Plot
Horizon: Forbidden West is a post-apocalyptic action-adventure game set in a world full of machine-like creatures and humans. It takes place after the events of Horizon Zero Dawn, so if you haven't played that game—or even if you have—you're going to be at a disadvantage when it comes to understanding what's going on in this one.
The story begins with Aloy (the main character from Horizon Zero Dawn) waking up in a cave with no memory of her past or how she got there. As she explores the area around her, she learns that she has been sleeping for years since the end of Horizon Zero Dawn, leading many people to assume that she died during some kind of accident at GAIA Prime, where all traces have since vanished without any explanation as to what happened there between them leaving Earth for 1 million years and now returning back home after 300 years later when everything went wrong again everywhere else except here where no one knows why...
Development
Horizon Forbidden West was announced in March 2019 by Guerrilla Games. The development team is the same as the first Horizon, and is using the same engine. Horizon Forbidden West will be released for PlayStation 5, but no specific release date has been announced yet.
