Each major city is equipped with a Jarl, each of which offers quests, tasks, and errands to the player character. This is due to the nature of the setting, but society in Skyrim is much more developed. Aside from Meridian, most settlements in Horizon only have a handful of NPCs, a merchant, and a quest-giver or two. Still, the number of marked places in Skyrim clock in at a whopping 459, and Horizon doesn't come close.Ĭities are another great example of how much denser Skyrim is compared to Horizon. Examples include bandit camps, dragon locations, caves, and Jarl castles in Skyrim, and ruins, cauldrons, and machine sites in Horizon. Most locations in both games can fall under a category. The province of Skyrim has a nearly uncountable number of locations (at least in terms of how many someone would want to count), both found via marked map locations or hidden spots that only pop up on the map once they are arrived at.

Boiling it down to just game scale, tough, it's clear that Skyrim is much larger than Horizon. Crossing from one landmark to another in-game can take a mere handful of minutes, while it real life it can take hours.įor this reason, there are different reasons to state the Horizon map size as either bigger or smaller than Skyrim's. However, this is at a scale to 107.5:1 in the real world. Yet, Horizon's official map size says it spans 4 miles across. Skyrim is easy it's a little less than 15 squared miles. For this reason, Studio Art Director Jan-Bart van Beek says that every location in Horizon was scaled to a smaller size. Most maps like Grand Theft Autoand Witcher 3 can be quantified in square miles, but the same can't exactly be said about Guerrilla's adventure title because it projects a rendition of the real world.

While it's not completely accurate, it still offers a large number of locations and quests for the player to discover, which has brought many fans to compare it to the martyr in the open-world genre, Skyrim. For example, the Ring of Metal is Denver Stadium, and Meridian, the largest and most developed city in the game, is Eagle Canyon, Utah. Just recently released to PC gamers, Horizon: Zero Dawn's map is interesting because it's based on real locations. Nearly ten years later, any open-world RPG is actively compared to Bethesda's hit fantasy, including Horizon: Zero Dawn. Even so, it's noted for having great replayability. Skyrim is known to clock in at 300+ hours of gameplay between all of its major storylines and random side quests, filling its map to the brim with lore, history, and secrets to discover. Since its release, Skyrim has been a comparison reference to other open-world games, not just in terms of hours of gameplay, but also the map size.
