The Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden West developer Guerilla Games may be working on an open-world RPG featuring co-op multiplayer, according to a new job listing that has been discovered today.
As reported on the ResetERA forums, Guerilla Games is looking to hire a Senior Social Systems Designer to work on a guild-like system that will allow players to team up and explore together. This Senior Social Systems Designer also needs to possess detailed knowledge of narrative design in open-world RPGs.
As Horizon Forbidden West is going to be a single-player experience, and it’s now very close to release, it is unlikely that Guerilla Games is working on a multiplayer mode for their soon to be released game, although it is still possible the game may receive a multiplayer mode after launch, as it happened for Sucker Punch’s Ghost of Tsushima. There’s also the chance that the studio is working on a Horizon series spin-off focused on multiplayer, which would probably work quite well, given the series’ interesting setting and lore.
Horizon Forbidden West is Guerilla Games’ next title. The game was originally scheduled for a 2021 release, but the game has been delayed to February 2022 to ensure the level of quality the developer strives for.
Horizon Forbidden West launches on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 on February 18th, 2022 worldwide.
