Any sprawling open-world RPG worth its salt has loads of side content to partake in, and Horizon Forbidden West is no exception.
In a trailer released on Thursday, we learn that discovering the secrets of this bold new frontier will involve getting our hands a bit dirty. Whether through violent fisticuffs in Melee Pits or by stalking specific mechanical beasts in the Hunting Grounds — acquiring sweet gear will be no walk in the park. The wide range of activities certainly reinforces why this is one of February’s biggest games.
Be sure to watch the trailer for yourself below. There’s also a YouTube mirror here. If you happen to be missing any context, Carrie-Anne Moss went into some detail about what’s happening in Horizon Forbidden West’s story.

The game is undoubtedly a technical marvel, quite the showcase for the PS5. If you still haven’t tracked down Sony’s next-generation console, PlayStation Direct might be of help. PS4 owners don’t need to worry as Horizon Forbidden West still looks beautiful on last-generation hardware.
Horizon Forbidden West is coming out its Feb. 18 for PS4, PS4 Pro, and PS5.
