Summary
- Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition, which combines the main game and its Burning Shores DLC, has been spotted on the Singapore rating's board.
- Guerrilla Games' Horizon Zero Dawn followed a similar practice of releasing a complete edition that included the base game and DLC.
- Sony has plans to release its single-player titles on PC, so it is likely that Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition will also be available on PC in the future.
Horizon Forbidden West could be getting a re-release, as a complete edition of the game has appeared on a rating board. Horizon Forbidden West offered a massive jump from the original game, as players had access to a greatly expanded skill tree, new weapons, and a few different ways of traversing the world.
Developer Guerrilla Games released a DLC titled Burning Shores earlier in 2023, adding new enemy types, weapons, outfits, and more to the game. Both Horizon Forbidden West and the Burning Shores DLC received positive reviews from critics, as they have a score of 88 and 82 respectively on Metacritic. New information now suggests that Sony will release another edition of Horizon Forbidden West that presumably comes with this add-on.
As reported by Video Games Chronicle, Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition has been spotted on the Singapore rating’s board. It mentions that Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition will launch in 2023 on PS5, but doesn’t offer any further details. Judging by this listing, it appears that Sony will combine Horizon Forbidden West and the Burning Shores DLC into one package, allowing users to get the full game in one go.
This news probably doesn’t come as a surprise to many fans, as Guerrilla Games has followed similar practices in the past. Horizon Zero Dawn came out in the first few months of 2017, with The Frozen Wilds DLC launching later that year. Sony then launched a complete edition of Horizon Zero Dawn that combined both the original title and its DLC into one package, and this version was released on PC in 2020.
Sony had previously confirmed that it plans to release its single-player titles on PC a few years after the launch of the PS5 version. So, Horizon Forbidden West will probably come to PC in the form of this complete edition. Additionally, Guerrilla Games has released several updates for Horizon Forbidden West that fix bugs and make important quality-life-changes, so PC players will be able to take advantage of these features whenever it launches.
It’ll be interesting to see how Sony decides to price this game, as Horizon Forbidden West is currently available to PS Plus Extra and Premium subscribers at no extra cost. Horizon Forbidden West was a full-priced game at launch, while the Burning Shores DLC is available for $19.99. So, this edition of the game may sell for $69.99, the standard price of a new Sony first-party title.
Horizon Forbidden West is available now on PS4 and PS5.
