Horizon Steel Frontiers is an upcoming cross-platform MMORPG developed by NCSOFT, set in the expansive universe of Guerrilla Games’ Horizon franchise. Revealed during G-Star 2025, the game is a evolution of the series, transitioning from single-player action RPGs to a massive multiplayer online format.
Players will explore the Deadlands, a newly introduced region inspired by the deserts and canyons of Arizona and Mexico, where tribal societies and colossal machines coexist in a post-apocalyptic ecosystem. Gameplay in Horizon Steel Frontiers centers around hunting mechanical beasts, scavenging resources, and engaging in faction-based warfare. Players can customize their characters, craft gear, and participate in raid-style battles against towering machines.
Currently, Horizon Steel Frontiers is in active development, with its announcement accompanied by a cinematic trailer and early gameplay showcase. While no official release date has been confirmed, the game is expected to launch in 2026, following closed beta testing and regional previews. It will be available on PC and mobile platforms (iOS and Android) via NCSOFT’s PURPLE cross-platform service, ensuring seamless play across devices. The game is planned for a global release, with localization efforts targeting Asia, North America, and Europe.
