Sony has franchise ambitions for Horizon: Zero Dawn

Horizon: Zero Dawn continues to be a fortnight away from launch, however Sony is already speaking up the potential for an additional recreation within the collection.

Speaking with MCV UK, Sony Interactive Entertainment UK product supervisor Jon Edwards has expressed a want for Aloy, the sport’s protagonist, to change into one among Sony’s flagship characters, alongside the likes of Nathan Drake and Sackboy. “She’s a PlayStation icon of the future”, he stated.

Later within the interview, he clarifies his place additional: “nothing has been announced to date but I think there’s a lot of potential for this to be an exciting new franchise for us – we’ll just have to wait and see.”

What this implies, after all, is that if the sport sells properly we’ll see a sequel, and that Aloy in all probability isn’t going wherever. This would possibly appear to be a no brainer, but it surely reveals that Sony is fairly invested within the recreation’s success.

Horizon: Zero Dawn launches solely for PS4 on February 28.
