Horizon Zero Dawn 3 scheduled for 2027 as a cross-gen PS6 game claims rumour GameCentral Published May 13, 2025 1:01pm Updated May 13, 2025 1:01pm Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered – Aloy will return (Sony Interactive Entertainment) Sony is planning to launch the PS6 with a new Horizon game, as the latest rumours suggest that a Horizon Online spin-off is still on the way. Back in 2022, when Horizon Forbidden West was released on PlayStation 4 and 5, everything seemed to be going perfectly normally for Sony. The PlayStation 5 was selling well, they had lots of new first party games released or announced, and everything appeared primed to continue much in the way the previous generation had. But that was before Sony became obsessed with live service games and suddenly realised, seemingly overnight, that video games were becoming too expensive to make in the normal fashion. Fast forward three years and their first party output has slowed to a crawl and the only new Horizon game to be released has been Lego Horizon Adventures – which was, not unsurprisingly, a flop. Technically, developer Guerrilla Games has already confirmed Horizon 3 will happen, although only in the vaguest sense of stating, in 2023, that they’re currently working on ‘Aloy’s next adventure’. Now a rumour suggests that the third mainline entry is well underway and due for release in the next two years. According to TCMFGames, via Insider Gaming, the game’s story will focus on the enemy AI Nemesis (which was teased in the second game, so not much of a revelation) and is ‘potentially’ a cross-gen title for both PlayStation 5 and 6. Anyone could guess that but whether this particular source has inside knowledge or not it does seem very likely that this is what Sony is aiming for, considering they have not said a word about the series in years. If the date is accurate then it could well be that the game is being positioned as a launch title for the PlayStation 6, which would make perfect sense given the franchise’s popularity and reputation for cutting edge visuals. Being cross-gen is also not a surprise, especially as the leap in graphical power is likely to be fairly minimal for the next generation, making it relatively easy to continue support for the PlayStation 5. As for the rumoured multiplayer game, it’s never been officially announced but it’s been leaked multiple times already and Guerilla Games has been posting job ads for people to work on an unspecified multiplayer title – so there seems little doubt that it did exist at some point. More Trending There was some question as to whether it was cancelled during Sony’s recent purge of live service titles, but recent indicators are that it was not. Rumours suggest that it’s relatively similar to Monster Hunter, which would make sense given all of Horizon’s robot animals, and isn’t to be confused with talk of an MMO and mobile game. The former was once underway at NCsoft and is believed to be cancelled, the fate of the mobile title is unknown. If Horizon Online, as fans have dubbed it, is going to be out before 2027 you would expect Sony to start talking about it relatively soon, perhaps at its not-E3 summer showcase. If Horizon 3 is closely connected to the PlayStation 6 though, it may be a while longer before we hear about that. Horizon Forbidden West – how much better will the graphics be on PS6?
