Guerrilla Games have shared a new message, confirming that they are expanding the world of Horizon with Aloy's next adventure as well as a new online project.

Horizon Zero Dawn and Forbidden West have been major successes for PlayStation and it's certainly not surprising to see Guerrilla Games expanding this world with new games. In today's message, Guerrilla have provided an update on the studio structure and their new projects, confirming among other things that there's a new single-player Horizon game in development, featuring Aloy as a protagonist. 

Guerrilla say their Studio Director and Executive Producer Angie Smets has joined PlayStation Studios as Head of Development Strategy. The new Guerrilla management will now consist of Joel Eschler (Studio Director and Production Director) and Hella Schmidt (Studio Director and General Manager), alongside Jan-Bart van Beek (Studio Director and Art Director).

"We have full confidence in our new leadership as they steer Guerrilla towards a bright future, expanding the world of Horizon with Aloy's next adventure and our exciting online project," it's noted in the message.

At the moment, we don't have additional details on the next Horizon game. Two things are for certain though - It's going to be quite the looker and it won't be coming anytime soon. If you've already completed the Burning Shores expansion, you've probably noticed that it's setting up the story for the next game.

As for the online project which Guerrilla also mentioned, it is rumoured that the studio is developing an MMO with NCSoft. The project is "featuring a new cast of characters and a unique stylized look" allowing players to explore the Horizon world together.

All in all, fans of the Horizon franchise will certainly be ecstatic to hear the news about Guerrilla's plans to expand this series to more genres and styles. It may take a while before we see these new projects but we don't have any doubts that they will be worth the wait as most Guerrilla titles do.
