Life-size Horizon Forbidden West Clawstrider statues could win you a PS5
techradar.comIn celebration of the recent release of Horizon Forbidden West, Sony has erected several life-size replicas of one of the game’s robotic dinosaur machines in a handful of cities across the globe.
The Clawstrider is a new machine introduced in Forbidden West that's based broadly on the look of a velociraptor, complete with feather-like neck plumes and a retracted toe held off the ground.
A total of 15 1:1 scale statues of the robo dinos appeared in several cities on the game’s launch day, February 18, to promote and celebrate its release. You can spot them across the globe, including outside the Sydney Opera House in Australia, in Madrid’s Plaza Del Callo in Spain, London’s Waterloo Station in the UK, Moscow’s Depo FoodMall in Russia, Seoul’s Lotte World Tower in South Korea, as well as San Francisco’s Embarcadero Plaza and New Yorks’ Time Square in the US.
Each one stands about 3.5m tall and will be sticking around until February 24. There’s some variation between them, too, with the Clawstriders posed in different positions. The replicas in New York, San Francisco, and Sydney were even set up alongside an Aloy cosplayer dressed in a full Nora outfit and carrying a bow.
The Clawstriders aren’t the only statues Sony has been erecting. In Florence, Italy, a white statue of Aloy was revealed around the game’s launch. Titled ‘The Placeholder’ its plaque says the statue is intended to be an icon celebrating the courage of strong women across history.
