Understandably, it would be easy for fans to be skeptical about the rumors. However, a huge indicator that it is indeed true would be the job listings posted by Guerrilla Games recently.

The job listing was looking to take on board a senior writer. The ad suggested the writer would “write quest dialogue, systemic dialogue, story outlines, and faction documents.” 

However, the developers deleted the tweet soon after.

This listing all but confirmed the rumors that a new series in the Horizon Zero Dawn franchise was under development. Furthermore, a comic book series based on the events after the first game will also launch later this year.

Recent reports from insiders suggested that Sony planned to tone down their usual launch protocols. The console giants will produce significantly fewer units of their next-gen consoles because the production cost is quite high. If the reports are true, you can expect the PS5 to launch at around $500-650, unless Sony decide to settle for an initial loss.

While that is not good news, fans are delighted that the release date of the console was not pushed back. As the COVID-19 situation worsened, fans feared Sony would push back the launch for PS5.
