Horizon PS5

Horizon Steel Frontiers, a new MMO set in Aloy's universe, won't be launching on PS5. Instead, the Guerrilla Games and NCSOFT collaboration is targeting the PC and mobile phone market.

This marks the first time a video game attached to the Horizon IP will not have any kind of presence on PlayStation, but that doesn't mean the series is abandoning its roots. The original Horizon developer, Guerrilla Games, has assured fans it has more games of its own to come.

Having promoted its collaborative effort with NCSOFT, the studio said on social media it is "still busily working on more ways for you to do just that. More on that to come." A third mainline entry in the Horizon series is in development, and the Dutch team has also acknowledged that it has its own online Horizon experience in the works.

While it hasn't been officially revealed yet, the latter project has been hiring talent for years now, and it's believed that this game will release before Horizon 3. It could push the third instalment into being a PS6 title.

Announced within 24 hours of a Ratchet & Clank smartphone spin-off, it's clear Sony still has interest in bringing its IPs to other platforms.

On the announcement of Horizon Steel Frontiers, studio director at Guerrilla Games, Jan-Bart Van Beek, said:

We already had groups at Guerrilla playing Horizon Steel Frontiers together at the office, and it’s really amazing. Whenever I get a chance to jump in on an early gameplay test, what really stands out is Steel Frontiers’ distinct tone and atmosphere. It has a unique identity of its own, and has been brought to life by NCSOFT’s developers.

When do you think we'll get Horizon 3 and this suggested online spin-off from Guerrilla? Post all your predictions in the comments below.
