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.
