Sony And NCSoft Unveil Horizon Steel Frontiers, A Mobile‑First MMORPG For PC And Mobile With No PS5 Version Announced

The project extends the Horizon universe through NCSoft’s MMO expertise as Sony pushes beyond consoles.

Overview

  • Revealed at G‑Star, the game is playable on mobile and on PC via NCSoft’s Purple platform, with pre‑alpha footage shown and no release date provided.
  • Set in the Deadlands, players create customizable machine hunters and share the frontier with thousands of others rather than playing as Aloy.
  • Combat is tailored for MMO hunts with large‑scale raids, part‑breaking, pullcaster climbs, status effects, tamable mounts, and the ability to reuse weapons knocked off machines.
  • NCSoft’s site lists the title as free‑to‑play, and developers emphasize cross‑platform access between mobile and PC.
  • Developers say appearances by characters from the main games are not finalized, Guerrilla notes other Horizon projects are in development, and fans are voicing frustration about the lack of a PS5 release.
