A recent Guerrilla Games job posting hints at the studio's confidence in its upcoming Horizon multiplayer game. While unannounced, the listing suggests Guerrilla expects significant player interest in this live-service title.
Since Horizon Forbidden West's 2022 release and its Burning Shores DLC in 2023, Guerrilla's announcements have been limited to collaborations on projects like Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered and LEGO Horizon Adventures. However, evidence suggesting a Horizon multiplayer game has existed for years. Job listings dating back to 2018 alluded to this project, and its existence in 2025 remains almost certain.
While the official announcement date remains unclear, a new job posting for a Senior Platform Engineer reveals potentially ambitious player count expectations. The requirements mention "proven experience building and operating multi-service, 1M+ user globally distributed systems across multiple public cloud providers," suggesting a live-service infrastructure designed for over one million players.
This could also be a proactive step to prevent the server issues that plagued Helldivers 2 at launch. The game's unexpected popularity overwhelmed its servers for weeks, hindering both new and existing players. To avoid a similar situation, Guerrilla is likely preparing for a potentially large player base, regardless of whether the Horizon multiplayer game achieves the same level of success as Helldivers 2.
The Horizon multiplayer game has been in development for several years. Assuming no major setbacks, a reveal this year seems plausible. A previous Guerrilla job listing hinted at a new Horizon game release in 2025. Given a third mainline Horizon title is still some time away, this 2025 release could very well be the multiplayer project.
