SAN MATEO, CA, March 16, 2017<\/b> \u2013 Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) today announced global sales of Horizon Zero Dawn<\/i> exceeded 2.6 million units during its two weeks of launch*1<\/sup>. The PlayStation\u00ae4 (PS4\u2122) system exclusive, developed by Guerrilla, was released globally beginning February 28 to widespread critical acclaim. Praised for its unique world design, wide array of strategic action and fascinating story line, it instantly became one of the most celebrated games of the current generation.  The impressive launch also makes Horizon Zero Dawn<\/i> the best-selling new first party IP launch on the PS4 system to date and Guerrilla\u2019s biggest debut ever.<\/p>\n

Horizon Zero Dawn<\/i> is an exhilarating new action role playing game where you play as Aloy, a young hunter on a quest to discover her destiny among the remnants of the ancient past. The game is set in a lush, post-post-apocalyptic world where machines roam the land and mankind is no longer the dominant species.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe knew Horizon Zero Dawn was going to be something special, so to see the incredible critical reaction to a brand new game world translate into this level of sales is really gratifying,\u201d said Shawn Layden, Chairman of SIE Worldwide Studios. \u201cGuerrilla has created a game that is nothing short of exceptional, and the reaction we have seen from fans \u2013 from hours and hours of gameplay streaming to endless photo sharing \u2013 shows just how impactful it has been.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled that Horizon Zero Dawn has been embraced by critics and players alike. Developing the game was a labor of love, so it\u2019s extremely satisfying to see that it elicits the same passion and enthusiasm from the gaming public that we felt during its development,\u201d said Guerrilla Managing Director Hermen Hulst. \u201cThis is only the beginning of Aloy\u2019s story and our exploration of the world of Horizon Zero Dawn, with the team already hard at work on an expansion to the story.\u201d<\/p>\n

SIE is committed to the continuous expansion of the world of PS4 through the introduction of attractive software titles and network services.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
