Horizon Zero Dawn was undeniably one of the biggest PlayStation 4 exclusives of 2017, garnering praise for its stunning visuals, intriguing story, and engaging gameplay mechanics. Now, as the franchise gears up for its highly anticipated sequel, Horizon Forbidden West, fans have been given a glimpse of what’s to come in the form of a thrilling new launch trailer. And while the video showcases a variety of exciting new features and breathtaking landscapes, it’s the tease of the franchise’s biggest boss fight that has everyone talking.
On Friday, Sony and Guerrilla Games released a new trailer for Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores ahead of its April 19th release date. The DLC features the next chapter of Aloy’s story, set in the volcanic archipelago of Burning Shores, which was once home to Los Angeles. The trailer offers a closer look at the Metal Devil boss fight, which was teased in the announcement trailer. However, Burning Shores will not be available on the PlayStation 4 due to the highly detailed cityscape ruins of LA requiring a lot of processing power and fast streaming technology to run properly. The game director, Mathijs de Jonge, also stated that there is a particular battle scene that requires a lot of memory and processing power.
As the anticipation builds for the release of ‘Horizon Burning Shores,’ fans of the franchise cannot help but wonder what kind of epic battles and thrilling adversaries await them. The launch trailer tease has certainly provided some insight, as it hints at the biggest boss fight the series has ever seen. With enhancements to gameplay, graphics, and mechanics, Horizon is set to take players on a journey like never before. It’s clear that Guerrilla Games has pulled out all the stops to make this new installment stand out from its predecessors. We cannot wait to see what challenges lie ahead and how players will tackle them. The excitement is palpable, and we’re just a few weeks away from the official release. Until then, we’ll have to continue speculating and counting down the days until we can dive headfirst into this new adventure.
