Over here at Kotaku Australia, we’ve been buzzing with anticipation as we await the sequel to Horizon Zero Dawn, especially now that the reviews are flying in. In our review, we’ve dubbed Horizon Forbidden West as “PlayStation 5’s first true blockbuster, an example of surprising design restraint, perfecting already strong and introducing sensible, enjoyable new ones when the time is right.”

Now, while you prepare to reunite with Aloy in Horizon Forbidden West, you can spend some time checking out where to find a cheap copy ahead of the game’s February 18 release date.

This PlayStation exclusive takes place in a dangerous frontier jam-packed with decaying landscapes, threatening new machines (read: robot dinosaurs) and new tribes to encounter. In the expansive, post-apocalyptic world of Horizon, storms and an unstoppable blight endanger the existence of humanity.

Taking place six months after the events of Horizon Zero Dawn, Aloy realises that the Earth is facing another extinction, but no one knows why. It’s up to her to yet again uncover why the land is dying. But on her epic adventure, Aloy will discover a secret that will change her forever.

Back in September 2021, Sony announced that there would be a whopping nine different editions of the sequel to the bestselling Horizon series. Unfortunately, if you were hoping to pre-order a copy of Horizon Forbidden West: Collector’s Edition or Regalla Edition, there’s currently no stock at any Australian retailer.

According to a tweet from EB Games back in September, the Collector’s Edition was available in limited supply and pre-sold out quickly due to demand. But if we spot any copies, we’ll be sure to update this article.
