Horizon Zero Dawn Update 1.20 Patch Notes Revealed

Action-RPG Horizon: Zero Dawn has a very solid future ahead of it. Not only is it going to an easy contender for GOTY lists and is likely to get some DLC at some point to keep people on the hunt, but it also has a very conscientious developer to ensure its longevity.

Guerrilla Games have spoke at length about their plans for the game and potential sequels, and they’ve already worked to patch out some of the kinks, such as bugs and glitches. The upcoming 1.20 update for Horizon: Zero Dawn, however, points at more to come for the future.

Most of the additions come from the Photo Mode, which it has to be said is probably the best I have seen in any video game. From next week, players will be able to pose Aloy and will also receive new filters to fiddle with, just so that horizon becomes even more beautiful.

Other graphical updates include more options for the HUD. Below you’ll find all the tweaks for update 1.20.

Like most critics, our own Nick Monahan was smitten with the game, going on to give it a 9/10 in his review:

“Horizon Zero Dawn boasts a stunningly realized vision of the post-post-apocalypse, accompanied by a fascinating and chilling mystery surrounding the fall of civilization and surprisingly deep and strategic combat which combine to create one of the best new IP’s in years.”
