Sony reworks Horizon Hunters Gathering, drops live-service plan for co‑op story

Sony is reworking Horizon Hunters Gathering after private testing generated poor feedback. Guerrilla Games has been rebooting the project since June and is removing the original live‑service design. The studio plans to relaunch the game as a smaller co‑op multiplayer experience with a dedicated story mode. The change represents another setback for PlayStation’s push into live‑service gaming.

• Guerrilla Games began a reboot of Horizon Hunters Gathering in June.
• Private multiplayer tests produced poor feedback that prompted the redesign.
• The project is shifting away from a live‑service structure toward a smaller co‑op multiplayer format with a story mode.
• The redesign counts as another setback for PlayStation’s broader live‑service strategy.
