How To Start The Horizon Forbidden West Burning Shores DLC

To access the Burning Shores DLC, players will first and foremost need to have completed the base game, including the final quest called "singularity". Once complete, and you've watched the credits roll, continue the game, which will now let you free roam for a bit.

After a few seconds, you will receive a call over Aloys Focus from Sylens. He will inform you that he has an urgent matter to discuss with you and to meet him over at Tilda's. After the conversation ends, you will automatically begin the main quest of the new DLC called "To The Burning Shores" (be sure that your game is updated to receive the call from Sylens). 

And that is pretty much it; from here you'll begin your journey into the new DLC for Horizon Forbidden West to uncover the secrets and stop the evils that dwell there. Based on what we know so far, the DLC will have players experience a brand new story, that sees Aloy traveling to a ruined and molten Los Angeles to defeat a "massive machine" threatening her land. 

There will likely also be new creatures to defeat, and new items and weapons to discover, likely giving Aloy new abilities or unlocking new features in the game. On the topic of features, according to the developers, the new DLC will also offer new ones, such as exploration by water and on the back of a Sunwing, likely adding new ways to explore or expand on the existing exploration mechanics.
