A Horizon MMORPG has been officially revealed, but not everyone is happy with the details of what’s been announced. Rumors of a multiplayer Horizon game have circulated the industry for over half a decade, with Guerrilla Games itself hinting towards its existence in a 2020 job listing that asked for experience creating multiplayer open world games.
But this newly announced MMORPG may not be the live-service Horizon game Guerrilla has reportedly been working on. Instead, this Horizon MMORPG seems to be an entirely different project being developed by a completely different studio, and being made with a different audience in mind.
Horizon Steel Frontiers Is an MMORPG Not Releasing on PlayStation 5
On November 13, during Korea’s G-Star 2025 game conference, developer NCSoft revealed Horizon Steel Frontiers, an MMORPG set in the Horizon universe being made in collaboration with Guerrilla Games. This Horizon MMORPG will see players take on the role of a machine hunter located deep in the Deadlands. Alongside a server full of real-world allies and rivals, players will take on giant machines in Monster Hunter-like raid boss fights, craft and customize their gear, and ride a variety of machines to explore the hidden secrets of the Deadlands. Neither NCSoft, Guerrilla, nor Sony have confirmed Horizon Steel Frontiers‘ place in the franchise timeline, or if characters like Aloy, Erend, or Sylens will appear.
