The fact that a multiplayer game in the universe of the license Horizon is in development is no longer a secret since Guerrilla Games multiplies the calls of the foot to the artist of the industry to come to work on the project. Still, the latter still remained very mysterious to us, at least until he was leaked with no less than twelve minutes of video from an alpha and revealing key art.
Cartoon-style skyline?
Obviously, you will not find this video in our article since Sony hastened to scratch all traces of it on social networks. It’s the same for key art, which gets hit all the time as soon as it points the end of one of its pixels. However, the internet never forgets and anyone who saw all of this before Sony got involved can tell us everything that leaked.
Tom Henderson was one of the first on the case and tells us that this Horizon multiplayer game would adopt a very surprising artistic direction for the saga, with a more cartoonish style. The shortcut with Fortnite is quickly established, even if the insider also evokes a bit of Pixar in the chara-design. The fights, on the other hand, remain very similar, except that everything is oriented towards cooperation with some elements of survival, in a world described as being more restricted. than that of the two games Horizon.
The video presenting an alpha build seems to be quite old and is obviously not representative of the final game. We will therefore have to wait for Guerrilla Games to officially lift the veil on its game to be sure of the direction taken by this spin-off.
