PlayStation revealed a trailer of "The Frozen Wilds" at the convention. The game introduces new characters and storylines set in a new challenging arena. For game protagonist Aloy, she is set on solving the mysteries of the mountain. And in doing so, she must face a looming threat.
"Few dare trespass here, but those who do seek the glory of the hunt, to challenge themselves in a land like no other," the narrator, who seems to be a member of the Banuk tribe, reveals in the game trailer. "But they never find glory. Only death."

As seen in the clip, Aloy enters the scene, telling the tribe member that she is not in it for "the glory" but for the mountain, particularly to seek answers. The narrator then reveals that she must "face the beast that guards it" to uncover the mystery.
During the PlayStation Live discussion for "The Frozen Wilds" Guerrilla Games' Hermen Hulst admitted that the game comes with a lot of content, not just a few extra side quests. Players will get to explore the Banuk tribe as well as the frightening wildlands where they live in.
