Guerrilla Games has quietly added a playtest for Horizon Hunters Gathering to the same weekend many players were already gearing up for Bungie’s Marathon server slam. The new test gives folks another chance to try an upcoming live-service take on the Horizon universe during the Feb 26–Mar 2 period.

  • Playtest timing: Horizon Hunters Gathering’s trial will run alongside Bungie’s Marathon server slam, which is scheduled for February 26 to March 2.
  • What it is: Horizon Hunters Gathering is a recently announced live-service spin-off from Guerrilla Games, expanding the Horizon franchise into ongoing multiplayer territory.
  • Who it’s for: The session looks aimed at people who want to preview new online content without waiting for a full launch—offering an alternative play opportunity during a busy weekend for game tests.
  • Why it matters: Multiple major playtests at once underline how studios are using weekend events to stress-test servers and gather feedback ahead of full releases.
