Editing Horizon Zero Dawn (section)

==Franchise==
A sequel, called ''Horizon: Forbidden West'', was released in 2022.

Aloy continues to search for Old One knowledge as well as a way to restart GAIA (who had to be shut down after being corrupted by HADES), and in the process, she discovers that the Old Ones still exist... sort of.   

See, what we said above about fleeing to space being impossible? It was ''almost'' entirely true. A few ultra-rich still managed to get on a spaceship and flee Earth. There, alongside some scientists they kept for themselves, they managed to make themselves immortal and progress even further technologically than they were before. Now they're coming back to retake Earth for themselves, wanting to exterminate all the savages and "primitives" there (Really subtle, Guerrilla Games). They used their own clone of Elisabet Sobeck (called Beta) to get their own copy of GAIA so they can terraform Earth to their liking. From there on the game amounts to Aloy collecting various subroutines of Gaia (since the version she managed to get is an incomplete one) while trying to find a way to fight against Far Zenith. 

Oh, and it turns out Faro also received a version of the immortality juice, but not a perfect one. This prompted him to decide to stand next to a nuclear reactor [[Derp| to stabilize it somehow]], so he's spent the last millennium as a horribly mutated blob of flesh not unlike Metro 2033's Biomass, whom, according to scan readings, only has "minimal" brain activity. We don't get to actually see him but, from an holographic map of his bunker, he's grown to be ''huge'' and is so horrifying to look at that the guy who did so immediately ordered Faro to be burned to ashes. And then the entire thing got flooded with magma, just to be sure. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.
