The "Horizon Curse" Strikes Once Again On March 22

As if that wasn't enough, its sequel, Horizon Forbidden West, was released just a week before Elden Ring - the most GOTY'd game ever.

There's a clear pattern here and Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition isn't safe.

The PC port of the critically-acclaimed sequel will launch alongside Dragon's Dogma 2 and Rise of the Ronin, which are reviewing quite well. Only the former will be available on the PC but it wouldn't surprise us if no one talked about Horizon Forbidden West once the curtains lift - an unusual if sad situation for such an excellent game. The term "always the bridesmaid and never the bride" somehow applies here, as the Horizon franchise has never had a chance to be the lone star for longer than a week.

At this point, you can't help but feel for Guerilla Games, the developers who appear to have found their calling after becoming known early on as the makers of visually stunning first-person shooters with mid gameplay.

While the thought of a "curse" is nonsense, it's fair to wonder why this keeps happening to Horizon.

With Horizon 3 likely coming out in the next few years, we suppose it's coming out close to either the PC port of Grand Theft Auto 6, which will be delayed at least a year from the console version's release next year, or The Elder Scrolls 6, a game that may or may not come out in 2028.
