Guerrilla Games' Horizon series has always had the unfortunate bad luck of releasing in the shadow of a bigger game, prompting the internet to proclaim it cursed, but it now has the opportunity to rematch an old opponent.
Horizon Zero Dawn first came out basically on top of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, its sequel Horizon Forbidden West was then overshadowed by another generational game in Elden Ring, and the recent Horizon Remaster was then sandwiched between both Dragon Age: The Veilguard and Monster Hunter Wilds' massive beta in October. Whether it's a coincidence or a curse is almost unimportant at this point - the internet has made a habit out of laughing at Horizon's poor release dates.
