Guerrilla Games is gearing up to launch Lego Horizon Adventures, a Lego-themed reimagining of Horizon Zero Dawn. The studio will also release Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered on PS5, PC and Nintendo Switch on November 14th. But it could be a lot longer before we get a major Horizon title. Guerrilla Games’ next big project is reportedly the massively multiplayer online game Horizon.
Guerrilla Games’ next Horizon game
In a recent podcast appearance, Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier said the studio won’t be working on 2022’s single-player sequel Horizon Forbidden West as its next big release. “Horizon online is their next project, not what a third single-player game looks like. So it could be a long shot,” Schreier said on the latest episode of the Spawn Wave podcast, which aired Sunday. “Many people are working on this online project,” he added.
In 2022, Guerrilla Games confirmed that they were working on an online Horizon game when they announced that they were hiring for several projects in development. “A new in-house team is developing a standalone online project in the Horizon universe,” the studio said in a post on X detailing the company’s job openings. “With a new cast of characters and a unique stylized look, friends will be able to explore the majestic wastelands of Horizon together.”
Sony and its early studios have made a big push into live services, but the results have been mixed. While Helldivers 2 was a massive hit, Concord, Sony’s epic online shooter, was dead on arrival and taken offline within two weeks of launch. Naughty Dog, one of Sony’s most prestigious early studios, also canceled a planned multiplayer game set in The Last of Us universe to focus on its next single-player project.
The latest information from Schreier, however, indicates that the Horizon online title is still in the works and will be Guerrilla’s next big release, despite the lack of recent updates from Sony and the studio. Parent company PlayStation has also not announced a launch schedule for the game.
At Sony’s State of Play presentation last month, Guerrilla confirmed that it was remastering Horizon Zero Dawn for PS5 and PC, bringing the game’s visuals up to the standards of its sequel. Horizon Zerto Dawn Remastered is coming to PS5 and PC on October 31st.
