Guerilla Games Game director Mathijs de Jonge has revealed the latest "Horizon: Zero Dawn" information on its features. The game's special edition and pre-order bonuses have also been detailed by community manager Jeroen Roding.
De Jonge tweeted his answers to questions that fans posted on his account about several features of the game. One fan asked about the upgrade system or the skill tree for Aloy's abilities, which the game director promptly answered that there will be a skill tree. The skills will be earned through experience, which is gained through many methods, including tactical play.

Roding posted on the official blog of PlayStation the different pre-order bonuses that the game will get, and also the special edition for the collectors. For those who will pre-order the game, they will get bonuses like the Nora Machine Trapper Pack, which includes the Nora Lookout Outfit, and the Nora Longshot Bow. The special edition has two versions, which are the Digital Limited Edition for $69.99 and the Collector's Edition for $119.99.
The digital deluxe edition will have two resource packs, two outfits, and two weapons for the protagonist to take advantage of. The collector's edition will contain a figure made by Gentle Giant, a 48-page artbook made by Dark Horse and contains the concept art of the game, a steelbook case with cover artwork, four resource packs, two outfits, and two weapons.
Stealth will be a good way to finish a mission in the game, but it will not always be the best option for the protagonist to follow, answered de Jonge in a statement. He also clarified that they will not be giving out the exact number of animals and robots to hunt in this game because it might spoil it for them, according to Dual Shockers. He also teased that the water is dangerous, so the underwater robots must be stronger than the ones on land.
The game director mentioned that the development team tried so hard to make each machine unique, in any way possible. He also explained that there will be no demo for the game because that will only cost them development time, and they would rather spend that on the actual game development.
