A new job listing from Guerrilla Games implies that the next Horizon game will be released during the first half of 2025. The Horizon series has found continued success since its start in 2017, and its protagonist, Aloy, has often appeared as a symbol of the PlayStation brand.
Selling over 32 million units as of May 2023, the Horizon series has become one of Sony’s most beloved franchises. Horizon Zero Dawn is one of the best-selling PlayStation 4 games to date, while its sequel, Horizon Forbidden West, was one of the most expensive games to create in history, costing over $200 million to develop. The series has spawned comic adaptations and a board game, with a potential Horizon television series potentially still in the works. The developers of the series seem eager to strike while the iron is still hot, as it seems that a new game in the franchise may be coming sooner than many fans anticipated.

Guerrilla Games May Launch New Horizon Title During First Half of 2025
Guerrilla has made it clear that it will be some time before Horizon 3 is released, with a potential reveal rumored to be coming later in 2025. Ahead of the next mainline installment in Aloy’s adventure, Horizon continues to expand and reinvent itself, with the PlayStation VR2 title Horizon Call of the Mountain appearing as a launch title for the virtual reality headset in 2023 and LEGO Horizon Adventures launching for PC, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch on November 14. Aloy herself also continues to appear in other games, popping up in everything from Monster Hunter: World to Genshin Impact.
While fans of the franchise are pleased with the number of projects in the pipeline, some gamers are frustrated, as it feels like Sony is prioritizing Horizon over its other popular IPs. Fans have been asking for a new Killzone game for over a decade, while even more are eager for the return of classics like Sly Cooper for modern consoles. Regardless of these concerns, Horizon continues to permeate the gaming sphere, and the community is eager to find out if a new game is close at hand.

The Horizon franchise follows Aloy as she is forced to contend with a series of powerful, towering robotic creatures in a post-apocalyptic landscape. The third-person action-RPG has already seen a sequel with Horizon: Forbidden West and gives players the freedom to explore the open world as they see fit.
