Lego Horizon Adventures release date confirmed
PlayStation has confirmed the release date for Lego Horizon Adventures.
Announced during June’s Summer Game Fest showcase, the action-adventure title will hit PS5, PC and Nintendo Switch on November 14th.
The game will include PlayStation-themed costumes based on Ratchet and Clank and Sackboy.
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.
“That ethos goes all the way through the game, from the control schemes which are quite simple, [for example] it works on a single Joy-Con, and then also the simplification of the story, the lightening of the themes, the humour – it’s all part of the same ambition.”
