Horizon: Zero Dawn protagonist, Aloy, has been influenced by some famous female characters, with Guerrilla Games confirming some of their inspirations in a recent interview with Official PlayStation Magazine.
"We felt we had quite an original composition and combination of elements with the robots and the nature, so we also felt like it needed an original and strong character to go with that," game director Mathijs de Jonge said (via GamesRadar).
"One of the directions we were very interested in was a character like Sarah Connor in Terminator, Ripley in Alien or, more recently, Ygritte from Game Of Thrones; very strong female characters. That's where we started."
When Horizon: Zero Dawn was unveiled during E3, everyone was impressed with the world created by Killzone creators Guerrilla Games. Now that we know more about the influences that have informed the design of its lead character, we can only look forward to it with increased anticipation.
