The 1.14 Patch dubbed a “Major Update” forHorizon Forbidden Westwill also bring in the Ultra Hard difficulty, the ability to reset an entire skill tree to re-tool Aloy’s skills, and new weapons and rewards, like face paints and dyes for New Game+. In addition, there is a new trophy set, like theGod of WarEaster egg trophies, along with finally the ability to transmog or take the look of a favored armor set and apply it to a piece of armor with resistance and perks that the player prefers.
With no chapter select option to redo specific events from the adventure, fans have to start a new game in order to reliveHorizon Forbidden West’s story and/or access certain parts of the map for missing lore logs. Players would prefer having the weapons that they’ve spent one hundred hours or more upgrading and becoming familiar with specific weapons and upgraded ammo types. New Game+ offers players the chance to have their favorite weapons throughout the game, skipping the grind to get favored weapons and upgrading them.
There were other inclusions in this patch, which include a 1.15 hotfix patch, a patch that makes a missing audio log available, and a host of patches for Main Quest, Side Quest, and Rebel activities. There was also a fix forcertain machine interactions inForbidden West, including a glitch that made machine parts fall through the map and become unreachable to the player to pick up. The Quen Imperial Guard also had an issue where their armor was stronger than other humanoid enemies and Guerilla has brought their armor stats more in line with other humanoid enemies.
Horizon: Forbidden Westis now available for PS4 and PS5.
