Horizon Zero Dawn’s Flame-Haired Lead Aloy Considered A “PlayStation Icon Of The Future”
Now that Naughty Dog’s beloved Uncharted series has effectively been placed on ice over at Sony – barring The Lost Legacy Dlc, of course – the Japanese platform-holder is in search of a new pixelated mascot to fill Nathan Drake’s boots. Enter Horizon Zero Dawn.
Due to arrive later this month for those in North America, Guerrilla Games’ bold new IP has generated a lot of buzz for its robotic dinosaurs and sprawling open world, but Sony believes it is the game’s flame-haired protagonist, Aloy, that will really resonate with players. In fact, Sony UK Product Manager Jon Edwards even went so far as to suggest that Aloy, a character loosely based on Ygritte from Game of Thrones, can go on to become a “PlayStation icon of the future.”
Not only that, but Edwards believes Horizon itself is here to stay, and has the potential of becoming an “exciting new franchise” for Sony.
