UPDATE 13/9/23: Following the news this weekend that a “Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition” for PlayStation 5 had been sighted on Singapore’s IMDA ratings board, extremely reliable Dealabs leaker billbil-kun has claimed this new version will also be heading to PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition is, according to the IMDA’s now-removed listing, a bundle containing Horizon Forbidden West and its Burning Shores expansion. Billbil-kun says that while they’ve yet to hear news of a release date, its launch should be “imminent” – perhaps even within a month – based on data collected previously.
Horizon Forbidden West originally released in February 2022 for PlayStation 5 and PS4; an imminent PC launch would fit Sony’s current strategy of leaving at least an 18-month gap before its first-party console exclusives make the jump to PC. Its most recent release on the platform was Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, which arrived this July.
ORIGINAL STORY 10/9/23: Singapore’s rating board, the IMDA, has rated an unannounced version of Horizon Forbidden West.
“Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition” popped up on the IMDA’s website, having been approved for a “M18” – that’s a mature 18 – given its “sexual references”. The bundle includes both the base game and its expansion, Burning Shores.
“Set on post-apocalyptic Earth, the protagonist, Aloy, travels to the west to discover the source of a mysterious signal and to find a way to restore Earth,” the extended classification information explains (thanks, TryHard).
“The compilation is classified M18 for sexual references. Played from a third person perspective, the player controls Aloy to explore new lands. Along the way, she fights humans from enemy tribes, machines and alien monsters. Defeating these enemies drop items or crafting materials which she can use to upgrade or craft her own weapons.”
