Horizon Forbidden West finds Aloy embarking on a mission to combat the red blight threatening all life while facing the Far Zeniths from outer space.
In the DLC Burning Shores, Aloy encounters Seyka in Los Angeles, and the two collaborate to tackle challenges, including defeating Walter Londra, without romance playing a part.
Aloy and Seyka's Dynamic in Burning Shores
Aloy and Seyka join forces to vanquish Walter Londra and his cult, showcasing a deep bond rooted in shared experiences of outcast life. However, their connection remains platonic.
Walter Londra's character satirizes real-world tech magnates like Elon Musk, bringing depth to the storyline.
The Absence of Romance in Burning Shores
Despite Seyka's romantic gesture towards Aloy, the timing isn't right due to Aloy's immense responsibilities, particularly concerning the looming threat of Nemesis.
Nemesis, fueled by hatred towards humans, adds complexity to the plot, hinting at the challenges Aloy faces beyond personal relationships.
Future of Romance in Horizon
The narrative choice to sideline romance aligns with the high-stakes world-saving narrative, leaving the possibility of romance in Horizon 3 uncertain until Aloy's mission concludes.
