February 28th was Horizon Zero Dawn’s 1st year anniversary. The Playstation Blog EU announced that as of that date, the open world RPG has sold more than 7.6 million copies worldwide.
This is a brand-new IP from Killzone developers Guerilla Games, and they have struck gold, hard. Horizon is now the best-selling new IP from Sony ever.
“We had huge ambition for Horizon Zero Dawn and as we approached the launch we knew people were excited, but to see sales of this volume is truly mind blowing,” said Guerilla Games’ co-founder and managaing director Herman Hulst. “Since launch, millions of players have joined Aloy on a quest to discover the secrets of the old ones. We hope they enjoy playing Horizon Zero Dawn as much as we enjoyed making it.”
Hard work pays off. Guerilla Games, based in the Netherlands, have been operating for 18 years, with most of their titles being shooters. So to see them going out of their comfort zone and succeed this far is very inspiring.
