Horizon MMO could be in the works at Guild Wars publisher NCsoft

As long as I can play as a mechanical crocodile, I’m happy

Aloy might not be the only person battling giant robot dinosaurs for much longer if a report that aHorizonMMO is in development is on the nose. Korean siteMTNclaim Sony are teaming up withGuild Warspublishers NCsoft to create a massively multiplayer take on Guerilla Games’ sci-fi action RPG. This partnership to create new games isn’t just limited to Horizon either, MTN’s source alleges.

It’s claimed that Sony’s chosen to partner with NCsoft on the Horizon MMO project to “penetrate the global game market”, which arrow-shooting protagonist Aloy would probably approve of as a big enough target. NCsoft’s internal team will allegedly handle the MMO’s development. The source suggested this was just a “first collaboration" and that, if the project is successful, NCsoft might be entrusted with turning other Sony intellectual properties into MMOs. Guild Wars meetsBloodborne, anyone?

Ireportedat the start of October about another multiplayer spin on the Horizon series. That one was claimed to be in development at creators Guerilla Games, though, so it sounds like a different project. There’s also a Horizon Zero Dawn remaster alleged to be coming, but it’s not certain whether that would reach PC alongside PS5. I think I’d rather just see a PC port ofHorizon Forbidden West, thank you very much.

If you’re more of a single-player type then Horizon Zero Dawn: Complete Edition is onSteam, theEpic Games StoreandGOGfor £40/$50/€50.
