Damn Nature, You Scary!
Aloy’s initial journey made for one of the best gaming experiences of 2017. We never knew we could have so much fun sniping down machines with a bow and arrow until we found ourselves facing off against a Thunderjaw.
Now she’s back with a brand new DLC that sees her trek into some new icy territory. While we have no idea what kind of dangers she’ll be facing, from the look of the trailer the environments look downright gorgeous!
According to an article on Gamespot –
Horizon Zero Dawn’s “Frozen Wilds” expansion is coming next month, taking players to an area called the Cut. This is a “boreal wasteland” outside of the base game’s region. It’s a cold, snowy place, and quite a marked change from the lush, colorful areas from the base game.
Now, Sony has released a new trailer for Frozen Wilds that shows off some of the environments players will find, including snowswept mountains and icy rivers. “It is a place where none but the most skilled hunters dare venture, and those that do must survive against dangerous new machines and freezing temperatures,” developer Guerrilla Games said in a post on the PlayStation Blog.
The Frozen Wilds contains new storylines and characters, along with new machines to fight against. The expansion is enhanced for PS4 Pro with better graphics.
The Frozen Wilds launches on November 7. It costs $20, but if you’re a PlayStation Plus member, you can pre-order it now for $15. Pre-ordering gets you the Banuk Aloy avatar.
Mountains, snow-covered landscapes and beautiful caves all serve to make this new area look like a joy to explore, but as we all know the real meat of Horizon is hunting down and struggling against the various machine wildlife. Here’s hoping the new arrivals manage to inspire the same dread as the rest of the rogue’s gallery.
