The Decima engine, which was used to create Horizon Zero Dawn and its sequel Horizon Forbidden West, is also going to power some upcoming PS5 releases. As well as being praised for their interesting open worlds and rich lore, the Horizon games have also been touted by critics and fans as being some of the best-looking titles released on their respective platforms. When Horizon Forbidden West launched and the reviews came in, it was seen by many as a gorgeous title, showing just how powerful the Decima engine was.

The Decima engine, which can create entire in-game worlds, was first used by Horizon Forbidden West's developer Guerrilla Games when the studio was working on Killzone: Shadow Fall back in 2013. Following the release of that title, it was announced that Horizon Zero Dawn was being built with the same engine. Then, an updated version of Decima was used for the development of Horizon Forbidden West. While Decima has been used mainly by Guerrilla, the studio doesn't have an exclusive hold on the engine, as shown recently.

Firstly, there's the sequel to 2019's Death Stranding, which is reportedly set to use the Decima engine. This may not surprise gamers, as in 2016 it was revealed that Hideo Kojima's original Death Stranding was being built with Decima.
