Sony are rebooting their live service Horizon game as a more traditional co-op affair, claim sources, with a proper Horizon Forbidden West sequel still years away

The development team now have "through December" (Schreier's words) to impress executives up the ladder.

This sounds like Guerilla is about to suffer the same fate as Bluepoint. Another casualty of Sony’s piss poor management.

This is a great sign.

It’s Sony looking at sales and all-but-explicitly concluding “okay, we get it. Live service grind is out, comfy couch coop is in.”

About damn time. This might actually turn out to be something Mrs. Noodle and I play together.

Well, competition is stiff. I suspect there are better coop games to try, unless the Noodle household is really into Horizon lore and stuff.

This house loves robots, dinosaurs, robot dinosaurs, and badass redheads.

I give it 2 months post-release before they introduce loot boxes, P2W mechanics, or Sims-style never-ending DLC.

Give Killzone back to Guerilla you bastards
