About

Beyond the northern mountains, the borderlands of the Banuk tribe challenge all who dare enter to survive the extremes. But now this frozen wilderness harbors a new threat, and for Aloy, a new mystery – one she’s determined to solve. The Frozen Wilds contains additional content for Horizon Zero Dawn, including new storylines, characters and experiences in a beautiful but unforgiving new area.

    Horizon: Zero Dawn delivers a timely reminder of why it should be a Game of the Year candidate with The Frozen Wilds. This sizeable selection of snowy quests expands upon an already excellent campaign with a decent new storyline and plenty of fresh exposition. While it is, by its very nature, more of the same, it’s hard to complain when the foundations are already so strong.

    Horizon: The Frozen Wilds DLC is everything a DLC expansion should be. It boasts new story, new weapon, new enemies, new characters, and more, and adds to the existing world of Horizon in a meaningful and impactful way. Any fan of H:ZD should absolutely check it out.

    With a new focused story, a harshly beautiful new area, new weapons, enemies and skills, Horizon Zero Dawn The Frozen Wilds is a worthy expansion of the open world game developed by Guerrilla Games. Ultimately, it's more of the same, as the expansion lacks any major new gameplay mechanics, but when so much love is put into a product, is it really an issue? Highly recommended to all Horizon Zero Dawn owners.

    I could summarize The Frozen Wilds in three simple words — it’s more Horizon — and that would be enough for some, but that simple sales pitch really doesn’t do the whole thing justice. The Cut is equally beautiful and treacherous, the struggle of the Banuk is fascinating, and the new machines lining this new world are awesome to take on.

    The Frozen Wild is a great DLC that takes the core game, makes some new additions, and gives player a reason to return to the world in great form. There isn’t much here to really persuade anyone that wasn’t hugely into Horizon, but that’s usually not the case for DLC additional content. While it might not have the same initial wow impact as the first time, it makes returning here much more incentive and is a nice reminder towards the end of the year, just how much I enjoyed my time with Horizon in March and now once again in November.

    While the new content in The Frozen Wilds is on par with the rest of Horizon Zero Dawn, it’s hardly a must-play expansion. The story tells us little we didn’t already know, and the new weapons and quests feel like more of the same.

    Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds

    Tenemos en este frozen wilds una expansión que continúa las aventuras de Aloy en un entorno lleno de nieve, nuevas criaturas y una historia que al igual que la original es muy interesante. Un imprevisible para los fans de la obra original.

    This game was honestly so good i liked the narrative

    The acting was horrible tought it got better mid game but it was something sometimes the graphics are awesome too and the music amazing and this is a game i could lose hours to all tought the open world could be bit more alive and the melee combat should be more impactfull and meaning full

    One of the few games I actually pre-ordered. Obviously I've played the base game before I pre-ordered this expansion, so I know I like the game and it didn't disappoint. I'd like more content but just me being selfish. Whatever they add here was really good. Very beautiful (or rather) dangerous new location and the best is the additional new and more difficult enemies. Can't wait for The Forbidden West. Hopefully I can actually buy a PS5 before that. Sony please make more PS5 for crying out loud!
