Horizon Forbidden West blev forsinket for at undgå overarbejde

Det var i første omgang meningen at Horizon Forbidden West skulle være udkommet inden udgangen af 2021, men sådan blev det ikke helt. I stedet blev det lanceret her for nylig i februar, og det skyldes primært at holdet hos Guerrilla ønskede at undgå systematisk overarbejde, som har vist sig at være et bredt problem i spilbranchen.

I et interview med hollandske NU siger instruktør Mathijs de Jong, at det var den primære årsag bag beslutningen om at udsætte nogle måneder:

"That happens very little with us. We are very aware of the disadvantages of crunching, so we take that into account a lot in our planning. To give an example, at Christmas we said that there would be no work and that everyone could just have a two-week vacation. The company was closed, you couldn't even go there to work.

"Forbidden West might have come out at the end of last year, but then we might have had to work overtime. People also need to be able to relax and take vacations, for example to be with family and friends. That also played into the decision to only release the game now."

Hvad synes du om spillet indtil videre?
