Guerrilla Games’ latest PlayStation exclusive has arrived in Horizon Forbidden West. With so much to take in, this Horizon Forbidden West wiki aims to help address any questions you might have while you’re playing.

Following on from its predecessor’s story, Horizon Zero Dawn, our red-headed hero ventures into the Tenakth tribe’s territory — the Forbidden West — in an attempt to get to the bottom of a blight killing the wildlife, vicious storms threatening the last remnants of humanity, and formidable new machines appearing across the world.

It’s an epic adventure, with an open-world absolutely jam-packed with side activities to do and machines to take on with Aloy’s varied and ever-growing arsenal of weapons she acquires on her journey.
