Sony has released a new behind-the-scenes look at the production for the upcoming Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores DLC. “Meet Seyka” takes us into the world of motion capture, giving us a look at how actress Kylie Liya Page plays Aloy’s new partner and what it’s like to act opposite leading lady Ashly Burch.
In the video, we hear from various Guerrilla Games staff, as well as Page and Burch. Burch describes Seyka as Aloy’s “match”; While Aloy is used to being a capable and in-control warrior, she will have to trust Seyka if she is to make it out of Burning Shores alive.
Meanwhile, Page describes herself as “beyond blessed and grateful” for the opportunity to join the Horizon franchise. burning shores it served as Page’s first motion capture role, and she says the experience was “intimidating”, forcing her out of her comfort zone. Despite that, once Page “found (the) freedom” to work in motion capture, she says she enjoyed the experience.

McCaw also says that “new mysteries” are the key to bringing something new to Horizonin addition to interconnecting those mysteries with the character of Aloy and new discoveries about herself.

Both Burch and Page also talk about the benefits of working together, as well as what their characters and burning shores as a whole lead to the Horizon franchise.
