Calling all Horizon fans - brace yourselves for a wild ride! The Horizon universe just turned its dials to epic with the announcement of Horizon Steel Frontiers, an MMORPG developed by NCSoft that will take your gaming experiences to new heights on mobile and PC! Smash your expectations because this isn't the sequel to Forbidden West you anticipated. Instead, let’s dive headfirst into an electrifying world where the Deadlands beckon calamity and adventure! 🌄💥
Remember those juicy rumors swirling since 2022? Here they are coming to glorious life! This isn't just any Horizon game; it's a cooperative extravaganza where teamwork fuels your journey through vast landscapes echoing Arizona and New Mexico. Strap in – the machine-filled wastelands await your masterful command alongside your co-op buddies. The suspenseful ruins of humanity loom large, but giant mechanical beasts remain the true headliners. 🔥🤖
Switching gears, let’s talk combat! Leave your quiver at the door because melee combat is making a thunderous entrance. Swing your mammoth sword, flash dual blades, and slice through those hulking beasts with style and ferocity! Long-range lovers, don’t fret; bows aren’t entirely benched as they still get air time. But with a focus on high-octane swordplay, you’ll redefine your battlefield tactics. 🗡️🏹
The stakes? They just went up! A novel feature fuels your defensive strategies – a charged blade ability lets you swat aside enemy strikes like a pro. Meanwhile, seize the offensive with the Pullcaster grapple hook, clamber onto machines, and lay tactical traps to weaken your prey. NCSoft promises a revolution: adapting Horizon’s familiar mechanics into the MMO realm and boy, it promises to be a twisty, delightful challenge. 🚁💥
While Horizon's essence remains – machine parts flying off in battle, resource collection from the fallen, and thrilling combat – there’s a tantalizing Monster Hunter essence flowing through it all. Executive producer Sung-Gu Lee hypes cooperative strategy as your ticket to success. It's about claiming your role in a tapestry of thrilling expedition missions. Visuals of characters preparing meals set the mood, reminiscent of Monster Hunter’s iconic chef scenes. Never seen anything like it in Horizon? Well, brace yourselves because this engrossing blend is only the beginning. 🍽️🎯
Curious about the new combat toys? Look out for destructive sticky bombs, new traps to set, and mechanically weaponize your mount for an artillery edge on the move! 🐎💣
