Horizon Forbidden West: 10 Confirmed Details You NEED To Know

4. New Machines

Horizon Forbidden West
Guerrilla Games

Horizon Zero Dawn was a unique game in its premise and story. Self-sustaining machine creatures that are programmed to neutralise all organic life that they encounter Terrifying. Every time you get spotted by a watcher you better be sure that you have come correct or you may as well run as fast as you can before it calls for help in the form of a devastating mechanical stampede.

There is an excellent variety of different machines in Horizon Zero Dawn, some more intimidating than others. Spotting a Thunderjaw is more likely to make you pinch your sphincter than running into a couple of Lancehorns. But make no mistake, if you are not careful, those Lancehorns will still mess you up!

In the trailer, we see a monstrous mechanical tortoise that we learned is called the Shellsnapper; it looks like a robotic Blastoise and is said to guard the swamps and shorelines of The Forbidden West. We also see the Tremortusk, a large, mammoth-like machine that is covered in armour and weapons.

Another interesting machine that we spot towards the end of the trailer is the Sunwing, a Pterodactyl-like machine that seems to have solar panels for wings.

This begs the question... can we fly these bad boys?
