Horizon MMO Canceled: What This Means for PlayStation Fans!

The groundbreaking game, Horizon: Zero Dawn, set the stage for a highly successful series on PlayStation. Its distinctive post-apocalyptic landscape teeming with tribal communities and mechanical animals captivated gamers and they reveled in its vast open world. Since then, the franchise has grown with titles like Horizon: Forbidden West, Horizon: Call of the Mountain, Lego Horizon Adventures, and a movie adaptation. Developer Guerrilla Games has been excited to unveil future projects, including an online live service game. However, recent reports have surfaced amidst other cancellations that the forthcoming multiplayer Horizon game has been scrapped. This announcement has sparked concern among fans as another PlayStation title is shelved.

The previously announced “Horizon MMO,” which was being developed by NCsoft and set in the world of “Horizon: Zero Dawn,” has been canceled. Originally intended to be an online multiplayer game for mobile devices and PlayStation 5, it will not be released as planned.

Information regarding the upcoming Horizon MMO was scarce, but fans were less enthusiastic about the venture since it was intended for mobile devices. However, speculations about its character arose among fans based on NCsoft’s past games like Cities of Heroes. It appears that the project has been terminated due to financial difficulties, with recent layoffs at the company and server shutdowns serving as evidence to support this conclusion.

It’s been misunderstood that the canceled title from Guerrilla Games was their upcoming live service Horizon game. However, this isn’t accurate. The Horizon MMO was intended to be a separate game with distinct gameplay features. Guerrilla Games are still developing their live service game, so fans can take comfort in knowing they have more to look forward to from the studio.

It appears that reports suggest the live-service game, Horizon, could be a multiplayer experience with gameplay reminiscent of Monster Hunter. If this holds true, players might collaborate to defeat massive machines, collecting their components to craft fresh weapons and armors.

It appears quite plausible that this feature is incorporated, given it’s already present in the initial games. The universes of Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden West are well-suited for such gameplay, particularly multiplayer. Moreover, the timing seems opportune, as the live-service Horizon game will be mimicking Monster Hunter World’s approach. If managed appropriately, it could effectively bridge the gap left after players finish Capcom’s monster-hunting adventure.

Fans are fortunate as both the live-action game titled Horizon and the Horizon film are on the horizon. Remarkably, the franchise continues to thrive even after the termination of the Horizon MMO. Aloy has grown to be a prominent figure for PlayStation, alongside her games, leaving fans speculating about who will portray her in the upcoming movie.
