New details of Horizon: Forbidden Lands of the West The heroine is now known as the "Savior"

Horizon: Forbidden Lands of the West is about to be released at the end of February next year, and Sony and Guerrrilla Games have begun a campaign to promote the game. The game recently appeared on the cover of Game Informer magazine, and some developers revealed the improvements of this sequel. Narrative director Ben McCaw said the town in the sequel will be more dynamic than the previous one.

"We upgraded our civilian and residential areas, added an improved version of the crowd system, had better animations, better sound effects, so everything will feel more real and more lively."

Guerrilla also said that they deliberately gave the protagonist Aloy more time to spend with key characters in the sequel.

"One of the major changes we wanted to make from Generation 1 to Generation 2 was that you could spend more time with key characters. It's something we want to do throughout the game. Not only are you characters you meet in the main storyline, but there are also some side quest characters who don't disappear after a mission is completed. ”

McCaw also went out of his way to point out another important change for Aloy. Although Aloy was an abandoned person at the beginning of the Generation 1 game and was underestimated by most people, the achievements in Dawn changed the minds of many people. Now in Horizon: Forbidden Lands, Aloy is often referred to as the "Savior," and with that comes an increased sense of responsibility.

"In a way, Aloy really wants to follow the example of her mother, Elizabet Sobek, to stop this catastrophe at all costs and save the world. Even if it means going it alone; However, she will also find that being a savior is very lonely. Ultimately, it is the connection with others that makes the world worth saving. ”
