The rumored MMO set in Sony’s post-apocalyptic Horizon universe is real — and we’ve seen a video spilling details about the game before it’s been announced.
The new game is called Horizon Steel Frontiers, and Sony and the Korean video game company NCSoft are working on it together. Based on a more than 10-minute video we’ve seen featuring a mix of cinematic and pre-alpha gameplay footage as well as developer interviews, the game will focus strongly on fighting the Horizon series’ giant mechanical beasts and being able to do so with other people.
Here is that video:
Sony and a PR company representing NCSoft didn’t immediately reply to a request for comment. The Verge initially spotted promotional art for Steel Frontiers on a website used to share game assets that media and influencers are approved to use. The art seems to have been posted early, perhaps ahead of an announcement at the G-Star 2025 event in Korea later tonight. The website also included a link to a Google Drive with open access that contained the video. According to that website, Steel Frontiers will be available on PC, iOS, and Android.
