To mark the occasion, PlayStation and the Eden Project have lit up the iconic biomes in St Austell, as a representation of Aloy’s Shieldwing that features in Horizon Forbidden West.

Eden has been home to the National Wildflower Centre since 2018, combining conservation and creativity to bring new wildflower habitats in underused spaces across the UK.

It is estimated that 97% of wildflower meadows in England and Wales have been lost since the 1930s.

As part of the new partnership, a 12-acre wildflower habitat will be created in Morecambe, Lancashire, home to the new Eden Project North that is due to open in 2024.
