Although Horizon: Zero Dawn will have a diverse and dynamic weather system, it seems that lightning strikes have been removed from the full, finished game.

With just over a week until the release of the highly-anticipated Horizon: Zero Dawn, game director Mathijs de Jonge speaks out about the title’s complex weather system and why the developers decided to remove naturalistic lightning strikes from the machine-inhabited open world.

Speaking in an interview with Official PlayStation Magazine, Mathijs de Jonge explained that the Horizon: Zero Dawn originally featured the possibility for randomized lightning strikes that could hit enemies or the player at any point. However, after much deliberation, the development team decided against including the rather dangerous hazard.
