Horizon Zero Dawn Reaches New Milestone

The folks over at Sony Interactive Entertainment has officially announced that global sales of Horizon Zero Dawn, one of the most critically acclaimed titles in recent time, have exceeded 7.6 million copies in just one year since it launched exclusively on the PlayStation 4.

Horizon Zero Dawn was released on February 28th 2017 and it did receive a number of industry awards.

Shawn Layden, Chairman of SIE Worldwide Studios, said:

We are incredibly grateful that Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds have been received so positively by so many gamers and it is a testament to the fantastic work of the entire team at Guerrilla. The combination of beautiful story-telling and great characters, with excellent gameplay mechanics, has resonated well with fans and led to this exceptional sales milestone.

Of course apart from the main game itself, Horizon Zero Dawn did have a story expansion, which allowed plenty of gamers to enjoy the game even more and played a part in contributing to the game’s success.

At the time of this writing, the game is currently the 2nd best-selling game on the PlayStation 4, just behind Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End which is sitting at 8.7 million copies sold. In 3rd place is FIFA 17, which is trailing far from Horizon Zero Dawn at 2.9 million copies sold.

Hermen Hulst, Managing Director and Co-Founder of Guerrilla Games, said:

We had huge ambition for the game and as we approached the launch we knew people were excited, but to see sales of this volume is truly mind blowing. Since launch, millions of players have joined Aloy on a quest to discover the secrets of the old ones. We hope they enjoy playing it as much as we enjoyed making it.

Available for purchase in PlayStation Authorized Dealers and to download from the PlayStation Store, Horizon Zero Dawn: Complete Edition combines the original game with the expansion, Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds, so gamers can experience the full adventure.

Pokdepinion: As I mentioned before, I was skeptical about the game at first but once I started playing it, it was hard to stop. If you have not played it before and you’re into role-playing games / adventure, you definitely need to play this.
