Guerrilla Games’ creative director has teased where players can expect the Horizon Forbidden West sequel to take the overarching story.In an interview with VG247 from April 14, Forbidden West’s game director Mathijs de Jonge talked about the title’s cliffhanger and how the team at Guerrilla want to use that alongside the game’s backstory to set up the sequel.“Horizon is really about mystery; each of our stories has been about uncovering mysteries in both the old world and the present day, when the game takes place. Indeed, there is plenty of backstory that we can tap into to develop new storylines and create new mysteries from what we’ve already established,” explained de Jonge.“And, indeed, this game ends with another big cliffhanger, where we’re setting up some things for the next game once again.”When Horizon Forbidden West was released earlier this year, it ended with the looming threat of Nemesis – a corrupt artificial intelligence created by the villainous group Far Zenith – as it approaches Earth.
