Say that Horizon Call of the Mountain is eagerly awaited at the next launch of the PSVR 2, is an understatement. On its own, it’s supposed to push gamers towards Sony’s new VR headset.
THE PSVR 2 exclusive
It must be said that it is based on the famous Horizon license of Guerrilla Games and he will come out exclusive to PSVR 2at least initially, given the new policy of sony towards PC conversions of its franchises (The Last of Us Part I, Uncharted, Marvel’s Spider-Man, God of War, Days Gone, Horizon Zero Dawn…).
Quite discreet since its announcement at CES 2022 in early January, it has been talked about again via a Tweet revealing new gameplay footage rather enticing. It must be said that we are now only some months of the launch, since the helmet is expected for the beginning of 2023.
VR the Horizon and beyond
Entrusted to Firespirit Games (Star Citizen, The Persistence, The Playroom), the studio PlayStation British Liverpool, this spin-off will take us into a brand new adventure. We will certainly have the opportunity to meet Aloy, but it’s in the skin of Ryas, a former shadow carja seeking redemption by traveling the world of Horizon, which we will evolve.
The fact of embodying a former follower of the tribe aiming to form the Eclipse and posing a permanent danger to the world, and therefore sworn enemy of Aloy, should make it possible to develop a completely different perspective on the universe created by Guerilla Games and to allow, thanks to this different point of view, to expand a little the lore of the game.
Specially developed for take advantage of PSVR 2 (eye tracking, adaptive triggers, haptic feedback from controllers and headphones, 3D audio, etc.), Horizon Call of the Mountain seems to offer a lot of climbing, as well as swimming and of course archery. The machines should in any case still be more impressive in VR.

Capcom’s new game halfway between Anthem for exoskeletons and Monster Hunter for dinosaurs looks pretty goofy at first, with deluges of raptors and other mutated dinosaurs dispatched by a mad AI. A new trailer details the story of this unusual universe.
