I know Mark Norris said "expect something new from Horizon in 2016" or something like that, but it doesn't necessarily mean something new can't be shown at PSX, even so I doubt Guerrilla will wait all the way until E3, they aren't usually a studio that takes so long between announcements and release, there last 2 games only had 9 months between initially getting announced and releasing.

While Horizon may take a bit longer than that, there's nothing to suggest it's going to be held back for say a post E3 2016 release.

There's GDC in March 2016, that takes place in San Fransico, time for a new trailer or perhaps we'll get a stream or a new trailer randomly released when Guerrilla and Sony choose to.

Horizon may be the November/December game. Even though it may be risk to throw a new IP there, Sony seems to really believe on it.

I'm personally very doubtful of that, I mean it was actually revealed with gameplay, running pretty solidly. Bloodborne was another new IP, that was announced at E3 2014, with no gameplay, just CG and the gameplay footage leaked from behind closed doors wasn't anywhere near as solid as Horizon when that was revealed this year.

Guerrilla have a bigger team working on Horizon (pretty sure they've said it's over 150 people, for over 2 years at this point, with another small pre-production team of around 20 staff for around 2 years before that) and like I say they have a history of releasing pretty soon after revealing proper gameplay, which they've already done.

The game seems in very good shape. Horizon could be a Fall release, but Fall could also be where Bend's game and GT sits, which would make more sense given that those two games were revealed later. Hell Detroit could also be a Fall 2016 release.

I think Sony believes in all of the new AAA IPs and indies they're backing, hence why they've committed to giving them the development time needed to be all the developers can make them, rather than pushing them out of the door to reveal when the first semi-accurate representation of something for these games is ready to show.

Horizon has been in the oven for a long time, tbh I get the impression Sony really doesn't feel the need to put their games in the Fall, where AAA 3rd party titles really shine. Maybe an empty summer, where little or no other big releases could be where many of these games get put, assuming they're ready to go.

 

TBH the games will come when they're ready to.
