However, despite layoffs for 900 employees, including studios like Guerrilla Games, Insomniac Games and Naughty Dog, it seems the Horizon online game is reportedly still alive.

This is according to Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier, who replied “No” on Twitter when asked if the title was cancelled. Announced in December 2022, it’s set in the same universe with new characters to interact with and a “unique stylized look” as players team up and explore the “majestic wilds.” A new internal team is handling development, but thus far, there’s no release window or even an official name.

Guerrilla Games will continue to create further single-player titles starring Aloy, though it hasn’t officially revealed the follow-up to Horizon Forbidden West. The studio was hiring for its online, single-player and external project teams. With today’s layoffs, it remains to be seen how many new hires were affected. Stay tuned for more details on the project in the meantime.

This is after rumors of an MMORPG in development at NCSoft and various job listings emerging today that indicated the same.

In a new tweet, the developer revealed that a “new internal team” was working on a separate online project in the same universe. It features a “new cast of characters” and a “unique stylized look” with the promise that “friends will be able to explore the majestic wilds of Horizon together.”

Of course, this doesn’t mean single-player titles are off the table, with Guerrilla outright stating, “We are continuing to create epic solo adventures for Aloy.” It already announced Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores, an expansion exclusive to PS5 launching on April 19th, 2023. Firesprite Studios is also working on Horizon Call of the Mountain, a VR title launching on February 22nd, 2023, for PlayStation VR2.

There could be even more down the line as the studio is hiring for its single-player team, along with the online and external project teams. As always, stay tuned for more updates and announcements in the future.
