NCSOFT presented its upcoming game Horizon Steel Frontiers at a recent industry event, confirming a release window targeting late 2026 or early 2027. The developer plans to initiate public testing for the title next year. Previously known as Project Skyline, the game will emphasize player versus environment cooperation.
The company clarified its extensive use of artificial intelligence in the game's production. An NCSOFT representative explained that AI assists with internal development processes, including coding, art creation, and aspects of basic NPC behavior and combat. The team behind Horizon Steel Frontiers was noted for its particular eagerness to adopt these technologies, with the expectation that future games will integrate AI even more heavily.
In related news, Guerrilla Games is separately developing a cooperative multiplayer project set within the same franchise. This confirmation came from journalist Jason Schreier.
