About this game
Welcome to a vibrant world rich with the beauty of nature – but inhabited by awe-inspiring, highly advanced machines. As a young machine hunter named Aloy, you must unravel the mysteries of this world and find your own destiny.
In a far-future world where primitive human tribes coexist with enormous robotic machines, a young outcast named Aloy sets out to uncover the truth behind her mysterious origins. Raised in exile from the Nora tribe, she ventures beyond her homeland into a vast and dangerous land, seeking answers about her past and the ancient civilisation whose ruins litter the landscape.
