In an open post-apocalyptic world full of vegetation, giant mechanical creatures roam the landscape, taking control of the world from humanity.

People have gradually returned to a tribal way of life, living by hunting and gathering. They survive in a landscape filled with imposing forests, magnificent mountain ranges, and the impressive ruins of a forgotten civilization - while feral machines have gained strength.

You play as Aloy, a skilled hunter who uses speed, cunning, and agility to protect her tribe from the brute force of giant machines. She embarks on a dangerous, thrilling, and emotionally charged quest to uncover the secrets of a forgotten civilization, its ancient artifacts, and learn more about advanced technologies that will determine the fate of the planet – and all of humanity.
