Fans of the Horizon series have received unexpected news about a new title called Horizon Hunters Gathering, a spin-off that could impact the development of a third main installment in the saga. The developer Guerrilla Games and the publisher Sony have surprised the community with this announcement, leading to speculation about the status of Horizon 3. According to renowned journalist Jason Schreier from Bloomberg, it seems that most of the development team is focused on this new project, suggesting that Horizon 3 may not be a priority at this time.
At least another five years
Fans have expressed their concern about the possible delay in the release of the third game, which many were anticipating after the success of Horizon Forbidden West in 2022. While some fans fear that this new approach will delay the project, others argue that the development of AAA titles like Horizon 3 usually takes five years or more, making the waiting time a normal part of the development process. This creates an interesting debate about whether the arrival of Horizon Hunters Gathering will truly impact the schedule of Horizon 3.
In other news, information has been made public regarding an out-of-court settlement between Tencent and Sony, which resulted in the removal of a game similar to Horizon called Light of Motiram from the Steam and Epic Games Store platforms. This event underscores the ongoing vigilance of major video game companies over intellectual property and content related to their most successful franchises. Meanwhile, all eyes remain fixed on the future of the Horizon series and what Horizon Hunters Gathering will be able to offer its followers.
