The PlayStation 4 has had its share of massively popular exclusive games that absolutely dominated the sales charts of the gaming industry. It now counts Horizon: Zero Dawn as one of its best performers since the new intellectual property by Guerilla Games just sold over 2.6 million copies in just two weeks. This effectively made the game the single most profitable new IP for the current generation console.
As new IPs go, Horizon is one of the rare exceptions that really captured the hearts and minds of its target audience. Opening to rave reviews and an explosive reception by the players, Guerilla Games’ title has been riding high since launch. With the new sales figures that Sony just announced, Horizon officially outpaced any of the new IPs hosted by the PS4, GameSpot reports.
Just for some context, the post-apocalyptic adventure RPG outsold all of the Killzone FPS titles that were made by the same studio as well. This basically makes Horizon the most successful title by Guerilla Games in terms of the early number of copies sold. Shawn Layden, the head of Sony Interactive Entertainment Worldwide Studios has nothing but praise for the IP in a recent statement.
"We 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," Layden said. "Guerrilla has created a game that is nothing short of exceptional, and the reaction we have seen from fans--from hours and hours of gameplay streaming to endless photo sharing--shows just how impactful it has been."
Just to make fans of the game even more excited, it seems a story expansion for Horizon is also on the way, Forbes reports. Details are scarce on what the new content is going to be, but if the main game’s quality is anything to go by, players can likely expect an excellent addition.
