Rejoice! This comes as I am in the middle of putting the finishing touches of 100 percenting the trophies in the DLC (to go alongside my Platinum of the main game and 100 percent of New Game Plus trophies). Everybody's saying this was teased or something at the end of the DLC but I've been getting my trophies in order, so I haven't finished it yet so this is news to me. Once I finish the game the last remaining trophies will pop, and I'll see what all the fuss is about.

We have full confidence in our new leadership as they steer Guerrilla towards a bright future, expanding the world of Horizon with Aloy's next adventure and our exciting online project. Michiel van der Leeuw (Technical Director) will be focusing on the future technology and strategy for the Decima engine.

[RagnarokIV]

Nah I'm good. Too many Ubisoft games already.

 

[Balducci30]

Honestly kinda would’ve loved for them to do a killzone before this but yeah. Hopefully I’ll enjoy the next horizon more - loved the first

 

[Topher]

Eh.....linking to Polygon? Better off just going direct to the source:

[SlimySnake]

Exciting online project

Pass.

 

[Zephir]

That's amazing!
It means Elden Ring 2 is confirmed as well!

 

[ozz ex machina]

This formula needs to be shoved over to a different sudio/branch and Guerrilla proper should get to work on a new Killzone or a new IP.

I don't know how suckers keep lapping up these shit open world games.

 

[SeraphJan]

I figured that the best to way play Ubisoft style open world is just do the main quest, play it for the narrative.

Leave all the side content alone unless you absolutely need some exp or cash, this is done for the best time-to-entertainment ratio, since most side content are just absolutely waste of time.

The side quest lefted there also had a bonus effect of letting you feel the world is alive. You see, once you finished every side quest the world actually felt dead.

Once I stick to this method, I start to get the most enjoyment out of Ubisoft style open world games, you should do it too.

 

[Luipadre]

10+ year stunlock on the same IP sigh. I liked HZD, HFW was okay but im so done with horizon unless they make some huge changes

 

[Fredrik]

That's amazing!
It means Elden Ring 2 is confirmed as well!

Or a new Zelda!

 

[Gudji]

Nice can't wait.

 

[TVexperto]

Nah I'm good. Too many Ubisoft games already.

Well, if completing all those quests in the Horizon game were a college degree, we'd all be magna cum laude graduates by now.

 

[Dibils2k]

Lame, really poor characters and gameplay was already tedious in main game

literally graphics is the only thing saving it but that only gets you so far. disappointed they didnt look into a new IP or even going back to one

 

[Kdad]

Killzone x Horizon crossover when?

 

[Wunray]

OK so we have an idea of when the next zelda game is gonna launch.

 

[Hugare]

Jesus, 3 games and 2 DLCs

Guerrilla tech expertise is being wasted on this franchise

Please do something else. AAA games take 5 years minimun to make, and they are going to make 3, one after the other.

Go the Naughty Dog route and make something different while you are making the next sequel

 

[BennyBlanco]

Nice. Wonder if this will drop the same week as elder scrolls 6 or elden ring 2.

 

[Kupfer]

Honestly kinda would’ve loved for them to do a killzone before this but yeah. Hopefully I’ll enjoy the next horizon more - loved the first

That won't happen, GG is not the right developer for a Killzone as we know and like it anymore. Their current zeitgeist and the demand to satisfy everyone and not to get into trouble doesn't fit with the Killzone universe.

I'm already oversaturated with the Horizon franchise, even without finishing the HFW and personally, I don't need another game from this franchise.

 

[ChiefDada]

I hope they polish up the writing a bit and make it more mature in their follow up. HFW took a couple steps in the wrong direction in terms of narrative and dialog. For the DLC, Aloy's connection with Sekya felt unearned and out of left field. What is it about this new character that made Aloy bond more than with other characters such as Varl, Petra, and Errand who have been through much more together? It doesn’t make much sense to me.

 

[Robb]

I’m not that big of a fan of the games, but this was expected. Can’t wait to see what it looks like though.

 

[[Sigma]]

Well I knew it, but them confirming somehow makes it hurt worse. Horizon multiplayer and Horizon 3. No secret Socom revival. This studio has no soul now, it's pratically dead to me.

 

[Aenima]

Anyone that finished the main quest, knew this was coming. Would rather see Guerrilla trying a new IP before a new Horizon.

 

[Woggleman]

I am genuinely looking forward to it but they need to tell their marketing team to watch other release dates like a hawk.

Kotallo is another good example. he had good chemistry with Aloy given his traits and story and they worked well together.

As much as I love this franchise, I just couldn't buy into the Aloy and Seika relationship, it felt poorly written and rushed.

 

[SCB3]

Hey you know what, Sony own Bungie now, that could be a fun Killzone to play

 

[Tomi]

So Forbidden West was very successful for Sony when they going for third instalment.
Congrats to them and for all sales they got, they deserved it.
Game and whole franchise is excellent!!!

Problem is you can’t progress in certain areas without fetch quests - and upgrading the gear is a pain in the ass

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

We're never getting another killzone are we

 

[rofif]

KILLZONE COLLECTION FUCKING CMON.
Where is killzone 2 4k120 port

 

[Kerotan]

They have to conclude the story so horizon 3 makes sense. The first 2 were on ps4 so a mainline horizon only on next gen will be a big jump. Should be a ps5 Pro version too.

 

[Kupfer]

Is this the "you finished the game" trophy?

Spoiler

If so, 30% isn't that many many people who actually finished the game.

 

[SeraphJan]

If that's the case, just do the minimal requirement, think it this way, JRPG also had some mandatory fetch quests, just don't over done it.

[geary]

Neah, it's aligned with TES VI release date....

see I think they could actually do killzone very well now, they could’ve learned some stuff that worked/didn’t work from doing Horizon and return to the killzone 2 formula and evolve it. Maybe wishful thinking

 

[Ar¢tos]

... yay... more of the same....
I'm playing HFW and I'm enjoying it, but I would prefer something new.
When was the last time Sony made a AAA action adventure game (no RPG elements)?

 

[John Bilbo]

Or a new Zelda!

WAT

 

[GymWolf]

It was always supposed to be a trilogy, no surprise here.

 

[Aenima]

Is this the "you finished the game" trophy?

Spoiler

Yup. Thats the last main quest. Even the trophy description mention thers something new coming. So while the game dosent end in a cliffhanger, it pretty much ends in a "to be continued"

 

[Turk1993]

 

[hemo memo]

He will be fully transitioned by then. The Aloy name also works for a male.

 

[Roman Empire]

Well, better strike while the iron is hot as the saying goes. Anyone thinking they would do anything different after the cliffhanger of the second game and the DLC must be willingly blind. This is, at least, a trilogy and I don't think Guerrilla will let go of Horizon's world even after Aloy's story is completed.

 

[Slothbeing1209]

I'll care if they add block/parry option and some decent melee combat, better climping system. And make Aloy STFU.

 

[unlurkified]

Definite mixed feelings about them making a sequel, especially with Silens having to be out of the story (due to recent unfortunate death of his actror). Got burned out on all the side content too from HFW and just went through the story in Burning Shores. Hopefully they take a ‘less is more’ approach and drastically cut down on the bloat, just doing quality side stories.

 

[Topher]

After H3, GG needs to remake Killzone and port it to PC day one.

 

[Bartski]

 

[HighPoly]

Can you even imagine how beautiful will be the next Horizon, tottally developed for PS5 ???

 

[Punished Miku]

They did DLC for Frozen and Burning already.

The DLC for part 3 will likely be moderate climate, 70 degrees F. Sunny with a light breeze. Low pollen.

 

[Fredrik]

WAT

Just a joke, Guerrilla always release their Horizon games close to a game of the generation contender. First one released close to Zelda BOTW, the second one was close to Elden Ring. Means we must get Elden Ring 2 or a new Zelda when the third Horizon game comes out!

 

[Bond007]

I expected a Trilogy for this series so im not surprised.
A break in between would have been ideal in my opinion(New IP, KZ)- series fatigue for most of us seems to be happening.

Online game was mentioned- is that Horizon based?
