While the imaginations of many are still on Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores, the expansion for Horizon Forbidden West announced last week at The Game Awards 2022, we’ve received new and even more exciting news about Sony’s plans for one of the families that, despite only having two titles so far , is already becoming one of the most relevant in the catalog of Sony console exclusives (although the first of them, Horizon Zoro Dawn, already made the jump to PC a few years ago). For a while fortunately ).

As I said, the announcement of the future expansion Horizon Forbidden West, which again takes us and Aloy to explore the lands of ancient California, has now turned into a volcanic archipelago with places at the same height as the series already gave us. got used to, it was one of the most relevant of the entire event, and although in the many criticisms and analyzes I had of it, the overwhelming majority agree that it was one of the best years of this gala, at least in terms of commercials.

Now, as with the vast majority of non-multiplayer games, no matter how hard the studio tries to make them relatively long, they end up with an ending. Then we can play them again to complete secondary missions, increase the difficulty level, set some special goal (like getting from start to finish in one play session), etc., but the truth is that nothing is ever the same. first. As with our favorite movies, series, records and books, discovering them is still a time-limited experience. And yes, it’s true that there are games that save (of course, being me, I have to mention Minecraft at this point), but in that case, there’s no argument to structure the story.

So I admit that after enjoying Horizon Zero Dawn on PC and waiting for Forbidden West to come to PC, I’m left with that classic bittersweet taste that makes you think: «what would it be like to play this with friends?«. And the good news is that, as confirmed by the developer himself in a tweetthe answer to this question is already on its way because Guerrilla and Sony are already working on a multiplayer Horizon.

The project is in its very early stages, and the report also calls for professionals to join the project, indicating that the team that will work on this multiplayer development is just beginning to form, which the report says will add new characters and will retain the franchise’s unique visual style. And there are no less than 36 professional profiles that Guerrilla is looking for for this development, grouped into five large groups: animation, art, design, programming and writing, which allows us to get an idea that the plan is quite ambitious.
