Action Role-Playing Game

​

Horizon II Forbidden West is an action roleplaying game and sequel to the 2017 Horizon Zero Dawn.  

​

The game is set in a post-apocalyptic version of the United States and takes place 6 months after the first game. Players take control of the protagonist Aloy in her quest to restore the planet's deteriorating biosphere.

 

On her journey, Aloy encounters a variety of environments, nomadic tribes, and deadly machines. 

 

Players use a wide variety of weapons, tools, and skills to overcome the challenges Aloy faces during her adventures to save the World.
