Just a couple of weeks ago I wrote about howI was freaking outabout thePSVR 2.
I was worried asSonyhad just gone and officially announced thePSVR 2 price and launch date, as well as a series of titles that were getting a day-one release. And, simply put, I questioned where the PSVR 2’s killer launch title was.
That lack of a killer launch title, though, looks to have just changed dramatically, with Guerrilla Gamesofficially announcingon its website that Horizon Call of the Mountain is going to be a day-one PSVR 2 launch title.
“Horizon Call of the Mountain, created exclusively forPlayStationVR2, is launching on 22 February 2023,” states Guerrilla Games.
And, in my opinion, that ishugenews for PSVR 2. Suddenly we have that major IP launch title that I feel the headset needs to sell quickly out of the gate, and selling quickly is what Sony’s next-gen VR gaming hardware needs to build early momentum and gather more software support – somethingcrucialto its overall success.
The original PSVR suffered from a lack of major IPs producing titles for it, and while there absolutely was a good library of VR games and experiences to play on the hardware, in the end serious momentum was never built, and the platform kind of fizzled out.

So thank goodness Horizon is on the PSVR 2 horizon
Horizon Call of the Mountain is the virtual reality follow-up title to Horizon Zero Dawn andHorizon Forbidden West, and will let PSVR 2 gamers “step into the shoes (and put on the gloves) of Ryas, a former Shadow Carja Warrior searching for redemption”.
Here’s the official new trailer that accompanied the day-one launch date reveal.
Now, I don’t know about you, but to me that looks like aton of very spectacular VR fun, and an experience that will let me and many otherPS5gamers jump into the interesting world of Horizon in a way we’ve never seen before.
The idea of being completely immersed in the world of Horizon, with the PSVR 2’s twin OLED screens, 3D audio, and best-in-the-world haptic feedback, sounds incredible and could be a landmark moment for VR gaming on PlayStation.
