""Hermen Hulst, head of SIE, joked that 'Please do not kill [a] Tallneck (a giraffe-shaped machine),' and insisted 'Please take good care of Aloy. It feels like I am sending off my daughter at the aisle,'" Lee Seong-gu told Inven, based on a translation by Kotaku. Aloy seemingly won't be playable in the game but it's possible she could still appear in cutscenes."
"Speaking with the Korean publication Inven, chief business officer Lee Seong-gu shared more information about how the MMORPG will be structured, timing for its first beta test, and insight into NCSoft's relationship with the PlayStation studio that originally created Horizon. He said Hermen Hulst, former Guerrilla Games studio head and current CEO of the PlayStation studio business group, told him that there were two special requests for licensing the Horizon IP."
"The executive explained that he made several trips to the studio's Dutch officer to pitch Horizon Steel Frontiers and had to prove he was a fan of the franchise. He also said that it was Sony's idea to reveal the MMO at Gamescom 2025 but he convinced the company to let NCSoft reveal it to a Korean audience first at G-Star 2025 instead."
Horizon Steel Frontiers is a new PC and mobile MMO spin-off where players group up to hunt prehistoric robotic machines from the Horizon franchise. Lee Seong-gu provided details about licensing, reveal timing, and game structure. Hermen Hulst requested care for Aloy and preservation of Tallnecks. NCSoft revealed the title at G-Star 2025 after convincing Sony. Combat centers on body-part targeting and destruction. Players can join 16- or 32-player boss raids. The game uses customizable roles rather than fixed classes and removes auto-attacks. Guerrilla Games passed control of the Horizon IP to an outside developer for this MMO.
