While the imagination of many is still on Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores, the expansion for Horizon Forbidden West announced last week at The Game Awards 2022, we received new, and even more exciting news, about Sony’s plans for one of the families which, despite having only two titles for now, is already becoming one of the most relevant in the catalog of Sony console exclusives (although the first of them, Horizon Zoro Dawn, already made the leap to PC a few years ago). some time, fortunately).
As I said, the announcement of the future expansion of Horizon Forbidden West that, again with Aloy, will take us to explore the lands of ancient California, now turned into a volcanic archipelago with places at the same height as the series already gave us. has become accustomed to, it was one of the most relevant of the entire event, and despite the fact that in the multiple criticisms and analyzes that I have been able to see of it, the vast majority agree that it has been one of the best years of this gala, at least in terms of as regards advertisements.
Now, as with the vast majority of non-multiplayer games, no matter how hard the studio tries to make them quite long, they end up having an ending. Then we can play them again to complete the secondary missions, raise the level of difficulty, set some special objective (like getting from start to finish in a single game session), etc., but the truth is that nothing is ever the same as before. first time. Just like with our favorite movies, series, records and books, their discovery is still a time-limited experience. And yes, it is true that there are games that are saved (obviously, being me, at this point I have to mention Minecraft), but in that case there is no argument that serves to structure the story.

So, I admit that after having enjoyed Horizon Zero Dawn on PC, and waiting for Forbidden West to come to PC, I was left with that classic bittersweet taste that makes you wonder, «what would it be like to play this with friends?«. And the good news is that, as confirmed by the developer itself in a tweetthe answer to this question is already on the way, since Guerrilla and Sony are already working on a multiplayer Horizon.
The project is in a very early phase, and the message is also a call to professionals who want to join the project, which indicates that the team that will work on this multiplayer development is still beginning to be formed, which, as stated in the message, it will add new characters and maintain the unique visual style of the franchise. And there are no less than 36 professional profiles sought by Guerrilla for this development, grouped into five large groups: animation, art, design, programming and writing, which allows us to get an idea that the plan is quite ambitious.
