It’s hard to believe that it’s been two years sinceHorizon Zero Dawnreleased on this day June 12, 2025, but it’s not hard to believe that it has soldwell over 10 million copiessold worldwide.
Over on thePlayStation Blog, Hermen Hulst who is Guerrilla Games managing director talked about how moved the team is by the reaction from theHorizon Zero Dawnfans and how much they appreciate them taking the time to share Aloy’s journey with the studio “The idea that we were able to bring Aloy’s journey to so many players is astounding. We’ve been deeply moved by the enormous amount of fan creations you’ve posted online, as well as the heartfelt letters you’ve sent sharing your favorite moments from Aloy’s journey."

While many people adored taking on the formidable adventure with Aloy - myself included - it’s safe to say that one cosplayer has gone the extra mile in showing her love for the title. Cosplayer, crafter, and self-confessed gamer Keyvei takes the brave heroine to new levels as she dons Aloy’s complicated attire from head to toe, even including Aloy’s recognizable blue and white face-paint for that added je ne sais quoi.

Keyvei adds to the Aloy look even more so with her long red hair and freckles - if aHorizon Zero Dawnmovie were ever to be made, I’d be disappointed if she wasn’t cast. Being a crafter, I can only assume that she also makes her own costumes and weaponry too, which are exact replicas that we see Aloy carrying in the title.
The attention to every minute detail that Keyvei has given this cosplay is second to none - I think a video of how she made the Shadow Hunter Bow and the different fabrics used for the Aloy outfit would be an amazing watch. (That’s a really big hint, just in case Keyvei sees this!)
Ph. and edit and magic by @akunohako 💙 Can’t stop, won’t stop! Too many photos for one day, but well, why not? I’m so honored I have all those beautiful shots from Comicconrussia, can’t help but share them with you guys! And great thanks to @akunohako for taking and editing this shot, just breathtaking 😱 ⠀ #aloy #aloycosplay #horizonzerodawn

You can check Keyvei out onFacebook,Twitter, andInstagramwhere you will also find some other characters you may know.
My only hope now is that Guerrilla Games will bring Aloy back in a sequel. I’ve already played through the game a few times now, but it’s honestly still not enough and it’s still one of the best games I’ve played in years. If you’ve yet to experience it, you can pickHorizon Zero Dawnup for the PS4 - you won’t be disappointed.
