Ahead of its release in February, players will be able to catch a glimpse of machines both old and new with the latest trailer for Guerrilla Games and PlayStation Studios’ Horizon Forbidden West.
Guerrilla Games Community Lead Bo de Vries mentioned that the Clawstrider, Tremortusk, The Watcher, and The Snapmaw will make an appearance.
Leading the charge is Principal Machine Designer Blake Politeski, who has been with Guerrilla Games since the first machines were originally concepted at the start of Horizon Zero Dawn. He is closely working alongside Asset Art Lead Maxim Fleury, with their teams (among others) working on a number of additions.
According to Blake:
“We’re getting to explore a new area within the world of Horizon,” begins Blake. “It was interesting to figure out what type of machines would live in different ecological zones, and how they would interact with each other, their environment, and of course humans. Machines are the so-called caretakers of this world, so how they perform their roles and what the player can do to use these behaviors to their advantage was always interesting to consider. During Horizon Zero Dawn’s development, we had a ton of ideas — of course not everything could make it into the first game, but now with Horizon Forbidden West we’ve been able to match some exciting ideas that previously weren’t feasible with new and interesting concepts!”Blake Politeski
