Five new screenshots have been released of Horizon Forbidden West showing the game's opening area.

The screenshots were released by Game Informer, who have an exclusive feature around the game in their latest issue. The screenshots show an area called the Daunt, which lies to the east of Sundom. In this area, players mainly get to know the new gameplay of the game before heading to the ‘Forbidden West’ with main character Aloy.

One of the screenshots also shows a new robot, the Burrower. This ‘successor’ to the Watcher from Horizon Zero Dawn can dig underground tunnels and unexpectedly reappear above ground.

In Horizon Forbidden West, players like Aloy explore a new area on the west coast of the United States. The game includes a free climbing system and underwater worlds. Like the first game, the game is being developed by the Amsterdam based Guerrilla Games. Horizon Forbidden West will be available on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 from February 18, 2022.
