Guerrilla Games began developing Horizon Zero Dawn following the release of Killzone 3 in 2011. [37] When conceiving the idea for a new game, about 40 concepts were pitched. Among these was Horizon Zero Dawn, which game director Mathijs de Jonge considered "the most risky" of the concepts and was pitched in 2010 by art director Jan-Bart van Beek. [38] [39] When this concept was chosen, a team of 10–20 began building prototypes of the game. [38] [39] Approximately 20 different stories were written, exploring various concepts, such as different player characters. John Gonzalez, who previously acted as lead writer for Fallout: New Vegas (2010), was hired to write the game's story as narrative director, with Ben McCaw as lead writer. The main elements of the story and the character of Aloy remained intact since early development. [38] [39] [40] Upon the completion of Killzone: Shadow Fall in late 2013, the remainder of the staff began working on Horizon Zero Dawn. [41] Guerrilla cancelled another game to allow the entire team to focus on the development of Horizon. [42] Sony would later admit to being reluctant about having the main character be female and conducted focus testing to see if such a decision was marketable. [43] The game had an estimated budget of over €45 million. [44] Mahboubian-Jones, Justin (22 June 2016). "Horizon: Zero Dawn's monsters can become your BFF". Digital Spy. Hearst Communications.
