I do wanna point out that one of the Horizon games (I believe the second) got pretty screwed by releasing within a week of Elden Ring and didn't suck. Publishers big and small do need to be careful to not release within a time frame of absolutely massive releases such as Elden Ring and, inevitably, GTA6.

Even if the game doesn't let you play on release day, I'm willing to bet my kidney that it'll sell millions of copies and nothing big will be released within a month of it

And the first game released close to Breath of the Wild

Oh yeah, I forgot just how bad the timing of both releases were. Didn't the second games dlc also drop right around Shadow of the Erdtree?

A spinoff game, Horizon Call of the Mountain, which is a VR game

Ah, that's right.

The horizon devs really need to get together with From Soft so that'll stop happening
