Here’s what else you can expect of Horizon Forbidden West: Complete Edition, courtesy of the original listing on the Singapore Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) ratings board website.
“Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition is a compilation containing the original adventure game Horizon Forbidden West (Advisory 16) and Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores expansion. Set on post-apocalyptic Earth, the protagonist, Aloy, travels to the west to discover the source of a mysterious signal and to find a way to restore Earth. The compilation is classified M18 for sexual references.”
The listing notes Aloy’s combat abilities and weapons array, and that “blood puffs” are seen when enemies or allies are damaged. The rating also notes that Burning Shores contains “references to same-sex relationships” – as [SPOILER WARNING] Aloy and her companion Seyka have the option to initiate a romance in the late game.

In recent years, Sony has encouraged cross-platform releases for former PlayStation-exclusive games, with titles like Marvel’s Spider-Man, Uncharted, Sackboy: A Big Adventure, and Horizon Zero Dawn making the leap. With more than a year of exclusivity under its belt, the timing feels right for Forbidden West to follow its predecessor to a brand-new platform.
