The next game from Guerrilla Games is reportedly Horizon Online, according to Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier speaking on the Spawn Wave podcast.
"Horizon Online is their next product, not whatever the third single-player game looks like," said Schreier. "So, that one might be a ways off." He added, "A lot of people are working on" Horizon Online.
Guerrilla Games announced in December 2022 it was developing an online game set in the Horizon universe.
There are two Horizon games coming out in the next couple of months. Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered will launch for the PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store on October 31 and LEGO Horizon Adventures will launch for the PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC on November 14.

Sounds like a terrible idea after Concord, but whatever.
To be fair to everything, Sony had a massive hit that was online then a massive failure. Considering this, HD2 and Concord were all in dev at the same time, hard to know how things will pan out. Concord was a PvP unknown IP that had significant backlash unrelated to the 'service' part. HD2 was PvE which had massive success from "having a laugh with your mates".
This is a proven IP that might be treated more as a MMO for all we know. I mean look at GTA, people might want GTA6 but that's not what makes Rockstar it's money.
Concord is irrelevant in this convo considering this has already been in development for quite a few years now. If development is progressing they'll keep working on it.
This is a game with the talent who worked on Rainbow Six Siege, and Guerilla have experience with MP since the first Killzone title.
This ambition for GaaS games will end up being Playstation's weakness. The division is losing its essence by trying to copy the competition...
This money spent on GaaS could be used to revive original franchises, franchises that are over 15 years old, that really need a remake/remaster. I am skeptical about seeing Sony take this path, and I don't think it will have the expected return.
Doesn’t concern me if its not Single Player.
Rather they just finish the story.
If it online in the way of Monster Hunter then I'm in, if not then I'll continue my huge backlog of PS+ games...
I would prefer them making a new Killzone but we'll see how this turns out.
We've known for at least a year that this was in development around the time of HFW, and that H3 is also in development.
I'm excited to see how they tackle an MP Horizon since it seemed that MP was something they were original exploring based on artwork fron the first.
Might be another DOA project for them. There's nothing wrong with the concept on the surface, but is there demand for this? Would anybody who's not already a fan of the franchise even be interested in this? And I'm a fan, but then I'm not a fan of multiplayer. Oh, lord.

My God! Why don't you make your usual games? The recipe for failure is being prepared, since the success of previous generations was due to single-player games with unique stories and without the WOKE culture. Wanting to develop something like COD, Fortnite, Minecraft, GTA and so many other multiplayer games is very difficult for a company that has no experience with this. I see Playstation losing the essence that attracted its audience, even though I'm not a fan of the brand, because I prefer to play on PC, but I admit that there are good franchises, but they no longer attract me because they force an inclusion that should be natural. They should create characters with a sense of morality and ethics that represent a social group, and not destroy characters like in the case of Peter Parker... he's a character from my childhood, someone who had a strong personality, a sense of justice, with social values, who valued his family.
Nintendo is the only one that still remains traditional, even though its games are simple, low-budget and sell at a high price to its customers. In short, it's the price for just wanting to have fun.
I started reading this comment thinking it was about story-driven single player games ("usual games") and I kind of agreed... but then it took a turn right after lol
Hoo boy... there's that "woke" boogeyman again.
Sony's studios can't really avoid the woke virus because it is everywhere right now. It is starting to die down finally, but there's so much in the pipeline from the peak woke era that has to be shat out first. What's unique to Sony is this pivoting to MMO projects versus their past catalog of excellent single player games. I agree, this is very damaging to them because it erodes their identity and all of this time and work is going somewhere else than the single player projects people are waiting for. What a waste.
The only one who got what I wanted to say...
- Sony's single-player games used to be great;
- The WOKE culture is killing games;
-
Sony shouldn't invest so much money in MMOs and GaaS, because their essence is single-player games.
I think people didn't get the idea that Sony doesn't need to try to compete with COD, Minecraft, GTA, Diablo, Fortnite... it needs to continue its IPs GOW, Horizon, TLOU, GT... revive great old IPs and create new ones, but without focusing entirely on multiplayer, after all, it has Bungie to create this type of game.
