Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores is a DLC expansion for Horizon Forbidden West for PlayStation 5 and Microsoft Windows.[1] It was released on April 19th, 2023.
This expansion brings Aloy to the Burning Shores, a volcanic archipelago formed from the ruins of Los Angeles accessible after completing the main story.
Plot[]
After the events of Singularity, Aloy is alerted by Sylens, whose research into Far Zenith's logs has revealed that one of the Zeniths remains unaccounted for: the Zenith, former celebrity and CEO Walter Londra, has escaped to the Burning Shores south of the Clan Lands. Knowing that Londra is far too dangerous to be left alive, Aloy departs via Sunwing to the archipelago.
