Will Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds Answer the Game's Biggest Mystery?

The Frozen Wilds is the first story expansion to Horizon Zero Dawn. The question is, will it be a standalone experience, or will it answer some of the game's lingering questions?

We have some theories about The Frozen Wilds, and what it could mean for the story of Horizon Zero Dawn. Be warned; there be spoilers ahead.

[SCW1982]

No, but it will be awesome.

[Soulst0rmer]

I'm super excited to play this DLC. Horizon Zero Dawn is incredibly spectacular

[SCW1982]

Agreed

[StormLegend]

Probably..... I'm just ready to play it and explore the frozen lands.

[CoryHG]

What why the characters have no damn personality? This game blows.

[xHeavYx]

But you swallow

[UCForce]

I don't think so, buddy. The game is so much more than you thought.

[MetalGearsofWar]

Its a game made for SJWs, but its not horrible.

[UCForce]

"Sigh" I swear a god that SJWs are dumb as anti-SJWs. I hate being choose between left and right. This is where I started to hate you and them. For years, I have been questioned by these two. They asked me should I choose diversity or traditional route which gave me a lot of headaches. I rather let developers decide whatever they do with their games. Even someone said this : "Do I trust original people will lead the future by themselves? I don't know, but it's better than being lead by a person who has their own agenda".

[MetalGearsofWar]

@UCForce
Im not SJW nor anti-SJW.

[UCForce]

Oh really ? In previous comments of your, you are basically anti SJW from get go. I played and finished HZD. The game is more than that.

[MetalGearsofWar]

@UCForce
I do point out what games have an agenda and which dont. Personal observations.
You are free to buy and support any dev you want, and so do I.

[UCForce]

Let me tell you this, this game have been developed about 6 years ago before the whole shenanigans begun in 2014. GG planned and crafted this game carefully ever since. GG said Aloy was original concept of the game. They wanted us gamer to know who she is and what her motivation is, not her gender. Aloy is a fan favorite. And there are bunch of cosplayers and fan arts based of her.

[No Way]

SJW. Idk what SJW even stands for or what it is. :D

[MetalGearsofWar]

@UCForce
SJW movement did not start this year nor last year, maybe around 2010.

[UCForce]

I aware that back then. But 2014 was major impact on both sides and it caused huge conflict.

[guyman]

Just mark as spam and move on

[G20WLY]

Mods don't seem to care anymore. They gave up a whole back, I think?

More Horizon is a good thing for anyone who enjoyed the game, which is everyone that played it, as far as I've seen.

The haters are those that can't play it. Simple as that.

[Liqu1d]

Mods have abandoned this site. They posted updated guidelines yet have done nothing to enforce them. There is maybe 2 active moderators at most, the rest don't care. They'll be quick to mark this as inappropriate though.

[DragonDDark]

Why not hire new mods?

[rainslacker]

@Dragon

Mods aren't paid. They're all people who were part of the community at one time. They spent more time talking back then, and while I only knew coolbeans and christopher as their pre-mod selves, their comments were usually pretty good....particularly coolbeans. now, they barely talk.

Anyhow, it's rare people come along which show they would be appropriate as moderators. Either they don't know the actual rules of the site, or they have too much bias to make them be fair. I'm sure there are some that exist, but nowadays, they're harder to find, and I'd imagine a lot of them don't speak up much anymore based on the general tone that we see on N4G nowadays.

In any case, I don't know why anyone would want to be a mod. Might seem like it's cool because you can "clean things up", but realistically, it's just a hassle and it doesn't really offer much, if anything in return.

[RommyReigns]

Feldman9000, you have just earned a nomination for the 'Most Deluded Comment on N4G - July 2017', for obvious reasons.

"What why the characters have no damn personality? This game blows."

Here we have the testament of a true dumbass.

Kudos.

[Felsager]

Feldman900020

Get a PS4 and stop making these comments.

[Pantz]

Why everyone has such gross hair

[bloop]

Because there's no hot showers, shampoo or hair dressers in a post apocalyptic world. Duh!!

[Pantz]

People had hot baths, and ways to clean their hair lonngggg before the modern age. So you're saying they salvaged anything and everything from the machines, except for something that could be used as a hairbrush? Nope, they intentionally made the characters ugly for some reason.

[bloop]

I was clearly being sarcastic.

[UCForce]

You didn't see enough,buddy. There is bath and other stuffs in HZD. The Meridian City have all the stuffs. They do use those fancy stuffs, but not like our world because this game is set post apocalyptic where Human restarted a new life and using machine part to survive, not just regular. Calling their hair ugly ? I don't think so. Not even that close.

[Pantz]

Looks like rats nests on everyones heads. The machines are doing the right thing.

[UCForce]

The machine was doing right thing. But it was messed up by someone later on. And no, you didn't see enough.

[jznrpg]

Don't know but I know it will be good. Sony had made a ton of money from me this year, I anticipate next year being just as bad on my wallet.

[ThatGuyDart]

Buying this day one

[mkis007]

You should buy it now!! Ps plus has 5$ off so it's only 15

[RommyReigns]

I expect it to solve the mystery of the volcano and the Banuk origins at least, but I think the Sylens/Metal Devil stuff will be saved for the sequel (or if there is no sequel, then in another Story DLC).

[fenome]

Oh, I'm sure it's going to have a sequel. They've already talked about it being a franchise and it sold well and came out with critical acclaim.

I agree that they're probably saving the heavy stuff for a proper sequel.
