Lego Horizon Adventures release date briefly appears online
The release date for Lego Horizon Adventures has appeared online.
Spotted by Reddit user foreveryoung1108, a now-deleted store page on the PlayStation Store website listed the game as having a November 14 release date on PS5, PC, and Nintendo Switch.
Nintendo is due to hold a Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase later today. The game has featured on a previous Nintendo Direct, so the appearance of the date could suggest an official announcement during today’s presentation.
Announced during June’s Summer Game Fest showcase, the action adventure title will hit PS5, PC and Nintendo’s console this holiday season.
Co-developed by Sony‘s Guerrilla Games and Studio Gobo, it’s billed as “a playful and light-hearted story inspired by the events of the world of Horizon”.
Supporting local and online co-op, it lets up to two players “join machine hunter Aloy as she leads a colorful crew of heroes on a quest to save the world and learn the secrets of her past”.
James Windeler, a narrative director at PlayStation studio Guerrilla, discussed the decision to release Lego Horizon Adventures for Switch during a recent VGC interview.
“It was just a really unique opportunity for us. It was a natural fit for the ambitions that we had,” he said.
“I keep mentioning it, but we want this to be for everyone, and the Switch is really a platform that allows us to broaden the audience.
