The song, “Horizon Dreamer,” will be available via music streaming services like Apple Music and Spotify starting September 30.Release DateAt the end of the event, Kojima commented on the release date, stating, “While we haven’t announced the release date yet, we naturally already have one set. The plans are in place. Although production is progressing towards that goal, there are various factors that could affect the timing of the release… We’ve said 2025, so it will come out next year. The release date will be announced sometime next year.”He continued, “Development isn’t done yet, but I feel confident, and it’s turning out to be an even weirder game than the first one. We’re making it with the sense of, ‘Is there really a game like this out there?’”
