"Varl can bring things to the table, and then Erend breaks the table with a hammer" I literally can’t wait to see these two team up they’re going to be hilarious

[@karinayanez6500]

Well he ded

[@neshandajohnson5940]

They became good friends. Unfortunately Varl is killed protecting Aloy💔

[@DanAllenGaming]

WOULD LOVE TO INTERVIEW THIS ENTIRE CAST. CAN'T WAIT FOR THE GAME!

[@Anonymous-ux8ku]

Please do

[@NoxaClimaxX]

I love Kotallo already: I mean, who the heck stops a charging machine by meeting it head-on like that?!

[@flossyjb]

The most beautiful game I have ever played! Horizon is my favourite game, the graphics and storyline is just STUNNING! Hoping that there are many more games with Aloy and this world to come!

[@nigeldashy]

Man can’t believe Lance is gone💔😪

[@fmj329]

THEY GOT FUCKING TRINITY TO PLAY A BAD GUY!!!!!!!!!!

[@wilhelugia]

So excited to finally explore the story of the game in just a few weeks! Ahhh! Can't wait!

[@biritimba]

Can't wait to see the whole team again and the new ones !!!! It's gonna be a masterpiece !!! and Aloy, can't wait to be you again !!!!

[@el-ra4569]

Ya no puedo esperar a jugar!! / I can't wait to play! 🥺✨

[@NoshirDalal]

I’ve wanted to be a part of the Horizon universe since playing Zero Dawn years ago. Can’t wait for people to meet Kotallo!

[@funtime_error_]

What a dream to come true! He looks really interesting can’t wait to meet him!

[@shydreameress264]

Just seeing the character I don't know why I feel like I'll like him a lot. I think he reminds me of Rost in some ways. He seems like a lone warrior, strong and not too talkative, but mostly broken by his past.

[@user-vf9sv1xu3v]

Really looking forward to meeting your character!

[@deyliramirez382]

CONGRATULATIONS! You've landed the job a lifetime! I can already tell Kotallo is going to be one of my new favorites! I'm so excited to see his journey!🤩

[@guerrillagames]

We are absolutely thrilled to have you in the cast of Horizon Forbidden West! Not long to go now!

This cast is on fire! 🔥 What a brilliant video!!

[@nshippudennaruto2814]

Agreed! Btw love your channel!

[@shichilaofa]

Lesbians should not be included

[@Kevin-en5lm]

I was excited to see Varl having a returning role, but just in general I'm impressed with the whole cast. February 18 will be a great day.

[@lemming9984]

Love interest?

[@KeepingItFishy]

Yes it will, also the day uncharted movie comes out 🔥

[@rbl4ever187]

Lance's voice as Sylens is so awesome and distinct that every time I hear his voice it puts you in a cliffhanger moment commands your attention to hear what he has to say.

[@marenelinea]

Spot on!

[@gandalfpotter2149]

It also sounds like his voice is coming through a speaker(even when face to face), which makes him sound inhuman, very fitting of his character

[@tobychowx3746]

Talk abt distinct~i didnt knw who lance was even tho i spent more than 400hrs on zero dawn. Not long ago I was watching young sheldon n saw this guy playing as a professor who looks really familiar, n its until he speak I then realised that’s Sylens!!!

[@Lucy-cl2qk]

Yup, he's great

[@TwirlingFern]

Rip Sylens actor.

[@DeividManuRos]

I love Ashley Bursh. I really admire her both as a person and an Artist.

[@TheMrblessed]

Same.

[@1nine8two39]

Love her in Mythic Quest as well

[@js-ny2ru]

Couldn't stand her voice in this one...

[@dblundz]

Seeing that Carrie joined the cast is such a highlight, can’t wait to meet her character !

[@eden20111]

Carrie Anne Moss: “I love playing manipulative characters”. *recalls back to Mass Effect series* Yup she’s really good at that.

[@chadbizeau5997]

Lance Reddick is such a great actor, voice or on screen. He has a powerful voice and can easily steal a scene. A perfect actor for Sylens.

[@jermzx2]

OH MY! Didn’t expect a cast video like wow you guys surprise us everytime and I love it! Everybody from Ashly Burch, Lance Reddick & Many More Gonna Steal The Show In H2FW! 🏹🏹🏹❤️❤️

[@japkap]

So looking forward to getting back to this Horizon world.

[@josh0156]

I like that the actors are doing their own mocap and actually getting to work off each other's performances. This is the kind of effort this game's story deserves.

[@sethfeldpausch4337]

Wow! Erend’s VA does a REALLY good American accent!

[@CLC-1000]

He is fantastic isn’t he? You should check out his other work. He does audiobooks too.

[@catdogsquirl]

So crazy seeing Ashley killing it in so much these days. Who else remembers the "hey ash whatcha playin" days?? Dad always kills me.

[@TheMrblessed]

So proud of her. It feels weird being so happy for a complete stranger, but I am.

[@tonwisniewski]

So, Sylens plays Lance Reddick in real life?

[@MrThelonicus]

The moment Carrie Ann Moss was revealed to play Tilda

[@KacperLipa]

This game is arleady a masterpiece 💜💜💜💜

[@The-Vitruvian-Man]

Forbidden West will be a top notch experience. Zero Dawn was a very solid foundation to the franchise and every aspect of the game looks to be ratcheted up a notch or two. Lookin forward to this next month and hopefully we see several more Horizon entries going forward.

[@orijimi]

Erend is the one case where the real person is more handsome than the in-game equivalent.

[@CLC-1000]

Isn’t he amazing? He is my hero.

[@maxgrieve]

Seven and a half minutes of heaven - could never get enough of hearing this talented group of people talk about bringing these amazing characters to life.

[@damienjohn]

What a great cast. I'm excited to see how the story of these characters' unfolds. Carrie-Anne Moss is an absolute badass. 🥰

[@merion297]

Wow, Carrie-Ann Moss as Tilda: when I saw her character in the story trailer, first, I immediately thought that she's manipulative. She must be not a simple ally. It's incredible that not just Ms. Moss is capable to play on that exceptional level where we can understand the character she plays even just seeing it for 1-2 seconds only but the face-cap itself as well. Finally, the face-cap can display such fine details that the actress' talent can shine through the graphics. 🤘🏼 👏👏👏

[@PlanetShlorpian]

Sure Xbox has Activision but the thing that they lack is the generation defining exclusives like Forbidden West that Sony has. As MBG said, Sony has something that can't be bought, and that's the sheer talent at SIE studios.

[@bamban_garcia5562]

Microsoft would buy the entire video game industry just to get that talent which is honestly terrifying

[@PlanetShlorpian]

@@bamban_garcia5562 Yeah it is. Their cOnSuMeR FrIEnDLY attitude isn't fooling anyone. They're trying to monopolize. Maybe if they start doing it too much the numerous US and EU anti trust laws will prevent them from doing so.

[@thegreatfulgamer5749]

Great actors. Thank you for bringing this experience to life. Very inspiring

Amazing Game, and I came from Xbox just for this game. Let´s hope there will be many more Horizon games, even after Nemesis (Horizon III) and Call of The Mountain.

[@tiromandal6399]

Damn I can't get enough of Erend's voice!!!!!

[@merinimohamed7045]

Still surprised how they got Carrie Ann moss for Tilda. Love her. Such a great actress! When I first heard her voice I was like "waiiiiit". Great choice!

[@matrolen]

I don't know where people are at with the whole HFW vs ER. Having beaten both, I just want to say to Guerrilla; you guys have made a wonderful and unique game (and sequel)! The story you tell with HFW is so amazing, engrossing and involved . There is so much love put into it. There's absolutely no reason to be looking into the neighbor's yard. Be super proud of your game, the World you created and the experience for your fans. I can't wait for the next installment of this franchise or whatever you guys come up with next!

[@HugoStiglitz88]

I like horizon more by a mile.

[@theprecisioncreator6208]

[@SireDragonChester]

can't wait. Loved first game and DLC, play it prob like 3-4 times or more then end up buying pc (though PC port kinda sucked at first. @Guerrillia why didn't you use Vulkan api instead using bloated DX 12 for pc port) But still can't wait to play Forbidden West on ps4 and hopefully ps5 at some point :)

[@lucasherr3828]

the best game I've ever played. thanks to everyone who helped creating this piece of art!

[@JoeHuman]

HORIZON is by far the story I've enjoyed most in my 30+ years of gaming. Super stoked to continue playing in this world. ✌🏾🤟🏾

[@1nine8two39]

I don’t wanna watch this video because I’m learning too much before I actually play the game but can’t stop because it’s Horizon

Wow the facial expression in Forbidden West is 10000x better than Zero Dawn, just by this little cutscenes.

[@deltavictorbravo-7428]

No Angela Basset? Also I am betting that Sony will make a movie out of this game, the world and the lore is just astounding

[@aubreysummers1729]

Erend is the best! If y'all kill him off I will cry.

I think I will too. Alongside Aloy, he is my favourite character in the game.

I can't believe this runs on PS4. They're doing such a great job.

[@opalescentrosesb.w.3774]

Finished a few weeks ago, it was incredible…..I’m gonna miss the hell outta Varl though……

[@SunlessSage]

Yeah, the game is amazing. Story wise it suffers a bit by being the middle entry of a trilogy, having to fill the bridge between an already really strong opening and an hopefully great conclusion. But they circumvented that very nicely by putting the attention so much on character development. I really wished to see more of Varl, I really liked the direction they took with his personality and how he interacts with others.

[@MrVidau]

Carrie-Anne Moss!!! What?!

[@cruxofdarkness7698]

Lance Reddick comes on screen “whether we wanted it or not, we’ve stepped into a war with the cabal on mars.”

[@xxnike0629xx]

With Carrie-Anne Moss in the game, it would've been perfect if Keanu Reeves was in the game as well. I *really* hope that we get a native PS5 version of Horizon Zero Dawn. Heck, just port over the PC version and add in haptics, 3D audio, etc.

[@cirescythe]

That would be great. Ports years later are ok ish. But i dont want to constantly have the feeling that i get punished for owning a playstation by paying the highest price for the worst version.

[@xxnike0629xx]

@@cirescythe I'm surprised that we don't get more native PS5 versions of existing PS4 games. It would be very profitable for these companies to do so; especially if there's something they can base said port with. With the case of Horizon Zero Dawn and God of War (2018) they can literally just port over the PC version and add in the haptics, 3D audio, etc.

This just made my day a thousand times better!! I absolutely love seeing all the behind the scenes stuff for video games. From seeing the voice actors recording their lines, to watching the motion capture for the cutscenes, and interviewing the cast about the characters they play, and learning more about the universe the game takes place in. It's all so breathtaking, and seeing how everything comes together to create something so beautiful as Horizon Forbidden West!! I cannot say Thank you enough to Guerilla games, and to everyone who helped create the wonderful universe that is Horizon!! So much love and respect to all of you!! ❤❤❤❤❤

Hah I knew a cast trailer would come next after learning about some of the new names in the cast from eurogamer and other sources 😁 And finally a little dialogue between Aloy and Sylens aaaaaaah!!! 🤪

[@deyliramirez382]

I can tell that EVERYONE in the cast did an INCREDIBLE job! Ashley's description of Aloy's relationship with Sylens as, "I hate this guy, but I need this guy" is so true & I agree 100%🤣. Not only getting to hear but also SEE Lance Reddick, John MacMillan, and John Hopkins reprising their roles as Sylens, Varl, and Erend was amazing to watch! John Hopkins' description of "Varl can bring things to the tables and then Erend breaks the table with a hammer" is perfect!🤣 The cast for the new characters looks so promising and I'm so excited to see how their characters fit in Forbidden West! Also, hearing Ashley say, "I'm also just excited to play it when it comes out" and that all of the other cast members are just excited Forbidden West as we are is so heartwarming! (Is Ashley going to stream her playthrough of Forbidden West? I'll watch it!)🤩

Watching this has literally made me tear up. And now that I'm trying for PC only, it makes me tear up even more that it might be a 3-year wait until I get to play this, continuation, of a game that meant so much to me at a point in my life where it was really needed. I cannot wait to play Forbidden West on PC
