Horizon Forbidden West for PS5: What’s Inside the Collector’s Edition?

February 23, 2022
Horizon Forbidden West has been out only since February 18 of this year, and it’s already being acclaimed as one of the best games of 2022. Horizon Forbidden West is the long-awaited sequel to Horizon Zero Dawn. Available for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, the new iteration takes players in a humongous open world, thanks to a map that considerably increased in size.
A brief overview of Horizon Forbidden West
The game maintains the RPG formula and the third-person perspective as its predecessor. Despite some inescapable glitches and bugs — which plague pretty much every newly released game in existence, and can be simply fixed through patches — the launch of Guerrilla Games‘ new product was all in all a success. Both the PS4 and PS5 versions have been praised by critics, although the PS5 version is the one that understandably got most of the attention.
One of the game’s most notable strengths is, of course, the stunning graphics, characterized by vivid colors and incredible detail. The gorgeous open-world landscapes frame a dynamic gameplay and an engaging story: we meet Aloy again as she embarks on a journey to the Forbidden West with her companions to stop the spread of a dangerous and infectious disease.
Horizon Forbidden West Editions
Now, let’s have a chat about the main topic of this article, meaning the editions of the game you can purchase at the moment. As per tradition for most triple A games, Horizon Forbidden West was launched complete with a set of special packages: the Standard Edition (it offers nothing special, but I had to include it), the Special Edition, the Collector’s Edition and the Regalla Edition.
Each edition offers various items and a series of downloadable content, with Collector’s and especially Regalla at the top. Diehard fans won’t hesitate purchasing the Regalla Edition, although they should be ready to spend a whopping $260 for it. But the more moderate side of the fanbase will be fine with only buying the Special Edition, or even the Collector’s Edition, which is priced at around $200, depending on where you get it.
Important: prices may change (a lot) depending on availability.
Speaking of this last one, let’s find out what’s inside Horizon Forbidden West Collector’s Edition!
