'Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores' teases DLC release

A few days before its release, Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores gets one more trailer. Sony and Guerrilla Games offer a fresh look at this new chapter of Aloy's story. Burning Shores is a volcanic archipelago that was once home to Los Angeles. The teaser trailer also gives a closer look at the Metal Devil boss fight. That specific battle is why this DLC won't be available on the PlayStation 4. It requires a lot of memory and processing power.

‘Horizon Zero Dawn’ introduces new mode and difficulty level

Guerrilla Games/Sony Interactive Entertainment

A new patch for Horizon Zero Dawn brings with it some new “highly anticipated” features. The first one is the New Game+ Mode. According to Guerrilla Games community manager Jeroen Roding, it lets you “relive the adventures of Aloy without losing your character progression and your collected inventory.” But he notes that: “You won’t be able to progress beyond the level cap of 50, but you can still collect XP during your adventure.” There are also two new trophies added with New Game+. One is the ability to choose your face paint, the other is to alternate Focus designs for Aloy as well as advanced weaponry and armor for her. These come at a price, of course.

When you try New Game+, you’ll be given the option to adjust your difficulty level for the new playthrough. This time there’s a new “Ultra Hard” setting where the machines are smarter and have better senses. Your health regeneration is also limited. If you opt to try Ultra Hard, you’re going to need to stick to it. There is no reducing the game’s difficulty after the fact.
