Horizon: Zero Dawn, which is celebrating its second anniversary today, has officially sold “well over” 10 million copies worldwide.
Via the PlayStation Blog, Guerrilla Games managing director Hermen Hulst revealed the number, saying “The idea that we were able to bring Aloy’s journey to so many players is astounding. We’ve been deeply moved by the enormous amount of fan creations you’ve posted online, as well as the heartfelt letters you’ve sent sharing your favorite moments from Aloy’s journey.”
Along with announcing this sales milestone, Hulst took the opportunity to reveal little-known details about the development of the game. He revealed that prototyping gameplay elements began as far back as 2010, when most of the studio was still finishing Killzone 3. Because they didn’t yet have an in-game model for Aloy, they used the model for Jammer, an intruder pilot from Killzone 3, in early testing phases of the game.
