Players control Aloy, a hunter in a world ruled by machines. The game features an open world set in a post-apocalyptic California.[3][4] Locations featured in the announcement trailer include a ruined San Francisco and the Yosemite Valley. Horizon Forbidden West is being developed by Guerrilla Games and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment for the PlayStation 5.[5] It is a sequel to 2017's Horizon Zero Dawn.[5] Ashly Burch and Lance Reddick reprise their roles as Aloy and Sylens, respectively.[6] On June 11, 2020, Horizon Forbidden West was announced with a cinematic reveal trailer during Sony's PlayStation 5 Reveal Event.[5] On June 17, 2020, it was revealed that the targeted release year is 2021.[2] The Forbidden West is the Carja name given to the land west of the Daunt. This uncharted region is known for its mystery and danger, as few people who venture inside ever return in one piece. Iriv, the sixth Sun-King of the Carja, led a total of four expeditions into the Daunt, hoping to break through and explore the land beyond. Eventually he (presumably) succeeded, although he and his army vanished, never to be seen again. To discourage other ventures, Basadid, his brother and successor in the Radiant Line, ordered the construction of the western fort of Sunfall and declared the land beyond it the "Forbidden West," a land where only the Sun may go.[1] This marked the end of the Sundom's expansion. Since then, many outlanders have journeyed into the Forbidden West; the ones who return are either near-death or driven mad by what they have discovered. The tales of these journeys differ, with some reporting to have crossed deserts of white, orange, and blue sands while others recounted vast prairies full of tall, sharp grass.[2] Many explorers have encountered ruins of the Old Ones, even telling of a massive lake much larger than the Daybrink with an entire city of the ancients submerged within.
One notably consistent part of the varied tales from the West is the presence of new and more dangerous machines the likes of which have never been seen in the Sundom.[2] Many visitors also spoke of strange tribes in the lands beyond the border, including drinkers of machine blood. This seems to be supported by the machine blood drinking Shaman Brin, an exile of the Banuk, who leaves the Sundom for the Forbidden West upon completion of his side quest. According to the Nora High Matriarch Teersa, Rost journeyed to the Forbidden West in search of the bandits who killed his daughter. However, the Forbidden West remains a mysterious and treacherous unknown for the Carja. The Forbidden West is a region that extends west from the Carja lands to the ocean. It is currently unknown what territories are within it nor what tribes live there. Based on the descriptions in The Forbidden West and The Sun-Kings, it is likely that the region covers parts of Arizona, Nevada, California, New Mexico and possibly Mexico.
