Sony is pulling Horizon Forbidden West from its PS Plus subscription service in the coming weeks.
The first-party Sony game is now listed under the 'Last Chance to Play' section on PS Plus, along with the likes of NieR Replicant, Marvel's Midnight Suns and Alien Isolation.

Another Horizon game was taken off PlayStation Plus Extra in May
It made sense when Horizon: Zero Dawn left PlayStation Plus back in May as there's a rumor a remaster is in the works. However, the already PS5-released Forbidden Westbeing taken off PlayStation's own service seems to be a mistake to fans. It seems like the company is cutting its own foot, and it's a lovely foot at that. You wouldn't think Netflix would remove Stranger Things, for example.
As highlighted by GameSpot, the full list of PlayStation Plus Extra games leaving the service in Europe next month includes:
North Americans, however, will miss out on these games:
NBA 2K24
Need for Speed Unbound
Destroy All Humans!
Destroy All Humans! 2: Reprobed
Spellforce: Reforged
Trials of Mana
Lost Judgment
Moving Out 2
Midnight Fight Express
Sea of Stars
A sign to come?
Hopefully, the removal of Horizon Forbidden West isn't a sign to come for the service. It currently has other first-party titles like Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Demon's Souls, and Sackboy's Big Adventure. You'd hope that PlayStation adds to the service more than it takes away. Thankfully, a promising indie called The Plucky Squireis heading to PlayStation Plus Extra on day one.
The latest update from Guerrilla Games added a touching tribute to the late actor Lance Reddick to the Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores add-on recently. With the new addition, players can remember the actor who passed away over a year ago through Sylense, who has been a key character since the release of the first Horizon in 2017 and the 2022 sequel Forbidden West.

The latest update from Guerrilla Games added a touching tribute to the late actor Lance Reddick to the Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores add-on recently. With the new addition, players can remember the actor who passed away over a year ago through Sylense, who has been a key character since the release of the first Horizon in 2017 and the 2022 sequel Forbidden West.
Honoring Lance Reddick: A Tribute in Burning Shores DLC
The notes for the approximately 1GB update (version 1.26), which includes the tribute, primarily focused on fixes and improvements. However, we quickly noticed the addition of a memorial. If you want to see it, just do this:
Assuming you already have the Burning Shores DLC installed, enter the island where the entire DLC begins (the place where Aloy first meets Seyka). Next, walk to the flower-filled clearing you’ll find laid out high above the local beach, and once you get there, the process is simple. Blue lights will begin to emanate from the floor with no more activity as you approach the memorial, which will coalesce above ground into a holographic name of the actor to whom the developers paid tribute when they announced his death.

The Life and Career of Lance Reddick: A Gamer’s Tribute
Just as a point of reference, we learned about Reddick’s death in March last year, when the actor died suddenly at the age of 60. The originally trained musician leaves behind his wife Stephanie, daughter Nicole, and son Christopher. Known best for his role as Cedric Daniels on The Wire, the American actor also shone as Commander Zavala from the Destiny series and as Sylens from our beloved Horizon series. However, he was also a devoted gamer himself, as the last moments of his life show – the day before he died, it was the second Destiny that he devoted over 2,800 hours to, along with the first, and he was reportedly only one mission short of completing Lightfall.
Lance Reddick
Lance Reddick, who just portrayed Commander Zavala, already had a rich cast within video games that goes far beyond Destiny. He’s appeared in older titles like 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand, Payday 2, Quantum Break, and John Wick Hex, among others, but most notably for us, the Horizon series. Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden West.

Reddick’s Lasting Legacy in Horizon Forbidden West
As a Zavala character, however, he had the most iconic status. He was in charge of all Guardian military operations for the entire nine years of Destiny’s existence, leading them in campaigns such as the Taken War, the Red War, and the various expansions. Therefore, since the first rumors of the actor’s death surfaced, there has been a loud reaction, especially from the Destiny community. Players have paid tribute to the Commander’s character by standing at attention with him or spending time kneeling with him to honor his memory.

How Guerrilla Games Pays Homage to Lance Reddick
In addition to the studios themselves, such as Guerrilla Games (Killzone or Horizon series), some actors or faces of the video game profession also brought their own statements. Examples include Ashly Burch (the actress Alloy), Shawn Ashmore (who plays the hero of Quantum Break), and voice actor Nolan North (Nathan Drake from the Uncharted series) Furthermore, there were of course also tributes from the developers of Querilla Games who worked with Lance on the excellent games Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden West which we at Weplaygames.net consider to be gems of the gaming industry.
With this article, we wanted to go back in time and remember this great actor with an absolutely fantastic voice who really hit us right in the gamer’s heart, especially through our beloved Horizon series around which I recently did several reviews, including the DLC for the second part of Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores where the monument to Lance Reddick is located. And most importantly to pay our own tribute to this man who will be sorely missed in the video game industry.

Exclusive Shores Await
I finally got a chance to play this great DLC Burning Shores and immerse myself again in this beautiful, vibrant, and original world. Let’s mention right from the start that Burning Shores came to the digital market with one critical condition. The developers this time, and somewhat surprisingly to me, completely ignored owners of the PS4 version of the game which is also why I played the main game on my old PS4 six months after release, but the DLC only two years later. So Burning Shores will only be played by PS5 owners. And that’s if they’ve already played Horizon Forbidden West. Only then will the opportunity to visit a new and once again attractive world, set in the former Los Angeles area, become available.
Apart from the iconic Hollywood sign on a raised hill, the city blends in with the post-apocalyptic vision of the game’s previous locations. This is not to say that a trip to this destination isn’t interesting enough. The environments are varied, and while island elements predominate, surrounded by shallow lagoons with sandy bottoms or deep sea trenches, there’s also a dense jungle growing through the local ruins. Burning Shores is then reminiscent of the occasional lava areas, where the local Caudron is aptly placed, allowing you to unlock control of one of the two newly introduced common machines.
The excellent audiovisual design may be one of the draws of this expansion, which, depending on personal preference, can take you around 7-8 hours to complete. Now, I’m referring to the decision of whether to stick strictly to the main storyline or to enliven your gameplay with some of the additional activities offered by the developers. True, there aren’t many of them. But there’s still a fairly large gameplay area to explore, where even through traditional collecting efforts you can learn more about the universe’s past, which doubles the total time to finish the game!
Important note. Once again, you are not alone in your problems. Aloy is joined right from the start by Seyka, a member of the Quen Tribe, around whom almost everything revolves. The story is very well told. I appreciate the unraveling of the main antagonist’s actions and his characterization, which was again of a high standard.
Closely related to this is the incredibly spectacular finale and again the incredible music, which here (especially at the end) took the experience to another level and you could feel from the soundtrack that Aloy is fighting a desperate war for survival of the people she cares about and for planet Earth as a whole. It was indeed, thanks to the epic and touching musical accomplishment, it was exactly what I experienced in the previous games, but then it went even further. It was simply touching. In addition to the touching music, however, comes the awareness that alongside the machines, you’ll also be fighting against somewhat unexpected enemies of the human race. Therefore, brand new, not only confrontational ideas.
Now to the gameplay. Each skill tree expands with several abilities to learn. A new feature, for example, is the ability to trigger a berserk state in the limited action radio of the present machines, in which they start fighting each other. Among the options, for example, various spear attachments can be seen, adding selected elemental states to melee attacks. Naturally, you’ll get a taste of the next batch of legendary weapons and armor, or “coils” to upgrade them. The developers have even slightly improved the use of the heavy stationary crossbow.
And a special feature may finally be a fast boat for moving on water. While it’s probably true that you’ll make the most use of the Sunwing you control for initial map exploration, from whose birdlike back you can then spectacularly jump to your desired location, its close relative is patiently waiting for you in Burning Shores. The Waterwing also allows you to travel nimbly underwater, and although this particular motif is only lightly sketched, it is essential. However, Sunwing is still at the forefront and you’ll need him even when exploring certain ruins where his cooperation is necessary for success.
The ruins where you search for various valuables again present such a mix of activities. First, it’s a tomb raider style of climbing, jumping, and climbing as you find the right path to your goal. Occasionally, you’ll come across some simple puzzles, such as crate maneuvers or other feats within the interactive environment. Naturally, there are regular clashes with machines, where you can use the very rugged terrain and varied combat strategies to your advantage. One of the best-ever gameplay aids in the second installment, the smoke bomb, has received a partial upgrade in the expansion and is still an invaluable tool in almost any predicament.
Companions and Challenges
Speaking of helpers. The previously mentioned Seyka as an NPC is actively involved in all key missions. The collaboration with Aloy is devised convincingly and their regular dialogues enliven the story. I also consider the participation of some other NPCs in the events of the optional missions a plus, if only because Aloy doesn’t have to do all the work herself. It’s worth noting at this point that the ultimate Ultra difficulty is sealed here as well, hardcore players will have to reach Burning Shores via New Game+.
The fantastic graphical backdrop also offers some new effects involving powerful streams of escaping hot steam that accelerate the shield and allow Aloy to overcome otherwise insurmountable elevations. Once again, there are plenty of beautiful locations in the game where it’s worth slowing down for a moment to take in the truly impressive scenery. However, I must briefly point out some technical imperfections, which include object bouncing and texture rendering, especially when flying the Sunwing.
Still, apart from a few moments, it’s nothing I can’t wave my hand at. As far as map layout goes, Burning Shores may be on a separate part of the map, but you can still use fast travel to return to Forbiden West at any time. Not to mention the fact that you can fly there with the Waterwing quite easily and then enjoy the vast sea at Landfall. The reason why I started to like the machine. The second exclusive in this field – Bilegut, evoking a huge frog, is also absolutely amazing! Including the unique feature of laying, or rather sowing, special eggs, creating a completely new form of a dangerous environment. It’s just that fighting it is no fun at all, and it’s one of the most dangerous enemies you can meet in the game.
An environment where you’ll meet most of the machines from the past, like my “favorite” stalkers. With the giant Slaughterspin, for example, you’ll have a suitably dramatic encounter in an enclosed arena. Speaking of the arena, and now I’m talking about the training area at Memorial Grove in Forbidden West, here’s where you can expect some unexpected bonuses after finishing Burning Shores. Included in the bonus category is a very special firearm that you’ll get your hands on during the adventure. You’ll also get a final chat with Sylens, foreshadowing the strategy before the third installment arrives.
The Burning Shores expansion showcases some excellent design work, with some very nice tweaks and ideas. As a result, you get a stronger and more coherent story and more confrontational options, so the whole combat system keeps getting more interesting and varied. If you like this world and its heroes, you definitely shouldn’t miss Burning Shores. You will get many hours of really good entertainment, which is not completely flawless, but it doesn’t change the fact that the people from Guerrilla Games are simply very good at their profession.

It is set to release this "holiday", and, while it was previously said that Lego Horizon Adventures was going to be coming to both PC and PlayStation 5, it will also be making its way onto Nintendo Switch when it releases later this year.
While it can be played solo, Lego Horizon Adventures has been "designed for two-player action". It supports couch co-op and online play (Sony notes an online subscription is required for console players). You can check out a trailer for this "playful and light-hearted" take on the Horizon series below.

Obě společností spolupracovaly na vzniku mechanického průzkumného dinosaura s kulatou plošinou místo hlavy, který se objevil v roce 2022 v LEGO setu Tallneck z Horizon Forbidden West. Teď se chystá něco nového.
S informacemi nejprve přišel leaker Kurakasis na sociální síti X, kde prokecl novou spolupráci LEGO x Sony. Pak se zapojil známý Tom Henderson. Spekulace potvrdil a dodal důležitý detail. Opět má jít o LEGO Horizon. Údajně už je připraven trailer. K oznámení by tedy mělo dojít brzy. Že by na dlouho spekulované PlayStation Showcase? Prý proběhne do konce května a mj. odhalí datum vydání Silent Hill 2 Remaku.
Bohužel v současné době nevíme, zda jde o další set, nebo hru, což by bylo ještě zajímavější. Přece jen, hra LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga od TT Games je hodně populární, tak možná se na stejné vlně bude chtít svést PlayStation.
V červenci loňského roku Guerrilla Games potvrdilivelké plány se sérií Horizon. Vzniká další dobrodružství Aloy pro jednoho hráče (po Horizon Zero Dawn a Horizon Forbidden West), stejně tak se chystá online projekt z tohoto postapokalyptického světa a seriál pro Netflix. Ten bude hraný a po vzoru The Last of Us má rozšířit příběh.
There's a rumor swirling about the next great LEGO game. And if true, it's going to be a massive Sony Playstation collaboration with one of the company's newest key franchises.
After a leaker claimed on Twitter that a new LEGO x Sony collaboration was in the works, industry insider Tom Henderson joined in on the tease before just laying all the cards out on the table, identifying the Horizon franchise as the candidate.

After a leaker claimed on Twitter that a new LEGO x Sony collaboration was in the works, industry insider Tom Henderson joined in on the tease before just laying all the cards out on the table, identifying the Horizon franchise as the candidate.
I'm not particularly fond of the "I know something, and you don't" obligatory vague insider BS. But from what I know, there's a LEGO Horizon trailer that's ready to go.
It also suggests that the rumors of a showcase soon are accurate.
"I'm not particularly fond of the 'I know something, and you don't' obligatory vague insider BS." Henderson said on Twitter. "But from what I know, there's a LEGO Horizon trailer that's ready to go."
If true, LEGO Horizon would be the first new LEGO game since 2022's LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, unless you count last year's LEGO Fortnite expansion. And though it sounds unusual, Horizon does fit the LEGO mold of making games based on hit franchises, like The Lord of the Rings and Marvel Super Heroes.
Horizon is also one of the few Sony franchises to have a physical LEGO collaboration already, with a genuinely impressive 1200+ piece Tallneck LEGO set seeing release in 2022 (it was discontinued at the end of 2023, though, so good luck finding one).
The Horizon franchise has quietly become a Sony fan-favorite. Both Horizon: Zero Dawn and Horizon: Forbidden West became blockbuster hits despite launching alongside other massive titles that took up all the air in the room.
Horizon is also a franchise that has not been afraid to spread its wings, so to speak. A spin-off game, Horizon: Call of the Mountain, served as the flagship title for the PS VR2, and the franchise's story has continued in a series of comic books. There's a live-action Horizon television series in development for Netflix.
This also adds more fuel to the ongoing rumors that a Sony showcase is imminent. Though not confirmed by Sony yet, many insiders have pointed to May 2024 as a target window for the next event, though it's not yet clear if that would be a Showcase or State of Play event.
Horizon: Forbidden West is available now on PS5 and Steam, and is honestly a no-brainer if you're looking for a richly engaging action RPG to play this weekend. We gave the original console release an 8.5 back in 2022.

Konečně ten Horizon: Forbidden West vyšel! Dobře, pro tentokrát žádné vtípky. Open-world RPG od Guerrilla Games s Aloy v čele vyšlo před dvěma roky na konzole PlayStation 4 a 5. Po pár letech jsem se tak konečně dočkal i já, zastánce PC Master Race, a to s kompletní verzí hry na počítače.
PC verze Horizon: Forbidden West totiž obsahuje jak základní hru, tak loňské rozšíření Burning Shores, které vyšlo už exkluzivně jen na PS5. Port na počítače má na svědomí studio Nixxes, které už pár let spadá přímo pod PlayStation. Nemusíte se tak bát, že by tedy nastala stejná situace jako třeba minulý rok u vydání The Last of Us: Part I, což naopak zpackali lidé z Iron Galaxy. Tenhle port jede krásně, ale k tomu se postupně dostaneme.
Je třeba začít těmi základy, které bychom od správné PC verze čekali. V první řadě je tomu podpora klávesnice a myši. Nebudu tajit, že jsem puritán, co by nechtěl na gamepad v životě sáhnout, kdyby nemusel. Právě u Horizonu to pro mě kvůli častému a preciznímu míření platí dvojnásob. Pokud chcete, PC verze hry samozřejmě gamepad stále podporuje. A to i DualSense se všemi jeho náležitostmi v podobě adaptivních spouští a haptické odezvy. Já si ale sedl k té klávesnici a myši.
Už zkraje jsem byl lehce nemile zaskočen tím, že rozložení několika kláves nepůsobí úplně nejpohodlněji. Kromě klasického WSAD musí levá ruka obsluhovat ještě Q pro léčení, E pro interakce, Y a X pro listování inventářem, R pro použití předmětu, F pro výběr zbraně, V pro focus a G pro těžké útoky. Za sebe mohu doporučit také namapování některých z tlačítek na myš. Navzdory tomu ale dává většina akcí smysl a možnost plynulého a přesného míření neskutečně zlepšuje můj pocit z hraní. Na ovladači s automatickým mířením totiž nikdy nemám tak silně uspokojivý pocit ze strefení správné součástky stroje. Sám jsem si také vypnul uskakování do strany pomocí dvojitého stisku směrových šipek, párkrát mne to totiž poslalo z útesu. Velmi zřídka jsem poté měl co se ovládání týká problémy při řešení skákačkových pasáží v kotlích. Tam totiž občas Aloy odmítala skákat kam bylo třeba a musel jsem najít správný úhel kamery, aby můj zamýšlený skok šel správným směrem.
Considering it’s one of the most gawwwwjuss games you can get one o’ them PS5 machines, Horizon Forbidden West’s upcoming PC version has some pretty fair-looking system requirements. The newly released specs, which you can find below, suggest that pushing the open world, robosaur-slaying sequel to its most extreme settings will take a burly graphics card – but likewise, lower settings and resolutions can get by with much creakier hardware.
