Overview
- NCSoft and Guerrilla officially announced Horizon Steel Frontiers after an early leak, confirming iOS, Android and PC (via Purple) and no PS5 listing.
- Pre‑alpha footage highlights MMO‑specific combat tweaks such as Pullcaster climbs on damaged machine parts, trap placement, weapon pick‑ups, mounts, and large‑scale raids.
- Players create their own machine hunters rather than play as Aloy, exploring the Deadlands with thousands of others in cooperative hunts and competitive encounters.
- No release date was provided, and NCSoft executives told investors the game could launch in 2026 or early 2027, pending discussions with the IP holder.
- The game’s website indicates a free‑to‑play model, and early fan reaction criticizes the lack of console support as Guerrilla signals more Horizon projects for PlayStation are in development.
