Gameplay footage has surfaced that some media say could be of a Horizon multiplayer game. The images are said to date from 2020 and are from an early alpha build.
From the images, which include via Reddit, it appears that this version of the game features a different graphical style compared to the Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden West games. Some characters are shown, as well as some locations and enemies. There is also a base camp where the player has access to all kinds of outfits and equipment.
Despite the mention of Horizon: Forbidden West in the gameplay footage, it is far from certain whether this is also footage from an official multiplayer game in the Horizon universe. Game website MP1ST claimed end of 2022 that the Dutch developer Guerrilla Games would be working on such a game. The developer posted vacancies online last year that pointed to a multiplayer game and thereby also confirmed the development of the game.
According to VGC, Guerrilla had been planning to expand the Horizon franchise for some time with a multiplayer game. At the end of November it became known that Sony would be in talks with South Korean mmo publisher and developer NCSoft. The latter would be working on a Horizon spin-off. Considering it from NCSoft, in that case it would be an mmorpg in the world of Horizon Zero Dawn.
