Map of Horizon Zero Dawn.
Map of Horizon Forbidden West.

1/4

The World of Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden West is filled with many diverse, beautiful environments and locations. Cities such as Meridian and Sunfall are where Aloy can find new quests and characters to interact with. The environments consist of rich jungles in the south, cold forests and fields on the mountains and hilltops in the east, and an arid and dusty desert-like plateau in the middle and northern parts of the map.

Horizon Zero Dawn's world spans a wide range. The approximate width of the map, assuming that each unit step is equal to an imperial foot, is around 20,000-21,000 feet, or about 4 miles.

Aloy can also use the map to fast travel between certain places like settlements, Gates, Hunting Grounds, Campfires, and landmarks such as Rost's Grave. It also includes information on location such as Ruins, Cauldrons, Machine sites including Tallnecks and Corrupted Zones, Quests, and Collectables including Vantage Points, Ancient Vessels, Metal Flowers, and Banuk Figures.

Real World Basis[]

The game world is located in what was previously Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, California and Nevada. Vantage points reference real world locations such as Denver, Colorado Springs, and Bryce, UT. Locations such as Lake Powell and Bridal Veil Falls are directly based on their real-life counterparts, while the Air Combat Academy, the Sterling-Malkeet Amphitheater, and Denver Stadium take inspiration from real-life locations.

Compared to real-life, the world featured in Horizon Zero Dawn is scaled down by approximately 107.5:1, with the several hundreds miles of real-world geography being condensed to only a few miles. Guerrilla Games stated that the reason for the massive scaling down of the world was to provide a denser gameplay experience.
