[Rumour] Sony Partners With NCSoft For Horizon MMORPG

The Horizon universe from PlayStation isn’t just relegated to the single-player game, a Netflix series, and the upcoming VR title next year. It might branch off into MMORPG territory.

According to a report from news site MTN, Sony is teaming up with Korean gaming company NCSoft to make a Horizon MMORPG. The game is rumoured to be in development at NCSoft’s offices, with the title made for global audiences as part of Sony’s push into live service games. As of now, NCSoft is recruiting developers for the title that’s codenamed Project H in job ads.

Despite NCSoft’s global communications team denying this, it would be interesting to see an open-world MMORPG Horizon game where you make your own warrior who can communicate with the machines. NCSoft has published and made titles like the Lineage action RPG series and Guild Wars, so making a licensed MMORPG in a setting ripe with an open world and interesting robot animal dinosaur hybrids running amuck might be the jumpstart they need.
