Horizon Forbidden West DLC is now available, although in Russia it is canceled. So, Burning Shores It functions as a continuation of the game, narratively picking up right where the game ends, as Alloy moves beyond the Forbidden West. South of the Tenakth Clan Lands, where millennia of volcanic eruptions and violent seismic activity have transformed the ruins of Los Angeles into a treacherous archipelago, takes place a new story that gives rise to the more than possible third installment of the saga.

As the expansion’s launch trailer revealed, Aloy will face a sinister new threat to the planet through a story that will introduce new machines and characters in an experience set in a spectacular and unforgiving new area. Now, the VGC media reveals the content of the expansion’s epilogue, something you should avoid reading if you want to find out for yourself.

During the Epilogue mission, Alloy has a conversation with Sylens in which he mentions that he has found a clue in the information recovered from Burning Shores that may lead to a weapon powerful enough to defeat Nemesis, a corrupted AI created by Far Zenith, the main antagonist of the saga. In this way, the character played by Lance Reddick, an actor who sadly passed away recently, proposes to track the technology with the help of the protagonist.

The future of the Horizon saga

That Guerrilla Games has left the first clues of the third game of the Horizon saga It is not entirely a surprise, because if the plan to carry out a trilogy was brought forward in 2020, at the end of last year the three projects in development were confirmed, with a multiplayer experience, a new solo adventure with Aloy and a project a stranger.

What is unknown now is what will happen to Sylens’ character after Reddick’s deathwho has participated in both Horizon: Zero Dawn and its sequel, which in this DLC revealed that Alloy would maintain contact with him in the search for this weapon, a possible initial or main plot of the next installment in the saga.
