PlayStation’s budget for several major first party titles has seemingly accidently leaked as spotted by The Verge’s Tom Warren. The documents were revealed and published in order to discuss the amount needed to develop major first-party games at Sony Interactive Entertainment. However, parts of the document detailing the specific title budgets and development time were redacted poorly with a pen and scanned. As a result, some details about specific titles have been made public. This includes the Horizon Forbidden West $212 million budget, 300 employees, and five years of production time, and The Last of Us Part 2’s $220 million budget, 200 employees, and five year production time. Sony pulled the documents shortly after they were revealed.
Horizon Forbidden West details can be seen below:
Join Aloy as she braves the Forbidden West—a majestic but dangerous frontier that conceals mysterious new threats.
Explore distant lands, fight bigger and more awe-inspiring machines, and encounter astonishing new tribes as you return to the far-future, post-apocalyptic world of Horizon.
The land is dying. Vicious storms and an unstoppable blight ravage the scattered remnants of humanity, while fearsome new machines prowl their borders. Life on Earth is hurtling towards another extinction, and no one knows why.
It’s up to Aloy to uncover the secrets behind these threats and restore order and balance to the world. Along the way, she must reunite with old friends, forge alliances with warring new factions, and unravel the legacy of the ancient past—all the while trying to stay one step ahead of a seemingly undefeatable new enemy.
