A Horizon Forbidden West leak is currently being passed around online, and it’s quite interesting. the footage Apparently from an earlier alpha build of Open World Adventure, the feature represents a four-player multiplayer mode that was, at one time, in development (and probably still is, as explained below).

The leaked video shows male and female avatars wearing different clothing and armor, and the characters appear to be able to perform sprints and slides similar to Aloy.
