Horizon Forbidden West piti alun perin julkaista vuoden 2021 lopulla, mutta niin ei sitten kuitenkaan tapahtunut. Hollantilaiselle NU:lle puhunut ohjaaja Mathijs de Jong paljasti, että syynä lykkääntymiselle oli halu välttää ylityötunteja ja siten niin sanottua rypistystä eli "crunchia".
"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."
