A fresh set of rumors about the Horizon MMO are making the rounds, and the implication that this could be a mobile and PC-only MMO that skips PS5 has some fans in disbelief.
Twitter user Kurakasis hasposted a roundupof recent information about the MMO, including anNCSoft recruitment adwhich (viaGoogleTranslate) notes that the company is working on a “next-generation open-world PC/mobile MMORPG through collaboration with famous overseas IP.” That sure sounds like it could be the long-rumored Horizon game, but that whole “PC/mobile” thing is raising some red flags.
“An MMO based on a game that originally came out only on PS but isn’t getting a PS release but instead mobile. Red flags ahoy,” as oneReddit user says. “Yaaaa, PC and Mobile is never a good sign for an MMO. Also NCSoft, not a good sign there either with their output and monetisation/P2W history,” asanother puts it. The Twitter responses aren’t much kinder.
Kurakasis isquick to notethat early indications don’t mean that the MMO will never come to PS5 - it just doesn’t seem to be in development right now. Still, there’s acertain levelofdisbeliefthat a game based on one of PlayStation’s biggest properties might not even appear on a console. But honestly, thatmight not be too out of line with Sony’s previously stated push into PC and mobile, and a different type of game could be a push to get non-PlayStation fans interested in Aloy’s adventures.
Separate from the MMO,Horizon developer Guerilla is working on its own multiplayer spin-off.
