LEGO Horizon Adventures goes Gold, bringing the family-friendly adaptation of Aloy's original journey one step closer to launching in November.

Having now played about an hour of Lego Horizon Adventures, it feels like a game with great ideas that are restricted by the IP it's based on. I love the world of Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden West,

The Horizon franchise’s pure-fun conceit — smushing dinosaurs and robots together — proved irresistible for Lego.

Lance Reddick's tragic passing in 2023 hit a lot of fans hard. Gamers especially remembered him well, for his time as Commander Zavala in Destiny 2, and as the mysterious Sylens in Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden West.

Lego Horizon Adventures is recasting Lance Reddick's character Sylens after the actor died in March 2023. Sylens is the deuteragonist of Horizon Zero Dawn and a returning character in its sequel, Horizon Forbidden West. He allies with protagonist Aloy to discover the truth behind the machines and the fate of the Old Ones.

Going gold basically means that development of the base game is done, and it's ready for deployment upon the game's 14th November release date. There will likely be post-launch updates, as there always are nowadays, but the game is good to go.

Horizon developer Guerrilla Games has confirmed that Sylens has been recast in Lego Horizon Adventures, after the passing of Lance Reddick in 2023.

LEGO Horizon Adventures will recast Sylens, the mysterious and self-serving ally voiced by the late Lance Riddick in the past Horizon games.

In the best way possible, something felt different when playing Lego Horizon Adventures as opposed to the countless other Lego games. It didn't feel like a Lego game; it felt like a game that just happened to be portrayed through a Lego lens.
