Horizon Multiplayer Game Survives Sony's Recent Project Cancellations

Despite massive layoffs affecting 900 PlayStation employees, Guerrilla Games' Horizon multiplayer project remains in active development.

Sony's restructuring led to the cancellation of several projects, including a Twisted Metal live service game, but the Horizon multiplayer game was spared.
Guerrilla Games first announced the co-op Horizon game in 2022, with little information released since beyond leaked alpha footage.
The game is expected to feature crafting, skirmishes, mounts, and selling parts for money, elements common in multiplayer games.
PlayStation aims to make Horizon its flagship multiplayer franchise, despite the uncertain future of the live-service market.
About 10% of Guerrilla's staff face layoffs as part of Sony's cuts, but the Horizon project continues unaffected.
