Sony PlayStation 4 physical video game Horizon Forbidden West Launch Edition in a standard blue PS4 case with full-color cover art showing Aloy drawing her bow toward a huge mechanical bird-like machine soaring above a bright tropical shoreline beneath the Horizon Forbidden West logo and PS4 Launch Edition branding.
Horizon Forbidden West is an open-world action role-playing adventure where you guide hunter Aloy across a far-future, post-apocalyptic America to investigate a mysterious blight, battle towering animal-like machines, and uncover long-lost secrets through a mix of ranged combat, melee attacks, stealth, crafting, and freeform exploration.
Back cover text under the Rise Above Our Ruin heading invites players to join Aloy as she braves the Forbidden West, a majestic but dangerous frontier that hides new threats and mysteries, sending her through distant lands, underwater environments, and encounters with new tribes while she races to prevent Earth's impending collapse.
