NCSoft's Project Skyline rumoured to be Horizon MMO, in the works for PC and Unreal Engine 5

New details pop up online

Guild Warspublisher NCSoft’s long-rumouredHorizon: Zero Dawnspin-off is a full-blown MMORPG codenamed Project Skyline, will run on Unreal Engine 5, and is coming to PC and mobile with a PS5 release still TBC, according to a brace of job listings and CVs fished from the post-apocalyptic robo-wilds of yonder internet. Also according to the said listings, it won’t be out for a while.

Partial though I am to metal dinosaurs, I’ve never warmed to the mainline Horizon games - posh landscape aesthetics and cinematic flourishes aside, I find them clunky and underwhelming in terms of quests and fights. Nate was more positive about the original Zero Dawn,noting in his reviewthat “battering an iron ostrich to pieces never felt so good”. How about you? Would you play a Horizon MMO? I think I’d rather play a co-op party-based affair in the style ofMonster Hunter.
