LEGO has announced the 'LEGO Horizon Forbidden West' set in collaboration with 'Guerrilla Games.' This set is being released in celebration of the newest iteration of the 'Horizon' video game series, 'Horizon: Forbidden West,' which comes out on PS4 and PS5 consoles on February 18th, 2022.
The 1,222-piece LEGO set includes a large 13.5-inch 'Tallneck' figure, based on the creature of the same name from the video game, as well as a small 'Watcher' figure that is approximately two inches tall. The set also includes a LEGO Minifigure version of Aloy, the main protagonist of the Horizon series. The set also includes a few key pieces of scenery, such as a vine-covered traffic light and a birch tree. The traffic light pays homage to the post-apocalyptic setting of the video game.
