"Starting with Horizon Zero Dawn and followed up with Horizon Forbidden West, the PlayStation franchise has seen players following protagonist Aloy on a single-player adventure. With the recent reveal of Horizon Steel Frontiers, the focus changes from a solo affair to an MMO. But Guerrilla Games studio director Jan-Bart van Beek has stated the series started with multiplayer in mind."
"Interestingly, Horizon Steel Frontiers is only coming to PC and mobile so far--not PS5. That would be a first for the franchise, as even the spin-off Horizon Call of the Mountain was released for PlayStation VR 2. The MMO looks a bit inspired by the Monster Hunter series and will feature large-scale raids. Meanwhile, Sony has filed a lawsuit against Tencent over Light of Motiram, arguing the game is a "slavish clone" of Horizon."
The Horizon franchise began as single-player adventures starring Aloy, but Guerrilla Games has long envisioned multiplayer experiences. LEGO Horizon Adventures served as an early multiplayer experiment, and Horizon Steel Frontiers represents a major move into MMO territory. Steel Frontiers is announced for PC and mobile, omitting a PS5 release, and will feature Monster Hunter–style large-scale raids. Sony has initiated legal action against Tencent over Light of Motiram, alleging the title is a "slavish clone" of Horizon. Guerrilla reportedly has further multiplayer projects planned, and a live-action Horizon film is also in development.
