‘Horizon Zero Dawn’ comics are a must for fans of the game
Comic book series of ‘Horizon Zero Dawn’ game continues the post-apocalyptic adventures of heroines Aloy and Talanah.
Guerrilla Games developed the game Horizon Zero Dawn, the story of a brave girl named Aloy who lives in a post-apocalyptic future.
This is a time where robot creatures roam the lands and are armed with deadly laser weapons. However, Aloy’s own arsenal consists of only the most primitive tools such as slingshots, a spear and a bow and arrow.
The game first came out in 2017 and for a long time the PlayStation 4 was the only way you could experience Horizon Zero Dawn.
All that changed in 2020 when Horizon Zero Dawn ported to PC and also received its very own comic book series.
