Co-produced by studio Firesprite, which officially joined the PlayStation family last September, Horizon Call of the Mountain invites you to immerse yourself in the world of Guerrilla Games through the perspective that best suits virtual reality. Exit Aloy, it’s Ryas, a former warrior of the Shadow Carjas in search of redemption, who we will accompany in this title whose mechanics are based on climbing and archery, two VR classics .
“Along your journey, you will learn to master various tools and weapons, but also to use the different materials that the world offers you to create equipment adapted to all situations. But Ryas will not be alone. Along the way, you’ll meet various Horizon characters new and old, including Aloy“, explains the PlayStation Blog.
Beyond the main story, Horizon Call of the Mountain will let us take advantage of the panoramas and machines of the area while letting ourselves be carried away by an excursion on the river, like a visitor to a certain Jurassic park. According to Sony, this mode will be ideal for introducing friends and families to the wonders of virtual reality.
In the meantime, owners of Horizon Forbidden West can download an update including a New Game+ mode as well as the Ultra Hard difficulty level, with new trophies to tempt collectors. There is also talk of improved visual rendering in performance mode on PS5 and PS4 Pro but also new practical options, including the respecialization feature which allows you to reset your skill points in order to redistribute them. Guerrilla Games will not stop there and plans to support variable refresh rate (VRR) as well as a 40 frames per second mode.
