Guerrilla Games officially announce co-op focused ‘Horizon Hunters Gathering’

Following the success of Horizon Zero Dawn and Forbidden West, insiders claimed that multiple additional projects set in the world of Horizon were in the works. Alongside the MMO in development with NCSOFT (Horizon Steel Frontiers), the OG franchise creators Guerrilla Games have now unveiled their own multiplayer project: Horizon Hunters Gathering.

Releasing a lengthy 10-minute announcement trailer, the team at Guerrilla Games officially unveiled Horizon Hunters Gathering – a 3-player co-op experience in which you “Choose from a roster of uniquely skilled Hunters…and rally for the hunt as you face off against a deadly machine threat in action-packed combat and high-stake missions.”

Launching simultaneously on PS5 and PC, Hunters Gathering will include support for both cross-play and cross-progression alongside online matchmaking (though the game can also be played solo with two AI companions).

Perhaps the most interesting aspect of the game is its art style, with Horizon Hunters Gathering featuring a much more cartoony aesthetic when compared to the mainline Horizon entries.

So far, no release date nor a release window has been provided, however those interested in the title can sign up for future playtests right now (the details of which can be found HERE).

While the Horizon games are known for their narratives, both Zero Dawn and Forbidden West feature fun and satisfying combat. With Hunters Gathering looking to further evolve its gameplay, here’s to hoping that the co-op title winds up being a success on all fronts.
