However, Guerrilla Games wanted to introduce us today to Ryasthe character that we can control in this new entry in the franchise.

Although Horizon Call of the Mountain presents new characters, the truth is that the game will allow us to meet familiar faces, among which is Aloy, protagonist of Horizon: Zero Dawn and its sequel, Horizon: Call of the Mountaing. Ryas will have different types of relationships. “Having fought for the Shadow Carja, his relationship with other characters is confrontational at best. He will have to mend ties and redeem himself to be accepted,” Ben explains.
On the other hand, among the new characters stand out Hami, a loyal soldier of the Solminio de Carja that it was saved from the horrors of the Red Invasions by being assigned to the border guard. After losing many friends and comrades in this conflict, she will have a hard time taking Ryas as her escort, as she cannot forgive or forget the atrocities committed by the Shadow Carja.

The future of the Horizon saga
Recently, Guerrilla Games multiplayer Horizon art and gameplay was leaked that anticipated its graphic style similar to Monster Hunter and Fortnite by presenting a more cartoony look with more colorful maps than those seen in the released games and characters of different styles, each of them carrying a type of weapon, but with the same mission: to shoot down a Thunderjaw. However, this is material from the year 2020, so it could differ from the final unannounced product.
Beyond the expansion of Horizon: Forbidden West and the PlayStation VR2 game, Guerrilla already confirmed that he was working on new “solo adventures” with Aloythis possible online game that will introduce a new cast of characters and a “unique stylized skin” and a new “external project” of which nothing more has been detailed yet.
Of course, Horizon Call of the Mountain will serve to see how the saga works with a new character, although Guerrilla Games is already confident in the potential of the saga to take it to more genres. Are you interested in his proposal for virtual reality?
