PS4-Exclusive Horizon Zero Dawn India Release Date Delayed to March 8

Action role-playing game Horizon Zero Dawn release date is February 28 in the US and March 1 in Europe and India. Or so it was until a few hours ago.

Update, February 28, 2017: Amazon India has changed the release date of the game to March 8, confirming the delay.
