The Art Of Horizon: Zero Dawn

The Art Of Horizon: Zero Dawn

Horizon: Zero Dawn isn’t just a very good game, it’s a very pretty game, and that goes all the way back to the game’s genesis with Guerilla’s art team.

The PS4’s newest exclusive, Horizon. Zero Dawn, is the rare game that delivers on that promise.”]

Below you’ll see a collection of images from early on in Horizon’s development, which show a young Aloy, some beautiful environment work and, of course, robot dinosaurs.

You can see more of them in the game’s official art book, which is out now.

Fine Art is a celebration of the work of video game artists, showcasing the best of both their professional and personal portfolios. If you’re in the business and have some concept, environment, promotional or character art you’d like to share, drop us a line!
