Sony's Horizon live service spinoff, Horizon Hunters Gathering (HHG), may be canceled by December, according to internal sources. The game, developed by Guerrilla Games, was introduced earlier this year as a co-op action multiplayer experience set in the Horizon universe. However, recent private beta testing sessions have received negative feedback, leading Sony executives to remove the live-service component and revert the game to a traditional co-op multiplayer title.
Guerrilla developers have been working on HHG for some time, but the project has faced significant challenges. Sony's Amsterdam-based subsidiary now has until December to impress executives, or HHG might be abandoned and its developers reassigned to another project. This could be a disappointing end for Sony, which has struggled to create successful live service experiences, including with Concord, God of War, Spider-Man, and The Last of Us. The failure of these projects has reportedly cost the company hundreds of millions of dollars.
