Sony has high hopes for Horizon: Zero Dawn, both for the game and its potential to become an important franchise going forward.
“We’re excited by the reaction that the fans have had to the game so far,” Sony Interactive Entertainment UK’s product manager Jon Edwards has told MCV.
He added: “Pre-orders are in line with our expectations. The players seem to be excited for this new gaming experience and this is reflected in the pre-orders.”
“We’re really optimistic about how this title’s likely to perform. It’s got a great studio behind it and what we’ve revealed so far has been really well received. It was also on many ‘Most Anticipated Games of 2017’ lists which added to our confidence.”
As for if Horizon: Zero Dawn will mark the beginning of a new franchise for Sony, Edwards has no reason to doubt future success.
“Nothing has been announced to date but I think there’s a lot of potential for this to be an exciting new franchise for us – we’ll just have to wait and see,” he said.
Horizon: Zero Dawn launches March 1 for PS4.
