Would You Rather Have Another HFW DLC Than Hunter’s Gathering?

I’m curious how you'd feel if Guerrilla released another DLC for Horizon Forbidden West, either free or paid, to tide us over until they’re eventually ready to announce the third main game.

I’d happily pay for another substantial piece of single-player content if it meant getting to spend more time in Aloy’s world in the meantime.

What if they were to revisit the dropped or unfinished content already sitting in Forbidden West that they could potentially build on? The inaccessible Carja fort near the Daunt is a great example, explored in the "[The Forbidden Carja Fort: Horizon Forbidden West](https://youtu.be/wvCE\_Qbyo3o)" video. It makes me wonder how much content was planned or partially developed but never made it into the finished game. I’d love to see Guerrilla go back to some of those areas and ideas, finish them off properly, and turn them into new quests or even a smaller DLC. Alternatively, some of it could even be rolled out gradually in patches, one quest at a time, spread out over multiple updates rather than packaged as a full DLC bundle.

I’m pretty ambivalent about Hunter’s Gathering, and if I’m being truthful, that ambivalence is starting to border on frustration. I vaguely understand why Guerrilla (or Sony) wants to explore multiplayer. Still, it’s difficult to get excited about so much attention seemingly going there when what I really want is more of the single-player Horizon experience.

So, would another Forbidden West DLC appeal to you? Would you pay for it, or do you think Guerrilla should simply leave HFW where it is and put everything into Horizon 3?
