Horizon Forbidden West is one of the most anticipated games of 2022. With its release date set for February 18, 2022, the action role-playing title will be released on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.

Machines in the game are technologically advanced robots that players have to destroy. From dinosaurs to avians, some of these robotic creatures are immensely powerful and difficult to defeat.

Future Press is all set to develop the official Strategy Guide for Horizon Forbidden West. The book will be released on March 31, 2022, almost a month and a half since the game’s arrival.

The hardbound book is expected to be over 600 pages long, detailing instances that a player can encounter while playing Guerrilla’s anticipated title. The guide will also have over 200 pages dedicated to the various types of machines that gamers will have to defeat.

From strategic takes to defense mechanisms, the pages will dissect the machine’s nature and advise players about the best way to defeat them. Over 40 machines are expected to be featured in the upcoming PS Exclusive.
