Rumors are spreading online that the third installment of the Horizon game series is in development and may release in 2027. While Sony has yet to confirm anything officially, several reports suggest a launch window that lines up with the arrival of PlayStation 6.
Horizon 3 Could Be a Launch Title for PlayStation 6
According to unofficial sources, the upcoming game will be released for both PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 6, with strong hints that it may be one of the launch titles for the new PS6 console. This follows the pattern set by the second entry, Horizon Forbidden West, which came out in 2022 and became a major success for Guerrilla Games and Sony.
A Long Wait Since the Last Adventure
Since Forbidden West, fans haven’t had much new content—aside from the Lego Horizon Adventures spin-off, which was widely seen as a weaker entry in the series. Now, it appears the main storyline may finally continue, bringing players back into Aloy’s post-apocalyptic world.
Nemesis Might Return as the New Main Villain
Some reports suggest that Nemesis, the ominous figure briefly introduced at the end of Forbidden West, will return as the central threat in Horizon 3. However, this information is still based on speculation and may not be accurate until Sony provides official confirmation.
Cross-Generation Release Makes Sense Financially
If the game is released for both PS5 and PS6, it would be a logical move. The hardware similarities between the two consoles, combined with the increasing cost of AAA game development, make it financially practical to support both platforms and reach a wider audience.
Multiplayer Spin-Off Project Also in the Works?
In addition to the main game, rumors continue about a multiplayer online title set in the Horizon universe. Although nothing has been officially announced, job postings and leaks from Guerrilla Games hint that such a project is currently in active development.
Some insiders have even compared it to Monster Hunter, where players could team up in co-op mode to hunt giant mechanical creatures in a shared world.
Fans Eagerly Await Official News from Sony
So far, Sony has stayed silent regarding the future of the Horizon franchise. But with mounting evidence and fan demand, it’s likely only a matter of time before we hear something concrete. Until then, the community remains excited and hopeful for what’s next in one of PlayStation’s most beloved franchises.
