The DLC is taking gamers to the “untamed wilds of Los Angeles” with new enemies to face and a brand new storyline.
Sadly, it was additionally confirmed on their weblog that the DLC isn’t going to be accessible to these caught enjoying the past-gen model. The troublesome determination was made to chase the formidable nature of the DLC, which might be even more durable to make work on the PS4.
This motion, nevertheless, rubbed loads of customers the incorrect approach, feeling cheated that simply because they will’t afford the latest console, a console which is just simply beginning to be extra broadly accessible, they will’t proceed Aloy’s story. Some have points with the very fact the sport was on the PS4 within the first place in the event that they weren’t going to help each variations.
