Sony's PlayStation has another hit franchise on their hands with Horizon Zero Dawn. There is much potential with the series yet to be exercised. Let alone its groundbreaking visuals and role-playing elements, Horizon Zero Dawn is an extraordinary game in part because of its outfits.
Character customization in Horizon Zero Dawn is more polished than we've seen in similar games. Each outfit has unique bonuses and is well-crafted, making them appealing to the eye. Naturally, cosplayers have tried to replicate Aloy's several appearances, and the results are stupendous. These are 10 Horizon Zero Dawn cosplays that are next level!
10 "First You Shun Me, Now This? I Will Not Be Worshipped! I Am Not Your Anointed!”
The range of emotions we see in Aloy could indicate that she is a benevolent person. We didn't see too many close relationships in Horizon Zero Dawn, but it's not out of the question for us to see romance in the Horizon Zero Dawn sequel.
This cosplay has a striking pose, it's spear is highly accurate, and the photograph was taken at the right angle. All-around this is an excellent cosplay photo. This is perhaps the most accurate Horizon Zero Dawn cosplay in this compilation. Kudos goes to Artcore Cosplay for this Aloy cosplay!
9 Horizon Zero Dawn Nora Brave Outfit
As the leading protagonist of Horizon Zero Dawn, Aloy makes questionable choices throughout the game, such as choosing to disobey tribal law early in the game. Her love for her father blinds her sense of judgment.
This cosplay shows one of the earliest outfits that you unlock in the game. It's called the Nora Brave outfit, and it can be obtained from Teb in Mother's Heart free of charge. It's not the most advantageous outfit in the game, but, as a cosplay, it looks impressive. Credit goes to YouTuber Sylvain Leobon for this Aloy cosplay!
8 "Is That A Glitch?"
And so we kick off a sensational cosplay compilation based on Aloy from Horizon Zero Dawn. Most of this cosplay's details are accurate aside from Aloy' sword. Aloy carries a spear and Sylens' Lance, both these weapons can be upgraded, increasing their power against robotic foes.
She doesn't, however, carry a sword in Horizon Zero Dawn. Because the outfit is so spot-on, it deserves praise based on its merit. Thank you, Anne-Fleur Boortman, for photographing this gorgeous photo.
7 Is It A Recurve Or A Compound Bow?
In Horizon Zero Dawn, bows can come in many different shapes and sizes, which can make them challenging to identify. Not only are they different in appearance, but they have different stats as well. Some bows are long-range, while others are short-range and inflict more damage.
In Horizon Zero Dawn, humans were wiped to near extinction by machines, bringing them to their primal state. Bows are common weapons in Horizon Zero Dawn, and this cosplay artist must have spent a great deal of time on her weapon. Thanks, Alodia Gosiengfiao, for this brilliant Aloy cosplay!
6 Kate Beckinsale As Aloy From Horizon Zero Dawn?
On another note, doesn't this cosplay artist have a striking resemblance to Kate Beckinsale, the actress? Is a Horizon Zero Dawn movie in the works? Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Chastain, and Amy Adams would be smart choices. We can only hope they come out with a Horizon Zero Dawn movie since the story is so intriguing.
The game even has a story mode for players who aren't interested in tough combat and just want to experience the story. Thank you, Micheal Dominguez, for providing the photo, and illyne for the cosplay.
5 Aloy Shadow Stalwart
A plethora of cosplays model after Nora's Outfit. Nora's Outfit is one of the earliest outfits you can obtain in the game, offering minimal protection. The outfit in the above photo is not Nora's Outfit, but there's a strong chance it is from Horizon Zero Dawn.
Either way, it is an achievement to create such an elaborate outfit and make it into a cosplay. Kudos if you can identify this outfit from Horizon Zero Dawn. Credit for this Horizon Zero Dawn cosplay goes to KamuiCosplay.
4 Stellar Accuracy
The bows of Horizon Zero Dawn are lush with color like the rest of the game. This bow has beads around the string which holds an arrow with blue feathers. Did they do the fletching themselves, or did they purchase the arrow from a bow and arrow store?
This action pose of Aloy from Horizon Zero Dawn is detailed, to say the least. Her hairstyle, along with her clothing is a close match to Aloy's appearance. She appears to have some mastery over her bow. Thanks to Instagram user oh pauline for this Aloy cosplay!
3 Climbing Like Aloy Would
A significant portion of Horizon Zero Dawn involves climbing to reach objectives. We often see Aloy scaling mountainsides to reach a plateau or climbing Tallnecks to shut them down. Seeing Tallnecks for the first time in the E3 trailers influenced many of our decisions to buy the game. The impactful enemy was a joy to climb and defeat. Thanks to Imgur user Ibelinn for uploading these Aloy cosplay photos!
2 Metallic Horizon Zero Dawn Outfit
This cosplay is modeled after Aloy from Horizon Zero Dawn. It's a cosplay that could be based on the Shield-Weaver outfit. It could also be the Shadow Stalwart. Give yourself a pat on the back if you can identify the cosplay outfit in the above photo.

1 Cautiously Walking Through A Dewy Meadow
Bold and fierce, Aloy is depicted as a headstrong individual who doesn't back down in the face of danger. She can be considered reckless because of her defiance against the tribe and tribal law.
This cosplay accurately captures the image of Aloy. Aloy is often seen walking through dewy meadows, being cautious that she is not detected by the machines. Thank you, Ely Renae and Sra Lynn Photography, for providing this gorgeous cosplay!
