You can play Horizon Hunters Gathering again this month

Not all fans were impressed with the reveal for Horizon Hunters Gathering, but development has continued. The latest closed playtest is now due to take place, with Sony inviting fans to sign up to participate. 

The next playtest for Horizon Hunters Gathering will take place from May 22nd to May 25th. Fans can register to the PlayStation Beta Program to sign up for playtests like this. A new teaser trailer also dropped alongside the playtest news:

As much as I still don't like the art direction for this game, I do think the gameplay here is looking better than the initial reveal.

Horizon Hunters Gathering is a new multiplayer spin-off set in the Horizon Zero Dawn universe, developed by Guerrilla Games. Many fans have criticised the game for its change in art style versus the mainline Horizon titles, as well as its perceived similarities to games like Dauntless.

With that said, if the game is fun, it will ultimately find an audience, although participants in the upcoming playtest will likely be subject to an NDA. It is unclear when this game will come out but it is expected to release sometime this year.
