We knew that we wanted to move to a new location, and we already mentioned in the first game about the Forbidden West. So that was really a starting point for the story of this game. “And at that point, there’s still a terraform system that needs repairing. “There is a conclusion to the story in the first game – in Horizon Zero Dawn – but Aloy doesn't solve all the problems that are basically set up in the story,” continues de Jonge.
In the first game, there was a big tease suggesting Forbidden West was on the cards once Aloy had figured out the eponymous Zero Dawn mystery… so it’d be a shame for Guerrilla Games to renege on a tradition just one game in, right?
This isn’t the first time the team at Guerrilla has breadcrumbed us into a sequel. Tilda hinted that there's a bigger threat out there – but how will it manifest? “And, indeed, this game ends with another big cliffhanger, where we’re setting up some things for the next game once again.” “Indeed, there is plenty of backstory that we can tap into to develop new storylines and create new mysteries from what we’ve already established. “Horizon is really about mystery each of our stories has been about uncovering mysteries in both the old world and the present day, when the game takes place,” explains Mathijs de Jonge, creative director at Guerrilla Games, explained in an interview with VG247. This conversation with Tilda – and the following conversation with Aloy’s progenitor, Elisabet Sobeck – were all very carefully timed, and placed. Just before the fateful final encounter in Forbidden West, Tilda van der Meer ( voiced by none other than Carrie-Anne Moss) reveals that she's a member of Far Zenith – a group of ultra-rich Musk-type billionaire egoists that fled the planet in order to create a new colony, named Sirius, right before the extinction-level event(s) unceremoniously decimated all life on Earth.
