The director of the game Horizon Forbidden West reveals for the first time the reason for its postponement to 2022
Horizon Forbidden West is now available. Some may have forgotten that the game was supposed to be released at the end of last year. However, after silence and silence from Sony during the last quarter of last year, it was announced that it will be postponed to this year 2022.
The reason for this delay was not revealed at the time, but today, the director of the game, Matijs de Jong, in an exclusive interview with Dutch news, confirmed that the delay came in order not to put pressure on the development team during the Western Christmas period at that time.
We are well aware of the disadvantages of work pressure, so we take that into account often in our planning. For example, we said at Christmas that there would be no work and that everyone could only have two weeks off. The company is closed, and you can't even go there to work.
De Jong noted that not everyone wanted a holiday for the holiday season. A large number of them wanted to continue working during the holidays, but this was emphasized because they did not want the work on the Horizon Forbidden West game project to be any kind of work pressure.
Horizon Forbidden West might have a better chance of launching during the holiday season. Which is witnessing a huge demand for buying games. But Sony has a strong title that can achieve great success and popularity at any time of the year, and it seems that the title will constitute a strong entry for Sony in the new year 2022.
