Sony has confirmed a new cooperative entry in the Horizon line-up called Horizon Hunters Gathering, putting squads of up to three players into the roles of premade hunters. Early community reaction is split: some players are intrigued by the team-focused change of pace, while others are cautious about reduced character freedom compared to previous entries.

  • Premade hunters: The game features distinct, ready-made characters, each armed with unique weapons and abilities — a departure from deep player-driven customization and loadout choices.
  • Three-player co-op: Play is built around small-team cooperation, encouraging coordinated tactics and role synergy rather than lone-wolf exploration.
  • Long-rumoured reveal: The announcement follows years of leaks and chatter, so while many fans expected something, the official confirmation still generated fresh debate.
  • Community split: Poll responses show enthusiasm from players who like cooperative shooters and streamlined roles, but there’s clear concern among fans who prefer the series’ traditional solo-focused design and deeper personalization.
  • Questions remain: With limited details announced so far, the audience is eager for information on progression systems, matchmaking, post-launch support and how the spin-off will connect to the wider franchise.
