In a poll of IGN readers, you chose Horizon Forbidden West as your most-anticipated upcoming PlayStation 5 game.

Out of more than 25,000 votes, nearly half (47.9%) of you voted for Horizon. Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart came in second place, just days after PlayStation gave us an in-depth look at the lovable Lombax's next adventure in the Ratchet and Clank State of Play Ghostwire: Tokyo, Kena: Bridge of Spirits, and Deathloop were also included in the poll, and each received less than 10% of the votes.We don't know much about Forbidden West, which is the upcoming sequel to 2017's Horizon Zero Dawn. The game was originally revealed at Sony's PS5 event last summer , and we've since learned Forbidden West will launch on both PS4 and PS5 . However, even with the cross-gen availability, Sony says games releasing on both platforms will be built, "from the ground up," for PlayStation 5

As of now, Horizon Forbidden West is set for a 2021 release. In the reveal trailer, it looks like returning main character Aloy is headed to a post-apocalyptic version of San Francisco. If you still haven't played Aloy's original adventure, Horizon Zero Dawn is free for all PS4 and PS5 owners as a part of PlayStation's Play at Home initiative until May 14.As for other high-profile PS5 games, Returnal just launched on PlayStation 5 last week, and we called the game 'Great' in our Returnal review . However, there is some criticism over the game's lack of a save feature in its runs that can last more than two hours.For more, check out what each of PlayStation's studios is working on .

There's quite a few games I'm looking forward to. Rift Apart, Kena: Bridge of Spirits, Stray, Horizon and of course Ragnarok. Good years ahead :)

Forbidden West, Eldenring, & Ragnarok are the trifecta of games that we all want updates for and won't get for like half a year.
