Players will be discovering the world with Aloy, exploring the ruins and mysteries of the past civilization. Aloy and the tribes are being designed with deep background stories that are impacted by the environment and vice versa.
In theaccompanying poston the Playstation Blog, studio co-founder and Managing Director Hermen Hulst went on to expalin that the choice to design Aloy’s appearance and personality all serve the story and gameplay.

Editor at Fextralife. I look for the substantial in gaming and I try to connect video games to the emotions and stories they elicit. I love all things culture and history and have an odd fondness for the planet Jupiter. I think my dogs are pretty awesome too.
