Horizon Forbidden West has yet to receive such a luxury, and there are currently no plans to extend Aloy's journey before the third game hits shelves. Horizon Zero Dawn received further content in the form of The Frozen Wilds DLC expansion, bringing the snow-dwelling Banuk tribe into the fold. Its harsh yet stunning environments and elaborate but expertly crafted script ensures players will keep returning to its take on the California coastline in the months to come. A third game is inevitable as Horizon has so many unique quirks that makes it so ripe for new stories and adventures to unfold. It improved upon the first game in so many ways, and presented a story that gave satisfying answers and left even more intriguing questions. The Burning Shores DLC is PS5 exclusive.Despite being overshadowed somewhat by Elden Ring, FromSoftware's latest masterpiece, Horizon Forbidden West still garnered strong sales and immense critical acclaim when it released earlier this year. Horizon Forbidden West is out now for PS4 and PS5.

Fans may be treated to more Horizon Forbidden West updates, but they shouldn't hold their breath for another major DLC expansion. Horizon Zero Dawn, the previous game, only had the Frozen Wilds to its name, though it did receive other major updates for free. It's possible Burning Shores will be the only major DLC released for Horizon Forbidden West. While some fans may be happy that the Burning Shores DLC is taking better advantage of the PS5 hardware, the review bombing efforts make it clear that others are not happy about it. However, there were certain things in the Forbidden West DLC that Guerrilla couldn't accomplish with the older PS4 hardware, and so the decision was made to make the DLC PS5-only. The argument has been made that if Guerrilla was going to release DLC for Horizon Forbidden West that was going to be PS5 only, then the base game should have been PS5 exclusive as well. This has been controversial since the Burning Shores expansion was launched, so it's not surprising to see fans still upset about it. Whereas the base game of Horizon Forbidden West was a cross-gen experience available on both PS4 and PS5, only PS5 gamers can play the DLC. The other reason that disgruntled fans are flooding the game with negative reviews is due to the fact that it's only available on PS5. Giving Aloy the option to be gay is not the only reason why the Horizon Forbidden West DLC is being review bombed. This is unfortunate, but likely a reaction that was anticipated by Guerrilla Games when the choice was made to incorporate LGBTQ+ elements into the DLC. Looking through the user scores, it's clear that one of the main points of contention that the upset fans have with the DLC is that it gives players the option for Aloy to pursue a gay relationship. Whenever there's such an extreme discrepancy like this, it's usually due to review bombing efforts - people who are giving the game a ridiculously low score and not necessarily being genuine about it.

While the reviews for the expansion haven't quite matched up to the praise heaped onto the base game, it still has a respectable 81 average critic rating.

The Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores DLC has been positively received by critics so far. Horizon Forbidden West first launched last year to rave reviews from critics, and now Guerrilla Games has expanded the story with the Burning Shores DLC. Horizon Forbidden West's newly-released Burning Shores DLC is being review-bombed.
