Their latest AAA open-world adventure was up for six awards. On the red carpet before the ceremony, Studio Director and Executive Producer Angie Smets said: \u201cIt\u2019s absolutely fantastic to be here tonight, and it\u2019s such an honour to be nominated with all those amazing games.\u201d<\/p>\n
As for the recent passing of one of the Horizon franchise\u2019s stars, Lance Reddick<\/a>, Smets told RadioTimes.com<\/a>: \u201cIt\u2019s incredibly sad news. I think Lance was really able to bring Sylens our in-game character to life. And he was so loved by our community. It\u2019s still really a shock to all of us. He was still so young. It\u2019s been super sad to see him go at such a young age.\u201d<\/p>\n Actress Alison Jaye, who plays Alva in the Horizon series, also joined the tributes to Reddick. Jaye told us that she \u201cnever got to work with him directly\u201d but has heard \u201cthe legends and the wonderful stories\u201d.<\/p>\n Jaye added: \u201cIt was amazing, even in his passing to watch the massive community that came out around him. He touched so many people. I just wish I got to\u2026 it\u2019s wild to be in a game where you are with someone like him, but we\u2019ve never met, so yeah, hopefully we could bring something home for him.\u201d<\/p>\n The team did indeed go on to take home one gong, the Technical Achievement award. And all this comes at a time where the developers at Guerrilla are hard at work on Horizon Forbidden West\u2019s DLC expansion, Burning Shores, which is due to arrive on 19th April.<\/p>\n Studio Director and Art Director Jan-Bart van Beek said on the DLC: \u201cWe\u2019re very excited about that. We\u2019re taking that one to Los Angeles, which has always been a place that we wanted Aloy to go to. It\u2019s the home of movies, it\u2019s the home of entertainment, so the DLC will also see a play on that. And we\u2019re very excited for the players to go there.\u201d<\/p>\n Assuming that there will be a chance to come back for a Horizon Zero Dawn 3, do the developers have other pins stuck in the map of places they\u2019d like Aloy to visit? After laughing at the question, van Beek replied: \u201cThousands and thousands, but we\u2019re not going to tell them right now!\u201d<\/p> And with the recent launch of Horizon Call of the Mountain<\/a>, a spin-off for PSVR 2<\/a> that allowed you to play as a prisoner named Ryas instead of the usual hero Aloy, it feels like the franchise has opened up the possibility of seeing the Horizon world through multiple perspectives.<\/p>\n On that development, van Beek said: \u201cWe\u2019ve always figured that Horizon is a great universe to explore from many different perspectives. So we\u2019ve have Aloy\u2019s perspective, of course, but maybe we will also show other perspectives and other experiences in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n And what about Alison Jaye? Does the Alva actress know yet where the series could be heading? \u201cI kind of do,\u201d she teased. \u201cAll things that I cannot obviously share. But I\u2019m really glad that my character Alva became so beloved that hopefully she\u2019ll be back for more, so I\u2019m really looking forward to that.\u201d<\/p>\n As and when the future of the Horizon franchise comes into focus, we\u2019ll be sure to keep you posted.<\/p> ![\"""\"](\""https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2023\/03\/BAFTA-Alison-d0afb52.jpg?quality=90&resize=620%2C413"\" "\\"\"\"\\"\/")
