Horizon Hunters Gathering Revealed – Guerrilla’s New Co-op Action Game
/
Sony and Guerrilla Games have revealed Horizon Hunters Gathering, a co-op action game where players fight Horizon’s machines in teams of up to three.
Here’s the quick synopsis provided by Sony.
Find your calling and team up as humanity’s last line of defense against deadly machines in Horizon Hunters Gathering.
Squad Up in Three-Player Teams
Choose from a roster of uniquely skilled Hunters, each with a different playstyle and weapon, and fight in coordinated co-op with friends or alongside NPCs against a deadly machine threat.
Hunt Lethal Machines Together
Face off against challenging and lethal machines, with a variety of attacks and elemental effects, in high-intensity missions across different environments and landscapes.
An Ongoing Adventure
The hunt doesn’t end—experience the adventure and the story of this new battle against the machines through a richly interconnected campaign.

It’s clearly giving off Monster Hunter vibes, and its vibrant colors and more cartoon-like art style suggest Guerrilla wants to differentiate this game from the mainline series. It’s also hero-based, meaning players will choose from a roster of characters with distinct playstyles and defined roles.
Guerrilla’s attempt to expand the Horizon universe appears to be aimed at reaching a younger audience, something we already saw with LEGO Horizon Adventures two years ago.
I’m not entirely thrilled at first glance. A lot will come down to how the gameplay loop feels and how accessible the game is for new players. No release date was announced, but Guerrilla is planning playtests through PlayStation’s beta program.
Horizon Hunters Gathering is coming to PS5 and PC via Steam, although its Steam page is currently region-locked in certain areas.

Octopath Traveler 0 is a mixed bag, with some genuinely likeable characters and engaging story arcs, alongside others that fall flat. You then have a final act that had me banging my head against the wall. Still, its satisfying combat system, strong party synergy, and striking visual style make it an enjoyable JRPG overall.
