Details today delivered the PlayStation Blog. In addition to new weapons and tools, especially Aloy stood new opportunities to move through the world of Forbidden West, in the foreground: Gliding through the air, dive, horseback riding, and above all free climbing should explore even more motivating.

Horizon Forbidden West (Buy Now 89,99 €): Finally free climbing!

Aloys Vertical movements were extremely limited in Horizon Zero Dawn thanks to climb marks. That poked up many fans angry because the immersion was suffering and exploring to a single search for the right climbing approach. Especially compared to the shortly previously published The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild did not good figure here.

That s enough of that! David McMullen, Lead Designer at the Developer Studio Guerrilla, reveals that you wanted to offer players in many ways significantly more freedom: Huge sections of terrain (where it makes sense visually and narrative) [...] are free without the help of handles Cleaning!

Every mountain without markings you can not climb, but the message is a great progress from the limited movements in the first part. The fact that you can explore the world of Forbidden West as free as possible, but the team of Guerilla also wants to guarantee otherwise otherwise.

Trainlight and shield wing: a dream team of locomotion

Core Elements of Horizon Forbidden West are also two new tools with which Aloy increases their mobility even further. The shield wing acts as a glider, with which she can easily go down from high points.

The train launcher, however, is a kind of gripping hook, but has two functions, as mcCullene tells: The first function is a gripping mechanism that allows players to quickly and easily climb the environment, and the player toolkit a dynamic movement Add to flight possibility.

The second function of the drawer is a winch with which players can dynamically manipulate, move and destroy the objects in the environment. For example, you could reduce a hidden booty box from a projection or open a ventilation to create a new climbing path.

The two new tools, the freer climbing and aloys higher mobility should now give players more opportunities in exploring: Aloy can jump out wall jumps, skating, jumping out, jumping out and much more. That may sound like a little bit, but in combination make you For exciting environmental challenges and many options for the player.

New weapons and attack options for Aloy

But exploration is not everything and sometimes Aloy is just about a fight. Good that you can rely on your beloved bow again in Forbidden West, but also has new means and paths to the hand to bring the grumpy machines to the track.

We wanted to approach close and ranged conflicts, says McCullen. To implement this, Aloy has gotten new capabilities, such as the resonator impact, where you can charge the spear with melee straps. If it is fully charged, the energy can be placed on opponents (both humans and machines) , With a bullet, a large, devastating explosion can then be triggered!

In addition to old weapons, Aloy can now also operate new tools: The sting s throw is, for example, a new weapon with high damage, which - at the right moment throw more easily greater targets. For elementary damage such as fire or sticky damage, can be used for the Choosing the explosive locker, and so on. Each weapon has other advantages.
