Horizon Forbidden West cosplayer readies her bow as sharpshooter Aloy Soylent Cosplay, Sony Computer EntertainmentHorizon Forbidden West finally allows us to dive back into the neo-dystopian fray as fan-favorite heroine Aloy, and one cosplayer has recreated her perfectly to celebrate the sequel. Horizon\u2019s female protagonist and machine hunter extraordinaire, Aloy, has etched herself into gaming history as one of Sony\u2019s most iconic characters, and coming into Horizon Forbidden West we\u2019ll get to know her even better. Cosplayers have already been quick to celebrate the sequel\u2019s release, transforming themselves into our heroine in order to take down The Blight in style. Joining the post-apocalyptic fray is Australian cosplayer Soylent Cosplay, whose recreation of Aloy will leave you absolutely speechless. Horizon Forbidden West Aloy cosplay slays the machines Telling Dexerto that she \u201cabsolutely loved Horizon Zero Dawn,\u201d she confesses \u201cthe story, the characters, and the setting were so in-depth and fascinating and the aesthetic of the world really had me hooked. I knew I wanted to cosplay from it because all the outfits look so fantastic and like a fun challenge.\u201d Aloy was a no-brainer for the Aussie artist, as she \u201cinstantly loved her as a character. I also love red-heads, so that was a drawing point as well. Her design is so real and gritty, while still keeping elements of her feminine and soft and I just really resonate with those kinds of characters.\u201d Tempering the huntress wasn\u2019t easy, however, as while the outfit \u201cdoesn\u2019t have any extensive makeup work, which is what I\u2019m accustomed to, there was a lot of problem-solving using a new material. The wig was especially challenging because of how much volume Aloy has in her hair and the unique coloring. It wasn\u2019t my hardest costume, but there was definitely a learning curve. \u201d Despite this, Soylent rocks this Aloy cosplay as though it were a second skin. Fiery red hair cascades in braids down her shoulders, and her worn tan outfit is trimmed with cyan and ruby. Sporting the character\u2019s aqua necktie and traditional hunting boots, all eyes are drawn to that bow. Masterfully crafted and adorned in feathers, each and every detail is absolutely perfect. View this post on Instagram \u201cI decided to give myself a challenge and try to make the costume with the original materials in mind,\u201d she recalls. \u201cSo the costume is made from real second-hand leather that I stained and colored using leather paints. All the pouches are completely functional, making this one of my most functional cosplays to date. View this post on Instagram While she hasn\u2019t managed to secure a PlayStation 5 yet, nothing is stopping Soylent from diving into Forbidden West. \u201cI\u2019m desperately trying to get a PS5 to play it on, but I think I\u2019m going to have to bite the bullet and just pay it on PS4 \u2013 which I\u2019ve heard is still equally as beautiful. I can\u2019t wait to jump back into the world again! \u201d Whatever console she plays on, however, we just know she\u2019ll fall in love with Guerrilla Games\u2019 stunning universe all over again \u2013 and who knows, maybe it\u2019ll inspire her to create Aloy\u2019s new outfit! We\u2019ll have to wait and see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
