Update: Horizon Forbidden West looks bigger and more dangerous than ever .

A new trailer for the upcoming PlayStation exclusive Horizon Forbidden West has provided a more thorough look at the game'due south story. This fourth dimension, protagonist Aloy volition explore the dangerous and titular Forbidden West.

The three-minute trailer starts off by showing how plants and crops announced to be affected by a blight that could brand humans in the mail service-mail-apocalyptic Earth starve to death. Meanwhile, the machines created to ready a ruined, human-less planet, and then maintain it after humans returned, seem to be always more than aggressive toward their flesh-and-bone charges.

The answer to this conundrum seems to lie in the Forbidden West, which roughly translates to the U.Southward. West Declension — San Francisco, specifically. In comparison, the original game's setting appears to have been Colorado and Utah, with a sprinkling of Arizona.

Our very own Philip Michaels hails from the West Coast, and isn't known to exist particularly vicious, or alive among forbidden things. But in the year 3040, the whole situation is unlike, with the warrior-similar Tenakth tribe embroiled in a battle confronting the rebel Regalla, who happens to accept an army of machines backing her up.

Aloy travels to the Westward to see if the secrets of the Old Ones — think near-future humanity, before it created an unstoppable robotic force that wiped humanity — can solve the blight. But in that location, she gets caught between the warring factions.

She won't be alone either, as returning companions like Erend and Varl will accept her back. Furthermore, the mysterious Sylens, with his questionable motivations and what appears to be the essence of a powerful destructive AI, will exist back and likely embroiled in the core plot of Horizon Forbidden Westward.

How all of this ties together isn't clear, but these threads would appear to exist the central thrust of the story. Furthermore, information technology looks like a new graphic symbol from the "old earth" may even show up, unless she's really a homo-like AI. I guess we'll notice out on February 18 when Horizon Forbidden West debuts.

Hope West is best

I actually hope that Horizon Forbidden West doesn't simply retread the same plot beats as Horizon Zero Dawn.  That game basically had 2 stories working in parallel — two warring factions and the robots' backstory — which came together merely at the end. The main story of Horizon Nil Dawn was decent but not exactly thrilling, with the lore and overarching plot feeling more compelling.

It would be good if the two stories worked in tandem from the start this time around. They should also acknowledge what Aloy learned from her adventures in the previous game.

But if this isn't the case, Horizon Forbidden W still looks impressive. Not only does the game seem slathered in proper next-gen graphics, simply it should likewise build upon the large and dynamic battles with robotic beasts of all shapes and sizes. I found Horizon Zilch Dawn's combat to exist an interesting mix of corybantic activity and clever outmaneuvering of powerful enemies. Refining that organization wouldn't exist a bad thing.

Horizon Forbidden West is fix to launch on both the PS4 and PS5, though judging past the graphics on offering, you lot may exist better off with the PS5 version. Sony'due south latest console is tricky to detect, so check out our PS5 restock tracker to give yourself a helping hand.
