Horizon Forbidden West Will Feature Over 40 Machines
Horizon Forbidden West will feature over 40 machines, far more than the 26 that were featured in Zero Dawn.
Since Horizon Forbidden West was announced, we've seen several new machines, including the boar-like Bristleback, Burrowers, Clamberjaws, and Slitherfangs. Although we've seen a lot of machines so far, it wasn't clear how many the player would encounter in the game, but the recently revealed Piggyback guide gives us a good idea of the final number.
