Although the story doesn't give further information on the projects, it's been reported for some time that Project H was the codename for an MMORPG based on Sony's Horizon franchise. Now, according to the report, it seems Project H has ceased development with developers previously tied to the project leaving NCSoft.
It's reported that developers who didn't leave following the cancellation have been moved to different projects across the company. The company signed a strategic global business partnership with Sony Interactive Entertainment in 2023, following reports that Sony and NCSoft had struck a deal to create an MMORPG based on Sony's franchise.
Quote, partnering with NCSoft advances our strategy to expand beyond... console and broaden PlayStation's reach to a wider audience, said then-SIE boss Jim Ryan. Like SIE, NCSoft shares a similar vision in creating high-quality, impactful entertainment experiences for players everywhere, and together, we're excited to collaborate to push the boundaries of gaming further."
It's believed that the project may have been a victim of layoffs that took place at the company in October. VGC has contacted NCSoft for clarification. Blessing, this has got to break your heart. We were just talking about this the other day.
We already have a super chat from Street Shadow. Just in case this wasn't clear, I read the Korean version of the Horizon MMO cancellation. This was an NCSoft decision, not Sony. It was a collab project.
What do we want from Horizon? Let me guess. Maybe it's Irk Imp who writes in and says, Horizon MMO, like WoW or ESO. No. A Horizon Monster Hunter, yes.
The Guerrilla Co-op one we've heard about forever.
I think... I'll work through the looking glass on that one.
Yeah, so early PS I Love You days with Colin where I remember distinctly we were doing the news and it was one of these articles that was some marketing uppity up at PlayStation talking about how Horizon to them was a transmedia property. And I remember being like, yo, slow down. Do we care about this? Is this going to be big enough? And then, of course, the game was great.
I'm not taking away from the quality of Zero Dawn or... Forbidden West. Forbidden West. Well, that was the... Yes, and Burning Shores. That's where I was caught up. I'm not taking away from the quality of the games, but it was like... Okay, it was big, but then it has been this rush to... mine it over and over and over and over again.
And outside of Janet, I really don't know the Horizon faithful diehards who are buying every piece of Horizon merch and every tie-in and every crossover.
We saw it with this show that never came to be. Right? Like, okay, we're gonna tell a show, but it's gonna be the prequel. It's gonna be, like, all this other stuff and what was going on.
And that's where you come down with this MMO game where it's like, You know, I've connected before with DC Universe Online as my MMO, and I like that a lot. So the idea of an NCSoft slash PlayStation MMORPG is interesting. Horizon's world is interesting. But it would have been like, so am I just... I'm Aloy Light. I'm Diet Aloy. Like, I'm not Aloy, so I'm going to be this character I create.
But I'm also using a focus, and I'm also doing all this stuff, and I'm shooting the bows, and I'm doing the things. And it's like, again...
the rumored gorilla co-op monster hunter like horizon is more interesting because i feel like that strikes me so much like ghost of tsushima legends where it's going to be a thing of like oh cool let's go off and do this let's take on this thing let's go that you know i mean like i don't need the story of my character in this mmorpg foist upon me where i'm like oh i'm trying to make where am i i'm in the seattle region or whatever i don't know what's going on yeah and it's like i
And that could be cool if it was like you're over in Europe or something.
Uh, jumping into a little bit of the super chats here to continue the conversation. Uh, tedious says as someone who loves lore in game, I would probably have tried the horizon MMO quit a weekend, then delved into the wiki lore minds like always interesting way to tackle it. But yeah, there's going to be so much to do, obviously in an MMO. Why would you do that?
Um, DJ Kento writes in like this horizon popularity test. Can anyone in the office name five or even three characters in horizon other than Aloy?
Who had the big hammer.
Yeah, yeah, hammer guy.
