The group, consisting of their leader Gerard (Dan Donohue), his lieutenant Tilda ( Carrie-Anne Moss), enforcer Erik ( Marc Kudisch) and accompanied by a clone of Sobeck named Beta (also voiced by Burch), possess advanced technology that renders them invulnerable.

She recovers a GAIA backup without its subsystems, but is interrupted by a group of futuristic humans. Aloy tracks Sylens to a facility where she finds HADES badly damaged, and permanently deletes it. Sylens ( Lance Reddick), having stolen HADES, contacts Aloy and asks her to continue her search in the Forbidden West region.Īloy and her friend Varl (John Macmillan) cross into the west to find the ruling Tenakth tribe in the midst of a civil war between Chief Hekarro ( Geno Segers) and the rebel leader Regalla ( Angela Bassett). In the six months following the defeat of HADES ( Anthony Ingruber), Aloy has been searching fruitlessly for a working backup of GAIA (Lesley Ewen) to restore the planet's rapidly degrading biosphere. She discovers a vast array of environments and ecosystems, including lush valleys, dry deserts, snowy mountains, tropical beaches, ruined cities, and underwater settings. On her journey across these uncharted lands, Aloy encounters new regions ravaged by massive storms and deadly machines, and conflicts with a tribe of nomadic raiders who have tamed the machines as war mounts. Horizon Forbidden West continues the story of Aloy ( Ashly Burch), a young hunter of the Nora tribe and a clone of the Old World scientist Elisabet Sobeck, as she leads a band of companions on a quest to the arcane frontier known as the Forbidden West to find the source of a mysterious plague that kills all it infects. The mission structure for quests better supports variety in objectives with compelling reward systems. Exploration is improved with new underwater discoveries, and improvements to traversal using the Valor Surge system, freeform climbing, and tools such as the Shieldwing, Focus Scanner, Diving Mask, and Pullcaster. The map is larger than in the previous game.

In an open world, she explores the mysterious frontier known as the Forbidden West, a post-apocalyptic version of the Western United States, specifically the states of California, Nevada, and Utah. The player controls Aloy, a hunter in a world populated by dangerous, animalistic machines. Horizon Forbidden West is an action role-playing game played from a third-person perspective.
