'Horizon Zero Dawn' Has Finally Gone Gold, Says Studio Director

Any lingering fears about another Horizon Zero Dawn release date delay can finally be put to bed, the studio confirmed this week, because the long-awaited open-world project from Guerilla Games has finally gone gold. And there are only 28 more days separating us from Horizon Zero Dawn ’s PlayStation 4 debut.

The last time we checked in with Horizon Zero Dawn, a new story trailer introduced allies and enemies unseen in previous footage, and possible spoilers for the HZD campaign may have outed some rather surprising details about the nature of the game’s world. It was exciting news, to be sure, but only if you’re the sort who likes to learn specifics about a game’s story before it hits store shelves. But the latest announcement from the Horizon Zero Dawn team is the sort of news that everyone can celebrate; particularly those worried we might see one last launch delay before the game hits PS4.

Confirmation of Horizon Zero Dawn’s gold status comes courtesy of Guerrilla Games Managing Director Hermen Hulst, who made the announcement via Twitter on Tuesday, and arrived four weeks (to the day) before the game is slated to hit stores.

For a closer look at Horizon Zero Dawn, take a few minutes to review the story trailer that debuted earlier this month. Then head down to the comments section and let us know what you’re hoping to see in Horizon Zero Dawn when the game hits PS4 next month.

Horizon Zero Dawn is in development for PlayStation 4. The game debuts Feb. 28, 2017.
