Fans are counting the days left until the release of Horizon Forbidden West on February 18. In the weeks leading up to the game's launch, Guerilla Games has done an excellent job teasing audiences of what's to come in Aloy's latest adventure. This time around, Guerilla just dropped a new story-focused trailer featuring the stellar voice cast of Forbidden West.
On top of its beautiful and expansive world filled with gigantic machines, one of Horizon Zero Dawn's biggest draws is the rich characters that populate the world. It doesn't hurt that a handful of fan favorites have lent their voices and likeness to certain people in the game. Case in point, Lance Reddick as Sylens, who initially appeared to help out Aloy in her journey only to take a heel turn, as teased in Zero Dawn's ending. However, the latest trailer focuses less on Reddick's Sylens, but on Carrie Ann Moss and Angela Basset's new roles for the sequel.
According to Game Informer's interview with Forbidden West narrative director Ben McCaw, Moss and Bassett's characters in the game play important roles. Basset, in particular, joins as an antagonist named Regalla in Forbidden West, who has her reasons for hating the Carja tribe. Meanwhile, the enigmatic character revealed at the end of the trailer is Moss' Tilda, who McCaw describes has a connection to GAIA.
