Rumor: Horizon Zero Dawn cost Sony 45 million to make

Horizon Zero Dawn has now launched everywhere and the game is completely stunning and probably one of the best looking games so far this generation. A report in a Dutch national newspaper claims that the PlayStation 4 exclusive cost over €45 million (~$47 million) to make.
Guerrilla Games had 250 people working on the game, and it also outsourced work to around 100 Chinese employees – presumably for art assets. The game was in development for a total of six years, but a bulk of that period was led by a small team of 20 who secretly worked on the project in pre-production.
Horizon Zero Dawn looks like it is going to be a success for Guerrilla and Sony, so they could possibly make that money back by the end of the year. Now we look forward to the future of the series and see if there will be a sequel.
