Whereas we had the world of Horizon to information us, we additionally had many challenges forward: how would we take these iconic machines and vibrant landscapes and alter them to suit first-person digital actuality?
Returning to the Nora and Carja homelands was the right setting for Ryas’ journey. Happening alongside a part of Aloy’s journey in Horizon Zero Daybreak, Ryas made these acquainted places his personal stomping grounds, climbing to new heights and making this mark on the woven story of the Horizon franchise.
