Today’s pre-order trailer provides a fairly brief look at the upcoming game and even reuses some footage from theHorizon Call of the Mountaingameplay revealthat happened during Sony’s State of Play broadcast back in June. It does, however, also show several new adrenaline-inducing sequences, including a close encounter with what looks to be a super agitated Thunderjaw. As those things were already plenty terrifying to fight in the third-person installments, just seeing them from up close in this trailer clearly underlines that highly immersive gameplay will be the main selling point ofHorizon Call of the Mountain.
While the previousHorizongames starred Nora tribe machine hunter Aloy,Call of the Mountainwill put players in the role of Ryas, a former warrior of the Shadow Carja clan. The story will follow Ryas’s search for redemption as he embarks on a deadly scouting mission centered on a new threat to Sundom, the Carja tribe’s territory originally introduced inHorizon Zero Dawn. The new protagonist is described as an expert archer and climber, soCall of the Mountainwill feature bow combatand a plethora of climbing segments.
Looking at the bigger picture,Call of the Mountainmight not be the onlyHorizonspinoff that’s presently in the works. According to a recent insider report from the Far East,aHorizonMMORPG is currently in developmentat South Korean studio NCsoft. Between that and the fact thatHorizon Forbidden Westis one of this year’s best-selling games, as well as the recently released PC port ofHorizon Zero Dawn, it would appear that Guerrilla Games' machine-hunting franchise has a bright future ahead of it.
