Every video game franchise has unique patterns, with idiosyncracies stretching to seemingly mundane details such as time between releases, post-launch campaigns, and even spin-off cycles. Horizon is no different, and fans of Aloy's journey to save the Earth from forces that would love to see it destroyed are familiar with Guerrilla Games' traditions at this point. It's been a year since the Burning Shores DLC took gamers to the volcanic ruins of Los Angeles, and all eyes have since panned to speculation about Horizon 3's development. With tradition in mind, it stands to reason to expect the next installment to feature a full-blown DLC like its predecessors.
