We started with a small group of Guerrillas \u2013 including myself back in the days as Design Director \u2013 and began exploring what that could look like. Drawing on our experience from the Killzone multiplayer titles and the momentum of Horizon Zero Dawn, we set out to bring cooperative action into the Horizon franchise.<\/p>\n<p class>Since then, the team and the game have grown tremendously. Throughout its development we\u2019ve done extensive testing, patching, and feedback iteration. One of my favorite moments was our first in-studio playtest with the entire team: a special milestone where the vision and hard work from every discipline finally came together in a playable form. It\u2019s always nerve-wracking to share early builds, but moments like that test, as well as today\u2019s announcement, make it worthwhile.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class>Horizon Hunters Gathering is a cooperative action game (developed by Guerrilla for PS5 and PC) that lets up to three players team up as heroic Hunters to protect a world under threat from deadly machines. Combat is tactical, reactive, and deeply skill-based, building on the tactical precision of the Horizon games while embracing the dynamics of team play.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class>The foundation of Horizon Hunters Gathering centers around challenging and replayable hunts. Today we\u2019re revealing two game modes: Machine Incursion, a high-intensity mission where waves of machines pour out from underground gateways, led by a formidable boss; and Cauldron Descent, a longer, multi-stage trial in which ever-changing rooms push Hunters to their limits, from brutal machine encounters to hidden doors that promise power and reward for teams prepared to open them.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class>Both modes will be available in our upcoming closed playtest through the PlayStation Beta Program on PS5 and PC. We\u2019re excited for players to get hands-on and help shape the game with their feedback.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class>In Horizon Hunters Gathering, you choose from a roster of uniquely skilled Hunters \u2013 each with distinct melee or ranged playstyles and weapons \u2013 and select Hunter roles further embedded with a rogue-lite perk system to craft the build that best suits your style and your team.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class>These Hunters have their own motivations and personal struggles, which comes together in new stories we want to tell in the world of Horizon. The game has a narrative campaign which will introduce new mysteries, characters, and threats, but we\u2019re keeping it under wraps for now.\u00a0 What we can say is that Hunters Gathering is fully canon and its story doesn\u2019t stop at launch!<\/p>\n<p class>As you hunt dangerous machines in the wilds, you\u2019ll travel through a range of environments that bring missions and stories to life. Each location offers its own atmosphere, challenges, and opportunities for your team to explore and master together.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class>Between missions, you\u2019ll return to Hunters Gathering: a vibrant social hub where players can connect, prepare, and celebrate victories together. Here, you can customize your Hunters, visit vendors, upgrade gear, and team up for your next adventure.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class>With today\u2019s announcement, we\u2019re beginning a journey we hope to continue with you. Our first, small-scale closed playtest arrives at the end of February;<span>\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.playstation.com\/beta-program-at-playstation\/?hr=true&#038;betaId=DEA61B71-0498-4EEB-9EAF-53C71761F968\">you can sign up via the PlayStation Beta Program and mark your interest in any future Horizon Hunters Gathering playtest on PC or PS5<\/a>. By the way, Horizon Hunters Gathering supports cross-play between PS5 and PC, plus cross-progression when you are logged in and save your game using the same PlayStation account!<\/p>\n<p class>Though it\u2019s still early on, you can expect more regular development updates and playtest announcements from us in the coming months. To stay in the loop on all the latest news about the game, we\u2019ve launched<span>\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/discord.gg\/aqPapteMaw\">a brand-new Horizon Hunters Gathering Discord<\/a><span>\u00a0<\/span>\u2013 we\u2019d love to see you there!\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class>On a personal note, this is both an exciting and daunting step for us. Multiplayer games have always been part of our studio\u2019s DNA, and it\u2019s where I began my own career. Bringing a co-op hunting experience into the Horizon universe is something we\u2019ve envisioned for a long time, and we\u2019re approaching it with care, ambition, and passion. I hope the coming months give you a sense of the scale and complexity of what we\u2019ve been building \u2013 or better yet, let you experience it yourself in a playtest.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class>On behalf of everyone at Guerrilla, thank you to our Horizon fans and creators who support and believe in us. And welcome to all new Hunters excited to join us on this adventure. Horizon Hunters Gathering is about taking on challenges together \u2013 and we\u2019re just getting started.\u00a0<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><em>A life-long and avid gamer,\u00a0<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vgchartz.com\/author\/79\/william-dangelo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">William D&#8217;Angelo<\/a><em><span>\u00a0<\/span>was first introduced to VGChartz in 2007.
