In celebration, the studio offers to share some of their development details for HZD all of which helped to shape the game. Right after they finished working on Killzone 3, the Intruder pilot Jammer from the game becomes an early prototype model for Aloy.
They began playing with gameplay elements back in 2010 and were having a tough time finding a suitable facial mock-up for Aloy but help came from Conversation Director Jochen Willemsen when he suggested Dutch actress Hannah Hoekstra for the role.

Sound design department was literally looking for needles in haystack listening over to more than 750 bird sounds and choosing only 30 to include in final cut. Different machines making various sounds defined their unique character as they mixed animal sounds to add natural vibes.
After initially mentioning the project briefly back in 2014, Horizon Zero Dawn was announced back in E3 2015 and has become the biggest project Guerrilla Games took on for publisher Sony after their successful stint on Killzone series.
