Horizon Forbidden West: Update 1.18 ist da und spendiert Aloy eine neue Gesichtsbemalung

Horizon Forbidden West hat einen neuen Patch bekommen.

Entwickler Guerrilla Games hat ein neues Update für das PS4- und PS5-Spiel Horizon Forbidden West veröffentlicht. Es bringt den Titel auf Versionsnummer 1.18 und ist ab sofort verfügbar. Sobald ihr also das nächste Mal eure PlayStation einschaltet, sollte sich das Update automatisch installieren, sofern ihr diese Funktion denn eingeschaltet habt.

Größe des Downloads: ca. 830 MB (auf PS5)

Wie von Patches gewohnt, behebt auch Update 1.18 einige Fehlerchen und Probleme im Spiel. Eine komplette Liste der Fixes findet ihr weiter unten.

Welche großen Neuerungen bringt 1.18 mit?

Um es kurz zu machen: Keine. Erwartet also keine neuen "großen" Inhalte wie Waffen oder Upgrades. Allerdings wird Aloy mit dem Patch ein neues kosmetisches Item, nämlich eine Gesichtsbemalung, spendiert, die den Titel "Mark of Pride" trägt. So sieht das Ganze aus:

Die Gesichtsbemalung "Mark of Pride".

Daneben gibt es einige Fixes und Verbesserungen – unter anderem bei einigen Haupt- und Nebenmissionen – die dafür sorgen sollen, dass die dort beschriebenen Fehlerchen und Probleme behoben werden. Die letzten Patches hatten dem Spiel unter anderem Features wie New Game+ oder VRR-Unterstützung hinzugefügt.

12:35 Horizon Forbidden West - Test-Video zum Open-World-Blockbuster für PlayStation

Horizon Forbidden West erschien im Februar 2022 für die PS4 und die PS5 und setzt die Geschichte von Heldin Aloy fort, die es im Open World-Spiel mit einer mysteriösen Plage zu tun bekommt. Zukünftig wird das Horizon-Universum unter anderem um eine TV-Serie erweitert, von der allerdings noch nicht hundertprozentig klar ist, ob sie die Vorgeschichte des ersten Horizon erzählt oder auch Aloy in den Mittelpunkt stellt.
