A Horizon<\/strong><\/em> MMORPG has been officially revealed, but not everyone is happy with the details of what’s been announced. Rumors of a multiplayer Horizon<\/em> 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.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But this newly announced MMORPG may not be the live-service Horizon<\/em> game Guerrilla has reportedly been working on. Instead, this Horizon<\/em> MMORPG seems to be an entirely different project being developed by a completely different studio, and being made with a different audience in mind.<\/p>\n

\n 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<\/em>, an MMORPG set in the Horizon<\/em> universe being made in collaboration with Guerrilla Games. This Horizon<\/em> 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<\/em>-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<\/em>‘ place in the franchise timeline, or if characters like Aloy, Erend, or Sylens will appear.<\/p>\n

Though Horizon Steel Frontiers<\/em> looks suitably impressive in its announcement trailer, it’s garnered immediate controversy among Horizon<\/em> fans due to its platforms of choice. Horizon Steel Frontiers<\/em> will be an iOS, Android, and PC cross-platform title, with players on all platforms sharing the same world. A PlayStation 5 or 4 release has not been mentioned in the official PlayStation Blog announcement for Horizon Steel Frontiers<\/em>, its developer commentary trailer, or the game’s official website. Naturally, many fans have expressed their disappointment with the lack of a console launch, and it’s easy to understand why given that Horizon Zero Dawn<\/em> and Horizon Forbidden West<\/em> were initially PlayStation exclusives, and that the Horizon<\/em> franchise as a whole is primarily known as a first-party PlayStation IP.<\/p>\n

This is the second time in the last few days that Sony has announced a mobile-focused multiplayer spinoff of a traditionally single-player franchise, with Ratchet & Clank: Ranger Rumble <\/em>being revealed for iOS and Android on November 12. Though NCSoft has a solid track record of delivering major MMO experiences like Lineage<\/em> and Guild Wars<\/em>, it’s only natural for some Horizon<\/em> fans to be a little skeptical of the newly announced MMORPG given its shift away from the series’ PlayStation and single-player roots.<\/p>\n
