Sony and NCSoft Announce Horizon Steel Frontiers, a New Mobile-First MMORPG Set in Guerrilla's Horizon Universe — Check Out the Debut Trailer

Sony and NCSoft collaborate to expand Horizon into a mobile-first MMORPG with PC support, featuring raid-style boss fights and player cooperation in a shared world.

  • At G-STAR 2025, NCSoft and Sony unveiled Horizon Steel Frontiers, a Horizon MMORPG revealed via a 10-minute development diary and pre-alpha gameplay video, with Guerrilla Games director Jan-Bart van Beek saying NCSoft built it for mobile.
  • The collaboration grew over four years, with NCSoft confirming its long-rumored partnership with Sony and Guerrilla, leveraging its MMO expertise from Guild Wars and Lineage for a global audience.
  • Players will create custom characters as machine hunters in the Deadlands, engaging in raid-style boss fights with mounts and aerial movement inspired by Arizona and New Mexico, recalling Monster Hunter.
  • There is no mention of a PlayStation release and Horizon Steel Frontiers is not coming to PlayStation 5, while Guerrilla Games develops a separate multiplayer live service for PS5 and PC, expanding the Horizon franchise that sold more than 38 million copies as of July 2025.
  • There is no release date listed, but NCSoft said the team aims for availability soon, with a soft business model avoiding gacha and Korean-style business models and PC play via Purple.
