shinobi, the one who first leaked it, said it wasnt a 2015 game. im hoping for a march 2016 release, though considering its budget and time it took so far, it will most likely be their big holiday 2016 title alongside GT7.

I'm hoping GOW is the Holiday 2016 game and that you're right about a Spring 2016 release date. It worked well for inFAMOUS Second Son and it looks like it did so for The Order as well. Better for a new game like Horizon to get away from all the established franchises and potentially get buried under all the games releasing during that time.

i have a firm believe that a game can perform well released at any time of the year. TLoU, a new IP sold 3.6 million in 3 weeks after being released in the summer. GTA5 released in september, not november, and sold 32~ million that year. GoW always releases in march and sells well. the holiday season certainly can boost game sales, but that doesnt mean the game cant sell a lot of units outside of the holidays.
i really really hope its their march 2016 game, but i would rather them take their time and complete their vision of the game, have more content, than release a barebone game 7 or 8 months earlier. of course, i hope their full vision is met by march 2016 its been 3.5 years already without being announced!
