What we know about Regalla’s character

Regalla is a character who appears to be a dangerous enemy against Aloy. In an interview with Game Informer, Horizon Forbidden West senior writer Annie Kitain called Regalla “deadly”. This confirms that her character will be extremely important to the narrative of the game.

Kitain said:

“She has this army of machines and rebels. And she really is driven by this hatred for the Carja tribe. She’s bent on this sort of destruction toward that tribe, and she’s really willing to basically burn the world down to get the vengeance that she wants.”

This could be a nod to the fact that Aloy and Raegalla’s characters will be intertwined throughout the plot.

Regalla also appears in the game’s artwork, and it looks like she’s the antagonist against Aloy’s forces. It’s safe to say that these characters will be extremely entertaining when they are being played by such powerhouses of the industry.
