Horizon Zero Dawn – Where Machines Rule the Ruins
Few games manage to feel genuinely fresh, but Horizon Zero Dawn pulled it off by asking a simple question: what if humanity fell and robot dinosaurs inherited the Earth? The answer turned out to be one of PlayStation's defining exclusives, and our merchandise lets you carry a piece of that ruined future with you.
What defines Horizon Zero Dawn?
Horizon Zero Dawn is an action role-playing game developed by Guerrilla Games and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. The game released on 28 February 2017 for PlayStation 4, with a PC version following in August 2020. Set in a post-apocalyptic United States — primarily Colorado — the game combines open-world exploration with tactical combat against robotic creatures called machines. Director Mathijs de Jonge and writer John Gonzalez crafted a narrative that gradually reveals why civilisation collapsed and why machines now dominate the landscape. The score by Joris de Man, Joe Henson, and Alexis Smith blends orchestral and electronic elements to match the game's thematic contrasts. Horizon Zero Dawn is part of the Horizon Game Series, which continued with Horizon Forbidden West.
