PS4-exclusive Horizon Zero Dawn is coming to PC

We're approaching the video game singularity, where platform and hardware no longer matter. Sony and developer Guerrilla games took us one step closer to that singularity this week with the official announcement that Horizon Zero Dawn is coming to PC.

The announcement comes straight from the most official source possible. Head of Sony's Worldwide Studios Helman Hunst, who ran Guerrilla Games before stepping into the Sony position last year, announced the release via Sony's official PlayStation blog.

"I can confirm that ir?t=techreport09-20&l=alb&o=1&a=B07STWQHorizon Zero Dawn is coming to PC this summer," Hunst said. "There will be more information coming from Guerrilla, from the new studio directors pretty soon."

The announcement was rumored earlier this year, and it's not completely without precedent. Also releasing this summer is Hideo Kojima's Death Stranding, which Kojima built using Guerilla Games' Decima Engine. In that light, Horizon Zero Dawn makes more sense than any other Sony game for this move. It's also one of the biggest Sony properties to appear on PC; it's not hard to start fantasizing about games like God of War or The Last of Us joining Horizon Zero Dawn. Word from Sony suggests that this might be just the start.

What is Horizon Zero Dawn?

If you haven't come across Horizon Zero Dawn yet, the game follows a woman named Aloy, outcast from her tribe. She searches for clues to her origins in a world overrun by imposing and dangerous mechanized creatures, modeled in the shapes of dinosaurs, predators, and other wildlife. Signs of an old world are out there, and call to Aloy as she unravels the mystery of her own life and that of the dinosaurs roaming the planet. As a PlayStation exclusive, the game has held a steady 89 on Metacritic.

Horizon Zero Dawn isn't available for pre-order just yet, but it does have a page on the Steam store for the Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition. The package includes the game, the "Frozen Wilds" expansion, and some special weapons and item packs. There's no word on price just yet.
