-world project. Guerilla Games, according to the job listing, is at the moment, looking for people to fill the position of senior quest designer, senior art producer, and lead game designer. Interestingly, the job description mentions a living world covered with vegetation. Express notes that the game description, as well as the number of hires, certainly suggests that the game developer is doing something related to "Horizon Zero Dawn," which could be its sequel. It also suggests that the development of "Horizon Zero Dawn 2" is currently in full swing.
Another indicator that Guerilla Games is ramping up the production of "Horizon Zero Dawn 2" is based on the statement made earlier this year by Tatai's voice actor Janina Gavankat. Tatai is a part of the game's expansion titled "Frozen Wilds." Talking to a fan during the "Star Wars" celebration, Gavankar, who is also the voice actor of Iden Versio in "Star Wars Battlefront 2," stated that she has knowledge of some secrets about the upcoming game's release. She described it as incredible and that fans should wait to see the sequel.
If earlier speculations are accurate, we might see "Horizon Zero Dawn 2" missing PlayStation 5 launch, but the consensus is that it might be available in 2021. Earlier, rumors of another major Sony franchise is believed to be releasing on Playstation 5. The "PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale is rumored to be a PS5 exclusive title releasing on the next generation gaming console at its official release.
The game will be reportedly a 3D Brawler title developed by Sony in collaboration with Capcom. It is believed to have a cartoonish environment and cel-shaded visuals. "The Last of Us 2" and "Ghost of Tsushima" are two titles rumored to be exclusively releasing on PlayStation 5 too.
But, since these details are from leaks, we suggest that you take it with a handful of salt and with enthusiastic skepticism.
