How to launch The Burning Shores add-on in Horizon Forbidden West
One of the most important factors for starting the Horizon Forbidden West Burning Shores DLC is completing the final main story quest, which is The Singularity. If you don’t have a save file after completing Singularity, you won’t be able to continue with the HFW DLC. Once you have downloaded and installed the new DLC, you will need to load your save game and then you will see a screen welcoming you to The Burning Shores.
Please note that the DLC is only available on PlayStation 5, so if you’re playing on PlayStation 4 you won’t have access to the DLC right now. Once you close the welcome screen, you will be contacted by Sylvens, who will ask you to meet him at Tilda’s mansion. The mansion is next to the Zenith base and you can find Sylvens on the back balcony.
While at this location, Sylvens will warn Aloy of the mysterious new Zenith that lies there on the Burning Shores. Once you select the prompt to end the conversation, you will be transported to Burning Shores. This will start your journey in the new HFW expansion.
