Picking up in what looks to be deep winter, the expansion offers a brand new terrain for gamers to explore while taking on the challenges of this far-future realm and surviving the dangers of the mechanized beasts within. The conference opened up by immersing the audience in the feel of this expansion, offering up a snowy and dark stage before delving into the prose of the trailer itself.

Of course, gamers also get a chance to see the main protagonist, Aloy, facing off with what looks to be some serious competition in the constant drive for survival in this futuristic realm. It goes to prove that even with such a brief trailer, the expansion already has gamers hooked on the upcoming addition to the story. Unfortunately, the trailer doesn’t specify exactly when the expansion will premier, though The Frozen Wilds will be coming at some point in 2017.
