Horizon 3 Development Teased, Aloy’s Journey May Conclude
Since the launch of Sony’s PlayStation 5 in November 2020, the console has been home to some incredible exclusive titles. One standout game among them is Horizon Forbidden West, developed by Guerrilla Games, serving as the sequel to the 2017 hit Horizon Zero Dawn. The game’s narrative revolves around Aloy, the main character, striving to save Earth in the year 3021, which has been ravaged by machines.
The most recent addition to the Horizon series is the highly praised expansion, Burning Shores, setting the stage for the upcoming Horizon 3. In our review of Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores, we expressed excitement about the potential of Horizon 3, stating, “If Horizon 3 is anything like Burning Shores, we’re in for a real treat.”
Although Sony hasn’t officially unveiled Horizon 3, indications from Guerrilla Games suggest that the development is underway. The Amsterdam-based studio has hinted at expanding Aloy’s world in her next adventure through a job advertisement. While details are scarce, this confirmation provides anticipation for what could be the conclusion of Aloy’s story.
The prospect of Horizon continuing beyond Aloy’s journey is uncertain. The announcement of an MMO set in the Horizon universe adds another layer to the series, although it seems detached from the mainline story.
While there is speculation about the end of Aloy’s story, Sony’s decision to discontinue the Killzone series, handled by Guerrilla Games before Horizon, raises questions about the future of Horizon. Could the series potentially shift focus to other characters? Only time will reveal the direction the franchise takes.
Additionally, there’s speculation that Horizon 3 might see a release on the upcoming PlayStation 6. For now, both Horizon Zero Dawn and Forbidden West are accessible on current PlayStation consoles.
