Sony and NCSoft’s Horizon MMO announced for PC, mobile but not PS5

Over the past year, we've been repeatedly hearing about a new MMO based on PlayStation's Horizon franchise. This was partially confirmed earlier this year when Sony announced its new partnership with NCSoft. Now, the big game has been revealed as Horizon Steel Frontiers. 

Horizon Steel Frontiers is an MMORPG spin-off set in the same universe as Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden West. The game will take players to a new area known as the Deadlands, which you can get a preview of in the reveal trailer below:

Interestingly, there has been absolutely no mention of this game coming to PS5, Sony's flagship platform and the console most Horizon fans use. Instead, the game has been announced for PC and mobile, with an emphasis on cross-platform multiplayer. We have to assume that there will be a console version eventually, as having a Horizon game specifically excluded from the PlayStation platform wouldn't make much sense at all.

There is no release date for Horizon Steel Frontiers yet, but we should learn much more about the game in 2026.

KitGuru Says: It certainly looks like a Horizon game, but this trailer doesn't really give us a feel for the multiplayer portion of the game. The lack of PS5 version so far is also incredibly puzzling.
