A pulse-pounding trailer has just been released by Guerrilla Games and Studio Gobo, showcasing Aloy’s thrilling battle against a ferocious Thunderjaw in their latest installment. Despite initial reservations, the evening quickly takes a turn for the unexpected as she breaks into song, belting out the catchy tune “Tubthumper” by 90s icons Chumbawamba. Even the Thunderjaw joins in. Test it out under.
The trailer’s subtlety notwithstanding, it’s clear that this spinoff has a gentler tone compared to the main series’ typical intensity. While primarily grounded in its narrative roots, this iteration of the franchise surprisingly pivots away from the gritty tone, instead injecting a healthy dose of humor as Aloy embarks on a poignant journey to uncover the truth about her mother’s fate within the ravaged post-apocalyptic landscape. While the gameplay avoids descending entirely into collectible-focused territory, similar to other titles, it does incorporate a complementary cooperative element.
Out on November 14th for PC, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 5, it has reached gold status nearly a month prior in late October. It will likely require around 7-8 hours of dedicated effort to complete this task. Explore bespoke outfits for Sackboy, tailored to the Digital Deluxe Version’s exclusive themes?
