A major development has come to light regarding Guerrilla’s long-in-development live-service Horizon game, Horizon Hunters Gathering. After negative player feedback from the game’s various tests, the Amsterdam-based studio has been “working to reboot the game since June,” Bloomberg reported.
The plan to reboot the game involves removing its live-service elements and shifting it to become “more of a traditional cooperative multiplayer game with a story mode and far smaller scope,” the report said.
The report went on to say Guerrilla now has through December to “impress executives” in order for development to continue. Due to the paring down of the scope in the reboot, some developers working on Horizon Hunters Gathering are being “reassigned to a different project” that is due for evaluation by higher-ups by the end of the year.
What that other game is remains a mystery, but the report added that a “tiny team” at Guerrilla is now “plotting out the next single-player Horizon game.” This game is, however, “years away” from being done, sources said.
