Horizon MMORPG: Is a New Co-op or Multiplayer Title Coming?

After Horizon Zero Dawn and Forbidden West, we may soon be going into battle together in Multiplayer or Co-op against post-apocalyptic wild animals.

According to the latest rumors, a Horizon MMO is being planned. A co-op-style multiplayer might appear soon. In this screenshot, we see several characters standing in a row in front of giant creatures, ready to fight. They are shown in a long shot at the bottom of the screen, facing us, and have an Indian-like appearance with axes, sticks, and headdresses with large feathers coming out of them. Behind them, a strong mist can be seen and behind it, three staggered giant creatures with red glowing eyes that resemble elephants are shown. On top of the elephants are defensive structures where archers are stationed. On the left, green trees rise out of the fog, and in the distance, we can see a huge steep mountain range in the blur.

A new Horizon MMORPG may soon be in development for the popular action series. Will we soon get Horizon multiplayer or Co-op mode (again)?

According to the latest rumors from a South Korean news service, a new Horizon title seems to be in the works. Sony and NCSoft apparently have partnered up to work on a new online experience of the known series. The new game IP, which is internally called “Project H”, is said to be a Horizon multiplayer experience in MMO style.

 

Sony and NCsoft apparently joined forces for Horizon MMORPG

The source on MTN states that NCSoft and Sony have not yet started the development of the game. However, NCSoft is already on the lookout for qualified employees and is advertising for collaboration on “Project H.”

Just recently, suspicious job ads went online for PlayStation in Amsterdam, the hometown of Horizon developer Guerilla Games. A position for a senior producer and senior product manager are about a “well-known IP” and “production support for both internal and external stakeholders (…)”. According to an interview by Reuters, Sony spoke out about an expansion of their service towards cell phones and PCs as well as into live service games. These job postings from Sony thus also strengthen the assumption that the company is working together with NCSoft on a (mobile) Horizon MMORPG.

If you are new to the Horizon saga, feel free to check out a trailer of the recent part Horizon Forbidden West:

 

The developer studio NCSoft, which is also known for games like Guild Wars, Aion, Lineage, and Blade & Soul, did not give an official statement about the rumors until now. But now there is good reason to hope for a Horizon MMO.
