The Regiment

The Regiment may have been some of the only members to survive for centuries, but they aren't all happy with humanity's downfall. With the Re-War opening over on the US market this week, it's clear that you want the humans fighting for freedom. The world of the anime has left most of the world a little rustic, and the civil war for the Third Paradigm is right around the corner. The human colonies have established themselves as the defenders of humanity. And in response, they've recruited a new member to serve as the new Guardian of Humanity.

But while the peace may seem like it's just a matter of life, there are other human factions fighting for freedom. The Seizo Clan is being attacked by an attack by the enemy, and the district of the city is shown to be riddled with slavers. It is the human bastards, militia, and highly intelligent giant mechs that are all likely to perish and die for the sake of humankind.

The situation has led to the involvement of dozens of people from all over the world. The first is Ace, a new Guardian of Humanity who has been established. The other two are the members of the revolutionary resistance movement, the Convict, and the chief enemy of the Federations.

In all, the main premise of Horizon Zero Dawn shows Aloy and the allies fighting against the Banuk tribe. The war is brewing with many people, and the few who survive are left behind in various colonies looking for a way to find and fix what's broken.

In the prequel Zero Dawn, the main quest finds Aloy visiting a settlement on the other side of the world. This settlement is where the Thunderjaw clan and its people live, as well as some very important and knowledgeable people like Zo. The Nora rebels, however, are still at war with the Banuk.

They are heavily religious, as well as technologically advanced, and they are willing to fight if they can help it. The few rebels that actually survive in the enclave group are in shock, though, as they were all killed by their own people. It's a devastating battle for survival and gives a lot of humanity a chance to live again, especially with Zo.

By the end of the game, Aloy realizes that Earth's population has shrunk to miniscule size. The true extent of this is revealed during the DLC's finale. Players who have encountered what they're supposed to be fighting for or who are truly against it can understand that the Banuk are extremely powerful machines.

There is some information about Horizon Zero Dawn's bad guys that's pretty notable, especially considering that the expansion's world is relatively small. It's also very likely that Aloy's friends know of the Banuk and are making their way to the base of the machines.

The game gives players some clues about the Banuk, and some of the most notable ones involve the fact that they actually have access to a ship which they have to explore and hear a distress signal. Unfortunately, none of these are available in the base game and seem to make any sense, despite the fact that Aloy and Zo were able to arrive at an outpost in Meridian that seemed to be devoid of human life and was able to meet all kinds of other kinds of people.

The ending of Horizon Zero Dawn is a bit anticlimactic, especially for those who know a little about the game's history. After Aloy accepts the call, her arrival at Meridian means that the Fireclaw and Tenakth clans have both been replaced by other tribal clans with yet more dangerous machines.

However, Aloy and the Tenakth can't figure out why the old clan are still alive. It's possible that the Tenakth are still the only surviving tribe in the Forbidden West and may be continuing to hunt the humans for unknown reasons. It's also possible that the story could explain why a newly built tribe took up residence in Meridian. If Aloy's hunt to the Sundom isn't an excuse for making some mistakes, then it's possible that a reintegrating of tribal clans may be just what the Fireclaw needed to bring about a peaceful resolution.

In the midst of all this chaos and strife, players likely won't be disappointed in how Horizon Forbidden West handles Aloy and her journey. Some of her previous adventures have made her feel like a fool for the people around her, while others like her rely on her to make a mark in the world. She's well versed in those techniques, and she's willing to get along with anyone.

A new Fireclaw known as Lingering Bahamut will take up most of the quest in Aloy's world. The leader of a tribe, Aloy, will be a central figure in the game's story, and it's a chance for her to prove herself as a worthy ally to those struggling with the planet.
