Lego Horizon Adventures 2024
Lego Horizon Adventures is a 2024 action-adventure video game developed by Guerrilla Games and Studio Gobo in collaboration with The Lego Group, and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. It serves as a spin-off within the Horizon universe, reimagining events from Horizon Zero Dawn (2017) through a Lego-themed lens. Players control one of four characters—Aloy, Varl, Erend, or Teersa—from a fixed isometric viewpoint while fighting a rogue AI named HADES and a sun-worshipping cult led by Helis.
Gameplay combines linear platforming with combat mechanics that use the franchise’s weak-point targeting system. Between missions, players can customize their central hub village, Mother's Heart, using studs and bricks to unlock new decorations and outfits from various Lego properties. The game supports both local and online two-player cooperative modes. Guerrilla and Studio Gobo aimed to create a family-friendly version of the original’s darker narrative, utilizing Unreal Engine 5. Every in-game object was built from digital Lego bricks, and characters were animated using stop motion techniques.
Several voice actors from the Horizon series returned for this project, including Ashly Burch reprising her role as Aloy. The game launched on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Windows on 14 November 2024.
Critics gave Lego Horizon Adventures a mixed reception. While reviewers appreciated its visual design and voice acting, they criticized its repetitive level layouts, basic mission formats, and lack of open-world exploration. Despite these concerns, the title earned several industry recognitions, including an Outstanding Achievement in Art Direction nomination at the 28th Annual D.I.C.E. Awards and four British Academy Games Awards nominations at 21st.
