E3 2017: Horizon's Frozen Wilds Will Alter the Existing Open World

Push Square: "Sony Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida has hinted that we can expect Horizon: Zero Dawn’s first expansion – named The Frozen Wilds – to alter the state of the existing open world: “I understand there are some things happening in the original world as well,” he said. “It’s a new area that you can go into, but it’s not [just] that new area where things are happening.”

[UCForce]

Oh my god, I can't wait for this expansion pack. I'm just HZD fanboy. I'm huge fan of GG. Since the game got so many great reviews, I was screaming like a happy lunatic.

[slappy508]

Me too man. honest that was my highlight of e3 that it is releasing this year. Hopefully you get a new skill tree to further build your character my Aloy is maxed out !

[Xb1ps4]

I'm going to have to look into the allies thing.. I want to say I'm sure I hearted them I always try to be the good guy but I did already beat the game so I hope I didn't ruin it.

[slappy508]

I dont think there are any missable trophies per se'; not sure if you need them specifically for that last sequence Im sure I did see some mention on the pstrophies.org forums the trophy can trigger post game

[Xb1ps4]

I can't wait to get this and I'm not one to buy dlc, matter fact I haven't bought dpc this gen unless it was a marked down game of the yr edition and even then I only have like 2 of those...

This will be the first game I will ever platinum I'm at 85% I do hate looking for those stupid Lil audio things tho.. wish I can buy a map in game from one of those guys to find them, just like the map that reveals all the metal flowers and stuff.

[iceman06]

This is the type of DLC that I don't mind. I generally HATE all micros (skins, boosters, gun packs, etc.) But, expansion content (when significant) I can get behind. That being said, the last expansion that I purchased was the Enter the Dragon-esque island expansion in the game Sleeping Dogs. It was just too much to resist the nostalgia of playing a Bruce Lee-like story with the grainy film filters. I wasn't disappointed in the least. All said, though, price and length will play a role in whether I jump in immediately or wait.

[slappy508]

All collectibles that you need to collect for the platinum are shown on the map . I think you can buy them from a vendor, can't remember which one though, I just remember using the map to find all my collectibles . The only thing that you have to search for yourself is the training dummies you have to knock over , those Audio playback you find randomly are just to add to the story, no trophies for those

[Xb1ps4]

Aahhhh...... thanks slappy for some reason I figured it would unlock one of those secret trophies.

I bought that map and found all of them already. Just have to figure out the secrets.. those dummies... a kill from above.. and not much else

[slappy508]

Yeah the dummies one is pretty much the hardest one to get. Oh and make sure you always use the heart dialogue option for the all allies trophy in some of the side quests,and that you do those side quests before the last mission of the game, that's pretty much all you gotta look out for. Otherwise it's a pretty easy platinum to get. The all allies one came naturally for me because I chose to do all the side quests I could find any way so it shouldn't be a problem for those that choose to go off on the side quests

[Silly Mammo]

This could be the 1st game I've ever platinumed. I finished the game and have done everything but the Hunting Lodge quests. I might finish those up before the Dlc release to get my robot killing skills sharp again.

[KickSpinFilter]

FYI, You can see what the hidden trophy is by selecting it and hitting square. Works on all games.

[joab777]

You don't need them for plat!

[fenome]

I'm stoked on this, I can't wait!!

I still can't believe I deleted my maxed out character after I got the Platinum and started a new game though. Gonna have to hurry up and get my new character all souped up before this drops. Lol

[RommyReigns]

If you're on PS+ you may have automatic save uploads enabled, so check your cloud saves for your previous maxed Aloy profile.

[fenome]

Great idea, I didn't even think about that! Thanks

[Tussin187]

Yes me too. I already Platinum the game but I'm going to wait until this come out and I have a 4k HDR TV and replay it again with the expansion. Black Friday needs to hurry up!!!!

[fenome]

Man, I've been saving up for a 4K setup and just found out my transmission is going out, there goes $3000. Gutted...

[UKmilitia]

im still really annoyed i havent had game+ added yhet though

[RommyReigns]

$19.99 preorder on PlayStation Store, $14.99 for anyone with PS+. I'm just waiting for a confirmed 2017 release date before getting the expansion, for me the expansion was the biggest announcement out of all the awesome announcements and gameplay reveals in the Sony E3 preshow and conference.

Got my maxed out Aloy ready (saves uploaded to the PS+ cloud) and waiting to take on the Metal Devil!

[joab777]

Never thought I would.likw this game as much as I do. Can't wait!

[UCForce]

After all, GG treat their game like CD Project Red treated Witcher 3.

[Sevir]

I can't wait to play this!

[Ceaser9857361]

Its not yet up on EU store.. Will preorder once i see it.. PS plus owners are getting around 30% off on it..

[zivtheawesome]

sounds like a very big DLC man and for 14.99 (for PS+) that sounds like it's really worth it.

[raWfodog]

I haven't finished playing the main game yet (been alternating between this and Persona 5) so this will be a welcome addition to my questing. I'm loving HZD's world and gameplay and look forward to getting this DLC.

[ZombieGamerMan]

So is it just a new story line set in the same map or is it a new map with a new story?

[UCForce]

We will find out soon. I think it's going to be like Witcher 3 expansion pack.

[ninsigma]

New area at least. Not sure if it's attached to the main map or not.

[Roronoa0411]

It says in the article that it opens up a new area and that you will have things to do in the original map as well. So I think its all one giant map.

The Frozen Wilds – to alter the state of the existing open world: “I understand there are some things happening in the original world as well,” he said. “It’s a new area that you can go into, but it’s not [just] that new area where things are happening.”

[RommyReigns]

The end credits are a big clue to what the story will be, also there was a specific side quest (not one of the main ones required for the all allies joined trophy) that briefly mentioned what was likely to be in the expansion.

There was a map leak around a month ago which showed the possible size of the expansion compared to the main map and it was MASSIVE https://www.youtube.com/wat...

[RommyReigns]

And here's the picture of the leak (faint black marks show the main story map, everything outside is possibly included in the expansion) http://imgur.com/a/GPbHS

[leemo19]

Been waiting for some new content for HZD, looking forward to playing this. I wonder if GG will introduce some new weapons or new creatures to face.

[iceman06]

I would almost bet on new creatures. Imo, that's kinda the root of this game...dispatching different types of enemies in various ways. But, new weapons would be icing on the cake.

[AlphaCentyros]

According to this article, Shuhei Yoshida said that there will be both new weapons and new machines :)

[Darkfist_Flames]

thats awesome :)

[Felsager]

Horizon Zero Down became the true entry of our current generation. It really delivers an immersible experience and tactical hunting throughout the whole game. Finally this is a product that fully satisfies their customers. We are excited to see further expansion packs and a sequel to this great game.

[Kingdomcome247]

Why you do this to me, Guerrilla? I'm so pumped for this expansion, and I'm almost treating it's release as I would the release of a new full game that I'm anticipating. My proverbial gaming plate is quickly becoming piled too high.

[StormLegend]

I can't wait for this!!!!!!!!!

[dreamoner]

Prolly expands the map like Hearts of Stone did for Witcher 3.

[No Way]

I'm really surprised more people haven't talked about this since their showing. I love Horizon - and I'm greatly looking forward to this! I want to see more about it. What does it add or change. Hopefully their will be new species added. More robot dinos!
