Everyone's favourite robo-dino hunting heroine returns!

Horizon: Zero Dawn turned out to be one of the surprise hits of the last generation. Guerilla Games, makers of the good-but-never-great Killzone franchise, turned out to be savants of the open-world genre and ended up creating Sony's best new IP in years.

Zero Dawn combined a strong plot with a likeable lead in Aloy, making players care about her and the world she inhabited. And when that world allowed you to dismantle a robotic T-Rex piece by piece before blasting it apart with its own cannon?

Pure digital nirvana.

With Horizon: Forbidden West and God of War: Ragnarok launching in 2021, expect Sony to look very, very smug when this year's Game of the Year awards roll round.
