Back during the Game Awards 2022, Guerilla Games announced DLC expansion to their most recent game Horizon Forbidden West. Titled “Burning Shores”, the developer revealed more information about the upcoming content this morning. Guerilla released a brief trailer for Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores. It announced that the DLC is currently available for pre-order along with a couple of bonuses thrown into the mix.
The first bonus is the Blacktide Dye, which will be obtainable from the first dye merchant.
The second bonus is the Blacktide Sharpshot Bow, a new weapon obtainable from the first merchant in Burning Shores.
No further details have been confirmed about Burning Shores. However, the expansion will be a PlayStation 5 exclusive. Game director Mathijis de Jonge expressed excitement about the PlayStation 5’s capabilities to envigorate the DLC’s post-apocalyptic Los Angeles and player experience. He explained, “Using the PS5’s processing power we can run certain simulations at higher speed creating more lifelike results and a better gameplay experience. On PS5, the Horizon Forbidden West base game runs at a higher resolution and at a higher framerate than on PS4, and assets are more detailed which makes the overall quality much better.”
Burning Shores begins when Aloy receives a call over her focus after the final main quest Singularity. She will travel to a new region south of the Tenakth Clan Lands, which will provide players with a thrilling storyline based in the untamed wilds of Los Angeles, now a volcanic archipelago. Players will also be introduced to new characters, machines, and adventures.
Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores is scheduled to release on April 19th as a PlayStation 5 exclusive. The main game is currently available on the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog.
