"An MMO based on Sony's Horizon series is on the way. However, Horizon Steel Frontiers is not coming to PS5, at least not initially. It's a mobile-first game that's also coming to PC, in another example of Sony Interactive Entertainment expanding beyond its core PlayStation console business. NCSoft, the MMO developer and publisher behind the likes of the Guild Wars series and Throne and Liberty, is taking the lead on Horizon Steel Frontiers. It's working on the game alongside original Horizon developer Guerrilla Games."
"Horizon Steel Frontiers is said to build on the fun robot dinosaur hunting action of Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden West with greater player freedom, "deeply customizable combat" and other advanced MMORPG systems. You'll be able to undertake "large-scale raids" with other players. You'll likely end up competing with other players for resources too. You'll create your own character, who belongs to a tribe of your choosing."
"Just like in the main games, status effects are a key component of combat. You'll also be able to grapple onto giant machines, chip parts of them off and use weapons that robot enemies drop against them. In a neat touch, you can carry these weapons on your mount and use them in your next fight. Horizon Steel Frontiers has Tallnecks too, so I'm happy about that."
Horizon Steel Frontiers is an MMO set in the Horizon universe, developed by NCSoft with Guerrilla Games and Sony. The game launches mobile-first and will also arrive on PC, not initially on PS5. Gameplay builds on robot-dinosaur hunting from Horizon Zero Dawn and Forbidden West, featuring greater player freedom, deeply customizable combat, advanced MMORPG systems, large-scale raids, and resource competition. Players create tribe-affiliated characters, use status effects in combat, grapple onto giant machines, detach and wield machine parts as weapons, and carry weapons on mounts. The setting is the Deadlands, inspired by New Mexico and Arizona, hosting thousands of players.
