10 Anticipated Video Games FINALLY Releasing In 2022
5. Horizon Forbidden West
With the gaming industry overflowing with recognisable brands, it's easy for a brand-new game to get lost in the shuffle. But when Guerrilla Games released Horizon Zero Dawn in 2017, it instantly captivated the world. The whole 'living in a post-apocalyptic environment' might not be a creative premise but Forbidden Zero Dawn's colourful layout and emphasis on characterisation made it stand out. Players were blown away by its gorgeous graphics and varied gameplay and thus, were eager to play more.
Even though the sequel, Horizon Forbidden West, was set for 2021, Covid interrupted its developing schedule. Thankfully, the delay wasn't major since the follow-up was shifted to February 18th 2022.
As the trailer demonstrates, this sequel has more advanced climbing sections as well as an expanded melee combat. Horizon Forbidden West also allows our heroine to explore the waters for the first time, which is integral for certain missions. At the moment, there is only one entry in this potential franchise but by the standard of the footage seen of Horizon Forbidden West, we may be looking at the next big gaming series.
