Horizon Zero Dawn is the hottest new IP coming this year and PlayStation Australia have released a trio of behind the scenes videos exploring the history of the game and the transition Guerilla Games had to make after previously specialising in first person shooters. Each video covers a different part of the development process for Horizon Zero Dawn, so make sure to watch all of them.

Horizon Zero Dawn releases exclusively for the PlayStation 4 on March 1st.

Guerrilla Games’ Managing Director Hermen Hulst, Studio Art Director Jan-Bart van Beek, Game Director Mathijs de Jonge and Technical Director Michiel van der Leeuw discuss the challenges they overcame in making the switch for the upcoming PlayStation 4 exclusive title.

Knowing that storytelling would play a central role in Horizon Zero Dawn’s creation, the team at Guerrilla brought in writing talent and formed a new group within the studio. Their sole focus: to flesh out a rich narrative and extensive history for the world of Horizon.

Creating Aloy, the protagonist of Horizon Zero Dawn, was a difficult process; there were many iterations before Guerrilla settled on the adventurous woman you see today. In the third video of the series, the Guerrilla team speaks about bringing Aloy to life and how she has been received by gamers around the world.
