Aloy is facing some stiff competition for the spotlight whenHorizon Forbidden Westlaunches on PC later this year, and it’s not the first time.

As revealed yesterday by PlayStation,Horizon Forbidden West is set to make its debut on PC on March 21, and while it’s not in competition with Link or anyFromSoftwaretitles this time around, it’s still got some pretty hefty action titles to contend with.

“How the hell, EVERY SINGLE TIME, they release a Horizon game at around the time a far more popular title comes out?” writes Laranthiel. “It HAS to be on purpose at this point.” An equally bewildered Demigod978 says, “I don’t really play Horizon, but damn, does somebody over atSonyreally hate that series.”

Also competing for fans' attention is Rise of the Ronin, Nioh developer Team Ninja’s PS5 exclusive samurai-themed RPG, which also arrives on March 22. Rather amusingly, given how unlucky Horizon’s been so far, fans are half expectingElden Ring DLCShadow of the Erdtree to make an appearance then, too.

Whether you play it before or after March’s other offerings is entirely your call, but Forbidden West is definitely worth your time. In ourHorizon Forbidden West reviewof the PS5 version, we describe it as “a tweaked, enhanced, and confident sequel that exceeds expectations, delivering an open world full of compelling characters, an intriguing story, and yes, more super awesome robot dinosaurs.”
