Sony and Guerrilla Games released a new Horizon Forbidden West DLC trailer, and it looks like quite the expansion for the PS5 game. It opens with Aloy tracking an enemy to the south, with the help of her trusty winged beast, before things take a slight turn for the worse.
Aloy comes under fire from an unknown assailant, as bolts of blue energy surge forth from the top of a skyscraper and target her. On the bright side, she meets a new companion once she finds safety on the ground, Sekya. The pair will apparently explore the wilds of the Burning Shores together for at least part of the expansion, if not the entire thing, though the journey takes them back into the old places as well.
The ruins of a great city await as Aloy journeys farther than ever before.

One brief shot shows Aloy and Sekya speaking with a hologram underground, while another teases a joyful reunion in what looks like a burned-out computer lab, and there’s at least one expansive underwater ruin for Aloy to explore.
The trailer ends with Aloy wielding a fierce-looking new weapon – which some fans prematurely labeled a Zenith Gun – against a new machine foe of gargantuan proportions. This one is less like a machine version of a proper animal and more of a walking island, complete with a volcano on its back.
As for what Burning Shores is actually about, Guerrilla still hasn’t said. Much of the PS5 game’s expansion remains under wraps, though we don’t have long to wait to find out more. Horizon Forbidden West’s DLC launches only for PS5 on April 19, 2023.
