Few games have inspired gamers as much as 2018’s Horizon Zero Dawn release by Guerilla Games. Aloy (despite the Nora) is a heroine with grit, determination, and innovation, whose mission to discover where she belongs (and where she comes from) is one that audiences all around the world can relate to.

The game offers a wide variety of costumes to match the different cultures of the post-apocalyptic world – from the Nora to the Carja, the Banuk to the Oseram, there is a cosplay to match each of these distinctive cultures. This week, as Horizon Forbidden West launches, we’re showcasing a variety of gorgeous Aloy cosplays. So go out for snacks, charge your Playstation 5 controllers and strap in – it’s going to be a long weekend of gaming & cosplay!

“Too bad for [Bast] that I’m going to win [the Proving], then.”

“Don’t overestimate yourself. You wouldn’t last long in the wilds.”

“Oh, are you going to shut your mouth? Because that would be a surprise.”

“You’re hardly my better.”

“Great. People finally stopped calling me ‘outcast’, and now it’s ‘savage’.”

“Uh, Aloy… Machinehunter.”

“You stab the machine with the pointy end.”

“”The Voice of Our Teeth?” Your bow has a name?”

“So much for small talk.”

“You make it so hard to like you.”

“Survival Requires Perfection.”

“Confidence is quiet, you’re not.”

“I fought my way past an army while you cowered in this cave, do you really think you can stop me?!”

“Everyone calls me ‘Aloy of the Nora.’ It should be ‘Aloy, despite the Nora.’”

“Not Oblivion, Sylens. Hope.”

“I’ll always have a minute for you. Maybe even two.”

“I’m guessing you’re not part of the Hunter’s Lodge.”

“And the Carja stole it from you.”

“They call you a Sun God who killed his own father in order to unite the tribes in harmony. Is any of it true?”

“What sort of ritual were these vessels made for?”

“So many people here, all talking at once. How does anyone think?”

“First you shun me, now this? I will not be worshiped! I am not your anointed!”

“Should have brought a cart.”

“Don’t look down. Don’t look down.”

“You’re an idiot. A dangerous idiot – but an idiot.”

“Oh, is it? Try it out for eighteen years, Teersa, and then let me know what you think.”

“The canister on its back— is that a weakness?”

“The device. It showed me!”

“Okay! Stop there if you want me to hear you out.”

“It wasn’t the sun risking its ass down here!”

“Can’t you send more soldiers to find the missing men? What about Walid here?”

“He has a… lovely singing voice.”

“He’s the Sun, he has total power and no friends? That couldn’t go wrong.”

“Um, it’s a ball of light in the sky. I’ve never seen anything dangling from it.”

“Oh, this is the Bed-House? With you standing guard, I figured it was the latrine.”
