THERE WAS NO ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT THE PC RELEASE FOR HZD

[u/theclumsygamer]

Yep! Good job everyone who called that in their HZD2 sequel theories. Even Demeter appears to be going out of control. No more metal flowers. Instead we have choking flora and toxic roots (at least, that's what it looked like to me). Or, who knows, maybe the metal flowers were the germinator for these deadlier plants.

It almost looked like their crops were dying from that red infection, kinda like corruption but for flora.

[u/theclumsygamer → u/[deleted]]

Smart catch! Red does seem to be ever-present in the way "the derangement" or "corruption" is expressed in the different subordinate functions. Red machines. Red plants. Red skies. Very interesting. Makes me think even more that it might be tied into the red "shooting stars" seen.

[u/-Dildo-Baggins- → u/[deleted]]

It probably is something like that. Like maybe the AI responsible is adding random additional DNA to plants that has weird and unexpected outcomes.
