Title but imagine your first impression of Horizon Hunter's Gathering, just with graphics we've come to expect

I ask this for Horizon Hunter's Gathering and not Horizon Steel Frontiers because Horizon Hunter's Gathering is intended to be canon to the Horizon lore as opposed to Horizon Steel Frontiers which we don't have confirmation of it being canon or not

For me personally, I think I would've had a warmer reception but would've still remained skeptical of the whole idea since Im only interested in Horizon Hunter's Gathering for the story. The gameplay looks nice but Horizon Hunter's Gathering being canon is why I'll get it before Horizon Steel Frontiers

I'm not talking something like The Peacekeepers with Villedor. I mean like Dying Light The Beast Restored Land but much more extensive

For example, replacing street lights lightbulbs with UV lightbulbs instead. Sending military squad tanks and infantries (not like the Nightrunners into the VNC tower) into Volatile Hives with the sole purpose of either killing all the Volatiles inside and shutting down the hive or just burning the entire thing down

There has to be like one country atleast that has systematically eradicated The Harran Virus infected from their area (like Dying Light The Beast Restored Land) to the point they can successfully replicate it in other countries, given the manpower and jurisdiction from whoever lives in said infected countries

Functioning power facilities and supply lines underneath (like tunnels) that have zero infected with running UV lights everywhere to the point there's a neon haze of UV light

I mean really who knows. Japan in Dying Light 4 or Dying Light 3 if you wanna call it that (still dont understand why it would be called that when Dying Light The Beast is Dying Light 3), might have one area that's a permanent safe zone the size of Villedor or Harran or Castor Woods. Filled with a neon haze of UV light

For context: I watched all of Dying Light 1, Dying Light 1: The Following, skipped Dying Light 2 (I read its story), and played all of Dying Light: The Beast

My question is: What is the point of developing the second strain of THV (The Harran Virus) when there are no human nations left to wage war on?

GRE develop first strain of Harran Virus and drop it on "Section 0" AKA Harran, to test out their bioweapon. Suleiman threatens to reveal the GRE's plan to the public and Crane unwittingly stops that

Second strain breaks out in Switzerland, The Fall happens, human nations effectively cease to exist

A bioweapon is made to be used by a military to wage wars on other countries. By the time of Dying Light 2's beginning, there are no countries left standing against the zombies for the bioweapon to be some political leveraging card

What's point if the GRE trying to make continuing to develop the Harran Virus when countries dont even exist anymore? Dying Light: The Beast's ending shows the GRE is still at large (presumably in Japan) continuing to develop the Harran Virus
