Sony and NCSOFT Announce 'Horizon Steel Frontiers,' a Mobile-First MMORPG for PC and Mobile

The reveal confirms a PC and mobile launch only — release timing, monetization, and any console version remain unannounced.

Overview

  • NCSOFT and Guerrilla Games formally unveiled Horizon Steel Frontiers in an announcement video tied to G-STAR in Korea.
  • The game is a full MMORPG set in the Deadlands, where thousands of players share the world in cooperative hunts and competitive encounters.
  • Players create their own machine hunters with deep customization tied to Horizon tribes including Nora, Tenakth, Utaru, and Oseram rather than playing as Aloy.
  • MMO-specific combat systems include climbing damaged machine parts with a Pullcaster, setting traps to apply status effects, and carrying dropped machine weapons on mounts for later fights.
  • Pre-alpha footage surfaced online before the reveal, and the developers have not provided a release date or business model.
