Guerrilla Games has recely unveiled a new game in the world of Horizon called Horizon Huers Gathering.
Coming to PlayStation 5 and PC, the game is a “co-op tactical action game” set in the world of the Horizon series. According to the iroduction video, the game allows up to three players to team up as Huers to protect a world threatened by deadly machines.
Gorilla has announced that at launch, players will be able to experience Huers Gathering solo with non-playable characters (NPCs) or co-op with other players; But in the upcoming public test, only the co-op mode will be available. According to Gorilla, the game also features a story campaign that iroduces new secrets, characters, and threats. Gorilla plans to hold a “coach-scale test” at the end of February, which ehusiasts can sign up for through the PlayStation Beta Program. Arjan Bak, the director of the game, who was previously the art director of Zero Down, said:
From the very first ideas that shaped the world of Horizon, our dream was that players could go car huing together. With a small group of Guerrilla members, including myself, who was the design director at the time, we began to explore what such a thing could look like. Based on our experience in the multiplayer section of Killzone games and the success of Horizon Zero Down, we decided to bring elemes of action co-op io the Horizon series.
According to Buck, the game’s combat will be “tactical, reaction-based, and deeply skill-based,” and the gameplay will revolve around hus that are worth replaying. Players can choose from a roster of unique huers, each with their own melee or ranged combat style and weapons. There are also differe roles for huers to choose from, combined with a roguelite-style perk system to allow players to create their own custom build.
Between missions, players return to the Huers Gathering; A hub where they can customize their character, visit vendors, upgrade their equipme and team up for the next mission. Currely, two game modes have been revealed:
- Machine Incursion, a tense mission where waves of machines pour out of underground portals and are ultimately led by a powerful boss.
- and Cauldron Desce, a long, multi-stage challenge where rooms full of machines and ever-changing secret doors push huers to their limits, rewarding them with power.
It is worth meioning that since the beginning of the Horizon series in 2017, Gorilla has released Horizon Zero Dawn, Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds expansion pack, Horizon Forbidden West game, Horizon: Call of the Mouain virtual reality game, Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores expansion pack and also Lego Horizon Adveures, all of which have shown high quality. Also, NCSoft has recely unveiled the game Horizon Steel Froiers; A new role-playing MMO based on the world of Horizon.
