There will be extensive climbing and exploring in this game. Listen, it’s called Call of the Mountain for a reason. (We love you, Nil.) THERE WILL BE CLIMBING (But we’ll get to that later.) Along with Aloy, we can also expect to see some familiar returning faces.

We’re hoping we’ll have the chance to work and fight alongside her… or maybe even override some machines together.

Now that we’re playing as a member of the Shadow Carja, it makes sense for Aloy to be wary of us in this adventure. How significant her role in this game is remains up in the air-but hopefully, she’ll come as a friend, not foe. While this was heavily speculated during the initial trailer, it has since been confirmed that you will run into Aloy during your VR adventures. Overall, it will be refreshing and fun to see the world of Horizon through a new set of eyes. After his imprisonment, he was spared execution in exchange for investigating a new threat to the Sundom. But what we know about Ryas doesn’t stop there. So it’s definitely interesting to be stepping into the shoes of one of Aloy’s foes for the first time. They are a splinter group of the Carja, who supported the former Sun King’s war against the other tribes of the continent. For those that need a refresher, the Shadow Carja are one of the many foes of Horizon Zero Dawn. In Horizon Call of the Mountain, you take on the role of Ryas, a member of the Shadow Carja who is now a prisoner of the Sundom.
