“Square Enix Has Some Competition”- Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores New Launch Trailer Lays Down the Carpet for the Stoked Crowd Awaiting the DLC’s Release

The trailer for the upcoming Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores DLC is here. This long-awaited DLC comes a year after the release of Horizon Forbidden West. Furthermore, the trailer has got the hopes of fans high from the DLC.

This minute-long preview presents Aloy riding a Sunwing into the new playable area, Los Angeles. The store page describes this land as “South of the Tenakth Clan Lands, millennia of volcanic eruptions and violent seismic activity have carved the ruins of Los Angeles into a treacherous archipelago.”

Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores’ trailer introduces new characters

PlayStation recently shared the trailer for the DLC on their Twitter handle. Guerrilla Games have kept the details about the upcoming DLC to the bare minimum till now. This gameplay trailer has revealed many key things that will be coming with the DLC.

The first notable thing is the introduction of Seyka, a new ally of Aloy. The trailer also showed many new characters, including Admiral Gerrit, previously mentioned by Guerrilla to be in the game.

The trailer also showcased the Waterwing machine. It is the first machine in Horizon Forbidden West that can fly above and dive underwater.

Finally, the trailer showed us the new weapon acquired by Aloy. While there is not an official name for this weapon, it sure looks like it packs a punch.

Burning Shores leaves PS4 out

The studio has also decided to keep the upcoming DLC PlayStation 5 exclusive. Guerrilla had released the base game for PlayStation 4 too, but this DLC will only be available on PS5. “On Burning Shores, since we can just focus on PS5, we’ve been able to charge forward and we’re really excited about what we’ve been able to pull off in creating this stunning post-post-apocalyptic version of Los Angeles,” the game director Mathijs de Jonge explained.

The decision now seems to be reasonable after looking at the trailer. The detailing in the game has definitely brought some competition for Final Fantasy creators’ Square Enix. Fans are commending Guerrilla for achieving realistic graphics.

The DLC will be available for the players on April 19 at the PlayStation Store. What are your thoughts on the new trailer of Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores? Let us know in the comment section below.
