Sony Interactive Entertainment has published a new hands-on report for LEGO Horizon Adventures, and with it comes a confirmation that the new co-op title from Guerrilla Games and Studio Gobo (Redfall, Hogwarts Legacy), a LEGO-inspired retelling of 2017’s Horizon Zero Dawn, will be launching this holiday for not only PlayStation 5, but also the Nintendo Switch and PC platforms via Steam and the Epic Games Store. One of the game’s key features is “laugh-out-loud LEGO humor,” according to the game’s official listing, which is live on playstation.com.
Sony’s Kristen Zitani on the new game and her demo experience:
- “Immediately the LEGO version of this world looks incredibly authentic, with every brick placed in a way that builds the world Horizon fans know and love. Aloy moves through the world in a stop-motion style that clicks right into place.”
- “The original voice cast has also returned to retell Aloy’s story with a cheeky tone, adding humor and playfulness that keeps familiar plot points fresh and delivers laughs for a wide audience.”
- “Aloy can use her bow for combat and to help navigate the brick-laden wilds. Holding the Square button lets Aloy aim her bow at specific targets. This is made easier by pressing R1 to activate her Focus, highlighting major targets in blue.”
- “A visit to the game’s main hub village, Mother’s Heart, is a must. A trip to the All Mother Tree allows Aloy and any co-op companions to upgrade their specific weapons or use Studs to purchase upgrades that benefit everyone.”
- “If one player loses all their health in co-op, they can be revived by the other player using the Triangle button. But be warned – upon being revived, you will drop any of the temporary upgrades you had collected up to that point.”
- “Certain ability upgrades can be used by any character and they come in handy during combat encounters. The LEGO Brick Separator unleashes a powerful melee move that can literally take an enemy apart.”
