(Note: if you\u2019re having trouble with the link, first sign in on PlayStation.com and then try clicking the link again.)<\/p>\n<p><!-- AD: content --><\/p>\n<p>Aside from quite a bit of implemented player feedback (which we will highlight at a later date), there will be a bunch of new content to explore.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Two New Hunters<\/strong> \u2013 Aside from Rem, Sun, and Axle (who have each received improvements.), you can now get to know Ensa; a charismatic Oseram smuggler with a mercenary past. Or the mysterious Shadow, a Carja covert operative who commands a fearsome Stalker machine. We will be sharing a little more about them in the coming weeks.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A Playable Episode<\/strong> \u2013 Episodes play a central role in the game\u2019s narrative campaign by introducing new mysteries, characters, and mechanics. Pick your Hunter, ready up, and head into the wilds to save Ashwater Valley from a horde of machines.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Added Difficulty<\/strong> \u2013 Two familiar game modes return with higher stakes than ever, as the war against the machines continues to ravage the wilds:\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Machine Incursion<\/strong> \u2013 A high-intensity mission where waves of machines pour out from underground gateways, led by a formidable boss. To make things more interesting and encourage you to return for an even greater challenge, we\u2019ve added two additional difficulty modes: Hard and Merciless. We dare all Hunters to try and beat a Thunderjaw and a Ravager at the same time\u2026<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cauldron Descent<\/strong> \u2013 A longer, multi-stage trial pushing Hunters to their limits, from brutal machine encounters to hidden doors that promise power and reward for teams prepared to open them. Coordination and teamwork with other Hunters here are key to success, and our second playtest features even more challenging rooms to explore.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>New Region<\/strong> \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Travel<\/a> to Breakers\u2019 Bounty, featuring dense jungles and ravaged ruins bordering a scorching desert home to dangerous machines, in order to save the Oseram and stop the incursion. You\u2019ll also still have access to Devil\u2019s Thirst, and of course the Gathering: the central <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social<\/a> space where you can meet other players, build your loadout, and customize your camp.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Play Your Way<\/strong> \u2013 Training Modules have been added to improve <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a> onboarding for the game and its systems. For players wanting to master the hunt in Solo Mode, Hunter NPCs will be available for this playtest during Episode or Machine Incursion modes. These NPCs (either Rem, Sun, or Axle) offer battle assists where possible or can automatically fill an empty spot on a three-player team.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We want to emphasize again: <em>Horizon Hunters Gathering<\/em> is a game in development; we choose to playtest early and with small numbers to focus on the core experience and implement player feedback before opening to bigger groups of players. We learn a lot from each playtest and this second one is no different; we appreciate each of you who take the time to leave us your honest thoughts.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s much more to explore on your next adventure into the wilds.
