Fans expecting Horizon 3 to arrive by 2027 are panicking over a new rumor from an insider. Guerrilla Games may be devoting most of its resources to the newly announced Horizon Hunters Gathering. The live service PS5 game could delay the release date of the third mainline single-player adventure.
I think plenty of Horizon fans would be just fine if they integrated a non-live-service multiplayer mode alongside the main single player mode, but AAAs have just about forgotten how to make multiplayer modes that aren’t live service.
What does “non-live-service multiplayer mode” mean? Just release a new game mode and don’t update it anymore? Edit: I mean, is Mario Kart games a non-live-service multiplayer mode to you?
Sure, don’t update it, and it will continue to exist without further intervention from the developer. We used to get this all the time. A multiplayer mode that isn’t expected to continue to grow or maintain an active player base month after month, because that’s an absurd goal to hit that only a lucky few will ever succeed at under the best of circumstances.
But if they only release one map – how will they sell the others? Checkmate.
Gotta double charge. Really important.
Plenty or horizon fans would be fine with another full price dlc.
