At one point, not long after Horizon Forbidden West was released, it looked as if the franchise was poised to expand in every direction, from spin-offs to a Netflix streaming series, nevertheless it didn’t take long for various projects to either be cancelled or simply fall off the radar, and this recent title was amongst those projects. Horizon Steel Frontiers will allow players to select from familiar tribes within the franchise to hunt machines together using familiar gameplay mechanics in an open world area called the Deadlands.
“Set within the lands of the machine hunters generally known as the Deadlands, the sport builds on Horizon’s signature hunting-action gameplay while introducing advanced MMORPG systems, featuring deeply customizable combat and extensive player freedom. The title goals to deliver a definite Horizon experience to players world wide.”
