“In an open world game like Horizon Forbidden West, restarting from a checkpoint is very quick if you open the map and travel quickly from one end to the other,” he said in the video. “And when you start the game, you’re right there – in action.”
This open world will be quite large – de Jonge noted that the Forbidden West title refers to “a mysterious new frontier” that stretches from Utah to the Pacific – and looks absolutely adorable.
