About

Horizon Zero Dawn came out on February 28, 2017 for PlayStation 4, then for PC on August 7, 2020. The main story takes about 23 hours, doing everything about 84 hours. It won 2 awards, including British Academy Games Award for New Intellectual Property and German Computer Game Award – Best International Game World.

Welcome to a vibrant world rich with the beauty of nature – but inhabited by awe-inspiring, highly advanced machines. As a young machine hunter named Aloy, you must unravel the mysteries of this world and find your own destiny.

Story

In a far-future world where primitive human tribes coexist with enormous robotic machines, a young outcast named Aloy sets out to uncover the truth behind her mysterious origins. Raised in exile from the Nora tribe, she ventures beyond her homeland into a vast and dangerous land, seeking answers about her past and the ancient civilisation whose ruins litter the landscape.

What is happening now

Horizon Zero Dawn is an action role-playing game set in a post-apocalyptic world where players control Aloy, a hunter navigating a landscape reclaimed by nature and mechanical creatures. Originally released on PlayStation 4 in 2017, the game has since expanded to PC and received a remastered edition for PlayStation 5. A recent update to the PlayStation 5 version added support for the console's Power Saver function, allowing players to reduce power consumption during gameplay. This quality-of-life addition reflects ongoing developer attention to the remaster's technical performance and player accessibility features.
