In addition to revealing the first gameplay for Horizon Call of the Mountain, Guerrilla Games also announced that a major update has landed today for Horizon Forbidden West, bringing with it some big changes and New Game+

Ben McCaw, the Narrative Director for Guerrilla Games took to the PlayStation Blog to say thanks to the fans of the game.

We’re so thankful for our incredibly talented community and are happy to announce that a major update will be released today. It includes the much-requested New Game+ feature and Ultra Hard mode for those who want challenge themselves further, but also a host of quality-of-life features that we know our community would appreciate: the transmog feature allows players to easily customize the cosmetics of their equipped outfit to look like any other owned outfit, and with respec players are enabled to freely reset their skill points and redistribute them.

Think you can still take down that Slaughterspine? This update also comes with a dedicated trophy pack so you can track your victories as you revisit the Forbidden West on Ultra Hard through New Game+!  

Additionally, there’s a new Herbalist vendor who sells animal parts, and we’ve revamped Temporal Anti-Aliasing to improve the visual fidelity of our Performance mode on PS5 and rendering on PS4 Pro. We’re already working on an upcoming patch which will include VRR support and a 40FPS Mode, so stay tuned for more.

It is always nice to see a developer taking the time to add more to the game, beyond just fixing bugs of course, so hats off to the team.
