A gameplay trailer from Horizon: Call of the Mountain was also shown (though no release date was announced), which will require a PlayStation VR2 for the PS5 console. We will play in it as a former member of the Shadow Carja.

  1. During the game we will encounter both new characters and those from previous installments of the series - including Aloy herself. We will also test the crafting system.
  2. Apart from the story campaign in the game there will be a river ride mode, which will enable us to sit in a virtual boat and relax, while admiring breathtaking views.
