If there’s a poster child for PS4 in the early part of 2017, it’s Horizon: Zero Dawn. In development at Guerrilla Games, the studio behind the Killzone series, Horizon has looked the part ever since its reveal way back in June 2015. Killzone has always impressed with flashy visuals too, though, so it was right to be a little cautious about Horizon’s overall quality. As the release date approaches and more and more of the game is revealed, things are certainly looking promising and it’s time to get excited.

In a break from Guerrilla’s usual output, Horizon is a third-person action adventure game with role-playing elements. Players take control of Aloy, a hunter who must survive in a world ruled by robotic creatures, many of which tower way above her. Rather than hunting these machines for food, fallen robo creatures can be harvested for parts.

With a large world to explore and massive foes to fend off, Horizon: Zero Dawn is a long way from the fairly generic shooting found in the Killzone series. Horizon is also a game that has been used to show off the power of the PS4 Pro, so it should look stunning on a 4K TV.
