Guerilla Games has officially announced its new co-op title, Horizon Hunters Gathering, which is set in the universe of Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden West.
The developer company said that the PvE multiplayer title allows players hunt beastly machines from the Horizon games to earn rewards. Calling the game a “new chapter in the Horizon universe,” Guerrilla said Hunters Gathering draws on the studio's multiplayer experience from its work on the Killzone franchise.
What does Horizon Hunters Gathering offer?
Horizon Hunters Gathering is a tactical co-op action game where a team of up to three players go on “challenging and replayable” hunts to take down machines. Guerrilla said the game's combat is “tactical, reactive, and deeply skill-based”.
Guerilla Games shared the game's combat, modes, world, and story. Guerrilla introduced three playable characters who will be available during the upcoming playtest, but the studio said the game's roster of heroes will grow.
Once it's launch, Horizon Hunters Gathering will come with four maps, each of which feature the titular Hunters' Gathering at the centre, where heroes can tweak their loadout, upgrade their gear, and team up for the next hunt. The title will allow players to customise their own campsite and hang out with their friends at the gathering.
Horizon Hunters Gathering launch
Sony and Guerrilla confirmed that Horizon Hunters Gathering will support cross-play between PS5 and PC, along with cross-progression support when users are logged in and save their game using the same PlayStation Network (PSN) account.
