During this year’s Summer Game Fest, players got a glimpse ofLEGO Horizon Adventures, which brings a lighthearted and jovial twist to theHorizonfranchise. To the surprise of many, the game isn’t a PlayStation exclusive. Instead, it’ll be available on PC and the Nintendo Switch alongside PS5.
During the trailer, Aloy was seen hunting a few machines. Though this probably isn’t all the machines that’ll be present in the game, the trailer gives players a good idea of what to expect. It appears thatLEGO Horizon Adventureswill have many of the same machines found in the mainstreamHorizongames.
The following machines make an appearance intheLEGO Horizon Adventurestrailer.
Machines in LEGO Form
It’s quite suitable for machines to take on LEGO form. In the mainstreamHorizongames, machines are made up of components that Aloy knocks off with her bow and arrow.It appears that inLEGO Horizon Adventures, the same will occur, except the components will be made of LEGO blocks.
Machines in the Horizon Franchise
Machines weren’t always hostile in theHorizonfranchise.Things changed when the Derangement set in, and HEPHAESTUS, one of GAIA’s subordinate functions, began creating hostile machines. This forced the human tribes to build weapons to protect themselves against machines.
Aloy proves herself to be a particularly good machine hunter, and she has taken on massive machinesincluding Slitherfangs and Tremortusks. In theLEGO Horizon Adventurestrailer, Aloy is up against machines again, but she has some help from her friend Varl. This suggests the events ofLEGO Horizon Adventurestake place before the events ofHorizon Forbidden West.
There are still a few questions that surround the upcoming game, including what the plot is and what weapons Aloy will be wielding.LEGO Horizon Adventuresis set to release during the holiday season in 2024. Before then, players will hopefully see more of the machines in the game and more of Aloy and her companions in action.
