Van Beek further elaborated on the studio’s commitment to the series, emphasizing that they have long-term ambitions for Horizon.
“We’re going to be continuing it for a very long while,” he stated, reassuring fans eagerly awaiting future installments.
In addition to the mainline games and DLC expansions, Guerrilla is venturing into new territory with a multiplayer game, which van Beek described as a “massive shift for the studio.”
The cooperative multiplayer project is expected to offer players an entirely new experience within the Horizon universe.
With plans for a multiplayer game on the Horizon, Guerrilla Games is poised to tackle the challenge of expanding its beloved franchise into a social gaming space.
Van Beek acknowledged the level of effort required to transition the Horizon series to a multiplayer experience, likening it to the development scale of the critically acclaimed Horizon Zero Dawn.
The team at Guerrilla Games is determined to meet this challenge head-on and deliver a multiplayer experience that lives up to the high standards of single-player games.
While details regarding the upcoming multiplayer game are still scarce, the announcement has sparked speculation and excitement among the Horizon community.
Fans eagerly anticipate exploring the vast landscapes, engaging in cooperative gameplay, and delving deeper into the rich lore that has captivated players since the release of Horizon Zero Dawn.
Beyond the multiplayer project, Guerrilla Games has also confirmed the development of a sequel to Horizon Forbidden West, the highly anticipated follow-up to the critically acclaimed Horizon Zero Dawn.
As the franchise expands, fans can look forward to exploring new horizons, uncovering intriguing narratives, and encountering captivating characters within the Horizon universe.
The excitement surrounding the Horizon franchise extends beyond the realm of gaming. Guerrilla Games has been actively exploring various transmedia projects to bring Horizon to new platforms and mediums.
Rumors of a Horizon Zero Dawn remaster for the PlayStation 5, a Netflix TV series adaptation and an MMO spin-off have further fueled the enthusiasm of fans, promising to extend the immersive experience of Horizon to new audiences.
However, amidst all the anticipation, fans will have to bid farewell to a beloved character. Lance Reddick, the talented actor who provided the voice and likeness for Sylens, sadly passed away earlier this year.
Reddick’s contributions to the series will forever be cherished, and fans will remember his remarkable portrayal of the deuteragonist in the Burning Shores DLC.
