In a lush, post-apocalyptic world where nature has reclaimed the ruins of a forgotten civilization, pockets of humanity live on in primitive hunter-gatherer tribes. Their dominion over the new wilderness has been usurped by the Machines – fearsome mechanical creatures of unknown origin.\n\nHorizon Zero Dawn is an exhilarating new action role playing game exclusively for the PlayStation® 4 System, developed by the award winning Guerrilla Games, creators of PlayStation’s venerated Killzone franchise.\n\nExplore A Lush, Verdant Earth\nA Fully Realized Open World\nAs you travel through the world of Horizon Zero Dawn you will discover different ecotopes, tribal settlements and machine types – as well as the towering ruins of a forgotten era.

The answers may determine Aloy’s fate – and that of humanity itself.\n\nAction Packed Combat\nHorizon Zero Dawn offers a thrilling combat system that allows you to survive against overwhelming odds. Use stealth and agility to outsmart your opponents; then lay traps to catch them off-guard. Finally, use modifiable weapons to move in and bring down your quarry.\n\nWEAPONCRAFT\nWield Exotic Weapons\nIn Horizon Zero Dawn, primitive materials are combined with high-tech components to produce highly effective hunting weapons. Take down machines many times your size by making smart use of your arsenal of modifiable weapons, including the Hunter Bow, the Sling and the Ropecaster.\n\nHunter Bow\nThe Hunter Bow is a lightweight, low-powered bow capable of firing regular arrows, fire arrows and hardpoint arrows. It is particularly effective against unarmored humans and animals.\n\nRopecaster\nThe Ropecaster is ideal for temporarily slowing down or immobilizing targets. The arrow on one end of the rope is fired at the target, while the arrow on the other end is fired into the ground.\n\nStealth Takedowns\nEnemies like this Watcher act as sentries and a warning system to other machines nearby. By avoiding their gaze and sneaking up, Aloy can deliver a lethal, (mostly) silent takedown. Dispatching enemies this way prevents the larger group from realizing the hunters have just become the hunted.\n\nDISCOVER YOUR DESTINY\nAn Outcast Looking to Belong\nYou will play as Aloy, a young hunter on a quest to discover her destiny among the remnants of the ancient past. Shunned by her own tribe since birth, Aloy has learned to harness her agility, cunning, and deadly aim to hunt the Machines, defend against rival tribes, and survive in the unforgiving wilds.
