A roadmap laid out for a few years? Indeed.

Horizon Zero Dawn, which is at about 3.5 million sales at the moment (it was 3.4M two weeks ago), won’t be just a one-time exclusive in Sony’s history. Shawn Layden told The Telegraph the following:

„That’s another studio I don’t tell them what to do. The Guerrilla team have spent 10 or 12 years on the Killzone franchise, and Horizon Zero Dawn could not be more different from Killzone if it had tried. When they said they wanted to come up with an open world, heavily nature based kind of game using all the different colors they had never used in Killzone – like blue. And red, and yellow, and green – it was a big stretch goal for them, but they nailed it.

The reception for the game has been fantastic. [Guerrilla Games head honcho] Hermen Hulst has got a very keen mind on where he wants to take Horizon and what the roadmap is – and that roadmap is expressed in multiple years. I think we’ll be in the Horizon business for a long time.”

What else can prove their thought better than the first DLC for Horizon Zero Dawn, called Frozen Wilds, which was announced at E3? It will launch later this year, for twenty dollars.
