Horizon Steel Frontiers: NC America CEO Gives Update on MMO

Horizon Steel Frontiers, the MMORPG set in the post-apocalyptic franchise created by Guerrilla Games, was officially revealed last October, after rumors of a potential cancellation. We got our latest update from NC America CEO Jeonghee “JJ” Jin at GDC 2026, who did an interview with Wccftech.

Jeonghee Jin was asked about the potential of a PS5 port for the game, which is currently only confirmed for PC and mobile. Jin revealed that Horizon Steel Frontiers is being revealed in close collaboration with the original IP creator Guerrilla, and it looks quite good so far.

Development is going very well. The team is working closely with Guerrilla Games and Sony Interactive Entertainment, and the game is looking genuinely amazing: a beautiful, stunning world where humanity, nature, and technology all collide. The developers have built something that I think will be a great MMO experience.

As for platforms beyond what's already been announced, the game was announced as a mobile and PC cross-play title, and that's all I can confirm right now. Who knows, there may be more to come. I know the PS5 question came up at G-Star, and the developer's response there was essentially "that would be really cool, we'd need to talk to Sony." The original scope was mobile and PC cross-play, but I absolutely think there's a possibility of more. I'll leave it at that.

Set in a vast region known as the Deadlands, loosely inspired by Arizona and New Mexico. Players will create their own machine hunters, with several confirmed features already;

• Large-scale multiplayer raids and co-op machine hunting

• A combat system that equally supports ranged and melee, tuned for group fights

• Open world exploration and resource scavenging

• Deep character customization

• Social systems like guilds, friends list, and chat

While no date is confirmed for a release, we hopefully will get more information on the game some time this year.
