Original article: Neowing, a Japanese retailer, has recently shared the release date for Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition for PlayStation 5 by posting the game on their online shop website. Apparently, this edition is set to launch on October 6th. If the information provided by Neowing is indeed accurate, it means that there is just a little over a week left until the release of Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition.
Well, PC players might find themselves disappointed as the Japanese retailer only specifies a PlayStation 5 release for the Complete Edition. Back when the new edition was first leaked earlier in September, loads of PC players got their hopes up, thinking they might be able to play Aloy's sophomore adventure upon the re-release.
It's important to note that neither the developer, Guerrilla Games, nor the publisher, Sony, has officially confirmed the release of Horizon Forbidden West on PC. This is in contrast to its predecessor, which eventually received a PC port along with its bundled DLC several years after its initial release.

The complete edition goes beyond just the Burning Shores expansion pack, as it will reportedly include additional digital content such as artbooks, soundtracks, and comics. And, according to the Neowing website, the complete edition is priced at ¥7,981, which is approximately $55.
Speaking of the game, a few months ago, during the Xbox vs. Federal Trade Commission hearing, PlayStation accidentally disclosed the development costs and timelines for The Last of Us: Part II and Horizon Forbidden West, offering insights into the business aspects of AAA game development. According to that document, the creation of Horizon Forbidden West took a total of 5 years and cost PlayStation $212 million, with a peak headcount surpassing 300 employees.
