Sony accidentally revealed the cost of developing The Last of Us 2 and Horizon Forbidden West. One of the documents submitted to the court contained data on the cost of developing these games.
Theoretically, such data should have been carefully edited, but someone within the company spared their time and when scanning the document revealed almost all the numbers. It is worth considering that we are talking only about the production budget – how much they spent on marketing these two games is unknown.
Horizon Forbidden West took a total of five years to develop, with work beginning in 2017 and ending in 2022. The game cost $212 million to produce and was made by 300 people.
The Last of Us Part 2, on the other hand, took over 80 (or 90, not very clear here) months of development, with a total development cost of $230 million and 200 people involved in development.
