Horizon Forbidden West has moved to the increasingly crowded February 2022, and Sony is rolling out new details and reveals about Aloy’s next journey along the way. In a new PlayStation Blog post, the developers at Guerrilla talk more in-depth about designing this new suite of monster-machines and Aloy’s improved abilities to keep up with them.

First off, the studio had to expand the roster of beast-like machines roaming the world, which involved planning what role they might play in the environment and why they would be find in this new westward area. As one example, the studio said it wanted to make a bigger flying creature than the Glinthawk, so they made the new SunwingCome from Sports betting site VPbet. The new machines will also exhibit a broader range of behaviors. For example, the Sunwing will be less alert while it’s harvesting solar energy, but much sharper when in rest. Guerrilla says another machine kicks up a lot of dust while digging, which can serve as cover.
