Is open world RPG Horizon Forbidden West getting DLC? The original game, Horizon Zero Dawn, received a substantial post-release offering in the form of the Frozen Wilds – and now social media sleuthing suggests Guerrilla Games’ sequel could be about to get a second shot of content.
It was noted on Instagram that Peggy Vrijens, who performed all of Aloy’s action-heavy scenes, is back in the motion capture studio. Now this could be an unrelated project, but fans also spotted earlier in her timeline that she’s been hanging out with Louis Van Beek, who also did motion capture and some voice acting for the game. Intriguing!
It’s more than enough to set tongues wagging, but we should reiterate this could all be coincidental and is not necessarily evidence of Horizon Forbidden West DLC at all. That said, the plot of the game ends on a cliffhanger and there’s still plenty for the Dutch developer to eke out of its fiction, so it wouldn’t be the wildest thing in the world if an expansion was in the pipeline.
Would you be up for revisiting the Forbidden West, or have you had enough of Aloy and friends for now? Put an arrow between a dinobot’s eyes in the comments section below.

I'm in the middle of my Ultra Hard run and I've been itching for some expansion news. I wouldn't complain if it came with some challenge modes as well as a narrative expansion.
More Horizon content the better! One of the best games of the year!
This article just made my day! 😄
One of the most amazing games ever. Finished the main campaign last weekend (shed some tears), and will complete the rest of the content. A DLC is very welcome, can't get enough of this world!!
Need more! I'm always up for a revisit
Would absolutely love more content and there are some areas that seem to be perfect for expansion (south of the map)
February 2023 mark my words
Frozen Wilds was great. I'd definitely be up for some Forbidden West DLC.
Yeah, I'd be up for more Forbidden West stuff.
Well I will certainly play the dlc if it comes.
I actually just finished this. My all time favorite came at 125+ hours. I guess Ill hang on to my copy for a bit longer to see if DLC is announced.
Is it possible this is for Call of the Mountain? I'd imagine PSVR2 release date is Early/Spring 2023 judging by the decision to have it play a major role in the June State of Play.
If they resolve part of the cliffhanger with paid DLC fans will not be happy. As for me I would love any DLC, I loved this game, even though the ending was one of the lamest I have seen in a AAA title...
Bring it on! Frozen Wilds was solid im sure this will be even better!
I'm good, give me some Elden Ring dlc, DLC Gods.
I wouldn’t mind seeing Aloy have to visit what is left of Hawaii to help solve some problems in a Quen colony. Their homelands are, we assume on the other side of the Pacific and whilst this could be Polynesia they refer to their homeland as ‘The Delta’ (as in river) and if you look at the world map occasionally summoned by Gaia, Florida is missing and clearly underwater implying that during the Clawback, the sea levels still rose. Polynesia would be destroyed by this.
That'd be great.That ending suggests an expansion or pt3, but I'm leaning towards the former.
Given the quality of Frozen Wilds, any DLC from Guerilla would be welcome.
@TheArt My bet is a DLC for December or Q1 2023 and Part 3 2025-26. I believe I read somewhere they always planned for Horizon to be a triology.
Frozen wilds was exceptional, so anything of that quality and size is very welcome!
@Grumblevolcano Right? I was thinking this seemed more likely. Like I'd hope motion capture for an expansion would already be done. Can't even be that far out from now before its release. But Idk.
I’m about to get the platinum and start a new game plus Playthrough for the add on trophies... I have a question relating to the tokens needed for unlocking all the new gear etc., ideally, I want ultra hard out of the way as soon as poss but If I did do a run through on UH first to get the trophy, would I keep my tokens gained from my UH Playthrough when I start another NG+ on easy to finish of the tokens ? Thanks
PlayStation games showcase in September I’m hoping for the reveal with a drop date first half of 2023. I’ve been playing Horizon FW since launch day 175 hours in and setting on 78% completion. Only game I’ve given any significant time to since launch back in February. Guess I spend too much time admiring the scenery and farming for outfit and weapons upgrades. So HELL YES I want more and a HUGE expansion offering even more then the Frozen Wilds!!!
@Mikey856 Dont make the mistake of doing your ultra hard run on with out clearing everything needed for the trophy.. this happened to me on the last game so my last trophy was 'PLAY ON ULTRA HARD" and I finished it, then went into the FROZEN WILDS DLC and it was locked on UH, so now i am struggling to get my "kill 15 frostclaws/fireclaw" trophies. you cant go back and down grade the difficulty once you start, and I am too far in at this point to restart "THE FROZEN WILDS" all over again, eff that..
Sequel DLC would be lovely, here's hoping the gossip is true!
@MakersMark igy, I’m still on story grinding out the upgrades for the Nora thunder armour death seeker bow etc. then il back up the save before starting my uh Playthrough. So like yiu say, when the dlc drops I’ll be able to continue it on story with all top gear 👌🏻
