FULL STORY ======================================================================

Whats better than dinosaurs? Robot dinosaurs. Whats better than robot dinosaurs? Robot dinosaurs in virtual reality. And that may well be exactly what well all be getting when the PSVR 2 finally releases, according to a new rumor.

According to Xbox Era co-founder Nick Baker , sources close to the matter claim that Sonys in-house Firespirte studio is working on a Horizon VR game that will be distinct from the upcoming Horizon Forbidden West title, but set in the same universe.

I didnt get told if its a full-blown game like Half-Life: Alyx, or if its an experience like that Batman [Arkham VR] thing. That part I dont know, said Baker.

While its far from official confirmation, Baker has a good track record with getting accurate pre-release information, so its definitely one rumor worth considering.

This isnt the first weve heard of a potential VR version of the Horizon
games. Back in 2019, Sonys premier VR studio, Sony London Studio, was rumored to be working on a game set in the Horizon universe. But nothing seemed to come of it.

Elsewhere, Sony recently purchased developer Firesprite, and its experience
in making VR titles seemed to be the primary reason its game, The
Persistence, was one of the original PSVRs top horror titles.

Its likely that the Horizon VR title could be a full blown adventure, rather than a short VR experience. Sony has stated that for the PSVR 2, it wants to aim for full-length, triple-A titles akin to its regular console offerings.

As for when well see either the PSVR 2, or this rumored Horizon VR title, all we can do at the moment is speculate. Next Christmas would be a safe bet to see the headset land, and a franchise with as big an audience as Horizon
would make a great companion for the hardwares launch. PSVR 2: everything you need to know
