Horizon Zero Dawn Actress Says Sequel Is in Development
Janina Gavankar, who voiced Tatai in The Frozen Wilds DLC, may have spilled the beans on a potential sequel to Horizon Zero Dawn.
Via a Reddit post from user ninjyte, Gavankar, who portrayed Iden Versio in Star Wars Battlefront II, was speaking with fans at Star Wars Celebration Chicago when she made the potential slip. A fan thanked Gavankar for introducing her to Horizon Zero Dawn, to which Gavankar replied “Just wait until you see the sequel, you’re gonna die. I know some secrets, you’re gonna die."
Though her character Tatai was only present in the game’s DLC, she did have an open narrative thread where she was headed to Sundom to learn how to harvest machines. Because of this continuation, Tatai could return in a sequel, meaning Gavankar may have some knowledge of its development. IGN has reached out to PlayStation for comment.

The Resistance Is On a Mission in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker
The new teaser trailer for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker sees a return of the whole gang, but it’s Poe Dameron in particular who must deal with the struggle of finding a way to lead what little is left of the Resistance. The Last Jedi showed just how hot-headed and insubordinate that Poe could be, but by the end he seemed to have learned some lessons from both General Leia and Vice Admiral Holdo on how to be a leader. Hinting at Poe’s eventual rise to a leadership role, while under siege in the base on Crait, Leia even says to the last few Resistance soldiers, “What are you looking at me for? Follow him!” IGN talked to actor Oscar Isaac at Star Wars Celebration Chicago about how his character carries those lessons of leadership into The Rise of Skywalker. It’s especially difficult because, as he explains, Leia is no longer with them.
