A teaser video for the title, from the hit in-house franchise Horizon, was released by the Japanese entertainment and electronics giant, PlayStation VR 2 with an upgraded headset and VR 2 Sense controllers. The new hardware targets ever greater immersion and could be a popular gateway into metaverse offerings from the likes of Epic Games Inc, as well as increased visual fidelity, head and eye tracking and vibration feedback built into the headset.

In a blog post, Jan-Bart van Beek said that the game has been designed to push hardware, innovation, and gameplay, with Horizon Call of the Mountain, developed by Sony-owned Guerilla Games. The developers believe that it will add to the success of the action role-playing title Horizon Zero Dawn and expand the fantasy universe with a new environment and playable character.

Sony's next-generation wired gaming goggles, which plug into the PlayStation 5 home console, will feature OLED panels with increased resolution from the first generation and a maximum refresh rate of 120 Hz. The company didn't elaborate on the headset's pricing and release date.

The original PlayStation VR headset was released in 2016 as a PlayStation 4 peripheral and went on to become one of the best selling products in its category. Sony is gearing up for the incoming successor to be a bigger success. There is an interest in metaverse concepts that expand to immersive experiences beyond games.

Sony s release of the new product may be challenged by chronic chip shortages and supply-chain disruptions that have pushed electronics companies and automakers to delay or reduce production plans several times over the past year. In December, delivery times for chips rose to more than 25 weeks, the longest wait time since tracking began in 2017.
