Horizon Call of the Mountain VR PSVR 2 Game Announcement
Horizon Call of the Mountain is the first official game confirmed for the recently unveiled Sony PSVR 2.
The game was announced along with official branding for the upcoming headset at CES 2022 today in Las Vegas. Call of the Mountain is a spin-off of Guerrilla Games' popular open-world series in which humans survive in a post-apocalyptic world ruled by mechanical dinosaurs. The first game in the series was the PS4-exclusive Horizon Zero Dawn, and the first official sequel, Horizon Forbidden West, will be released next month on PS5 and PS4.
The new game is being developed by Guerrilla and Firesprite, the British developer of The Persistence, which Sony acquired late last year (and which we assumed would be working on the Horizon VR game). In the video below, Guerrilla Studio Director Jan-Bart Van Beek elaborated that the game was built from the ground up for PSVR 2 to be "arguably the best-in-class visual experience on hardware with all-new controllers."
PSVR 2 Horizon Call of the Mountain trailer
A short teaser trailer confirms that the game is in first person and gives us a sneak peek at what the new character looks like. It is not entirely clear whether Aloy from the main series will be the central character of the game, since the voice we hear may not belong to her, but to another character. Either way, the footage offers a first look at PSVR 2's visuals, and it looks like a notable step up from the original PSVR.
And that's all for now. Along with PSVR 2, no possible release window has been announced for the game, but we're definitely hoping to see it later this year.
