Sony and Guerrilla Games are expanding the Horizon Forbidden West universe with Horizon Steel Frontiers, a mobile-first MMORPG developed in partnership with NCSoft. This marks a bold step into mobile gaming for PlayStation’s flagship franchise.
Key Highlights
- New Setting: The Deadlands, inspired by Arizona and New Mexico, introduces fresh landscapes and lore.
- Player Choice: Create your own hunter from tribes like the Nora, Oseram, Tenakth, or Utaru.
- Gameplay: Large-scale raids, survival mechanics, and customizable combat against robotic beasts.
- Multiplayer Focus: Unlike Aloy’s solo journey, this game emphasizes co-op exploration and teamwork.
With this new entry, it means that Guerrilla has released Horizon Zero Dawn, Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds, Horizon Forbidden West, Horizon: Call of the Mountain, Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores, and Lego Horizon Adventures.
(There are already rumors circulating that the third main entry Horizon game is already at development at Guerrilla Games, within Playstation Studios.)
This is more than a spin-off—it’s a new frontier for Horizon, transforming a single-player epic into a shared online world. It shows Sony’s commitment to bringing console-quality experiences to mobile audiences.
Horizon Steel Frontiers isn’t just another mobile game—it’s a chance to live inside the Horizon universe as your own character, shaping your destiny in a vast, evolving world.
