Two Former Ubisoft Employees (MP experience) Join Guerrilla Games
- Thread starter DriftingSpirit
- Start date
KZ4 in the molds of KZ2, the GOAT. Can even go back to the earlier days of the UCN and ISA, KZ lore is very expansive and interesting, hell have the Helghans as protagonists, they are anyway.
Looks like the reconstruction of the new place took longer than accepted then, when they announced the move they expected to move into the new space in early 2019.

GG is definitely developing two games. No way is Guerrilla expanding to 400 employees just for Horizon.
Killzone may or may not he dead, but they are definitely making two games.

Why not? Next-gen games are going to need more resources.
Not double the staff. If that was true then why aren't all of their studios expanding at an exponential rate?
For a next gen open world game, 400 developers sounds about right. Definitely not enough for two AAA projects that's for sure.
Oh really? How is Playground games managing it then? 200 employees is plenty for an AAA game. Both Bend and Sucker Punch are smaller than that.
Outsourcing or very long dev cycles I imagine, not too sure on their situation.
As for Bend and Sucker Punch, their games are current gen and have been in development for 5+years. Guerilla have explicitly said the point of the expansion was to reduce dev times to 3ish years.
300 -> 450 isn't double :p
And yes, other studios are expanding or will be expanding eventually. It's inevitable.
That's what makes the most sense to me tbh. Local 2 player coop and online 4 player coop hunting.
Maybe some kind of guild warfare/ competition too.
I'm sure they are people of various expertise and prestige. But yes I do believe there were several other high-profile people that have joined Guerrilla.
Yeah, Killzone's multiplayer is underrated.
Would love to get some type of co-op/multiplayer in Horizon 2. Doesn't have to be in the main campaign (though I'd be fine with that), but a horde/survival mode, hunting mode, etc. would be great.
The Horizon world easily lends itself to a MP mode, from a Monster Hunter-type game to arena-style combat to raids, without compromising a SP game - in fact it could lead to some awesome story integration and ad hoc co-op play modes.
But yeah, MP fans are right to be excited about this I reckon.

Horizon co-op mode could be mazing. As long as it doesn't take anything away from the single player(which is what matters the most) I'm all for it.
Horizon's lore & character/clothing lend it self well to a multiplayer game too - the identity & belief systems, the headpieces, stuff like the super armour...
Guerrilla has been hiring a bunch of very high end multiplayer staff, and giving them very senior roles, suggesting they're making a multiplayer game again.
This is reinforced by them asking for multiplayer experience in new job postings.
Horizon 2 HAS to have multiplayer, I imagine. I bet this will be like Uncharted 2 MP where people didn't want it, but then it turned out really great.
Or it could be a new Killzone (doubt it, considering HZD is their most successful game ever). Or a new IP.

Horizon could take a Monster Hunter approach- and in fact, I wouldn't mind that because the setting is ripe for something like that. However, that would require a huge amount of resources and time, and I doubt that's something that Guerilla could make in just a few years.
Thanks.
Are they back working on Killzone ? That would be disappointing. No offense to Killzone fans, but I think people are expecting more a Horizon sequel.
I really think it is another game. A FPS. It's a hole in WWS portfolio that they want to fill. That doesn't mean Horizon won't have some type of MP, but seriously doubt they are hiring away Siege staff for what most will probably consider tacked on mode.
Their job postings definitely imply they're making Horizon 2.
The question is more so if they're just making multiplayer for Horizon 2, or are developing a standalone multiplayer product in addition to it.
I would rather have Knack and Knack 2 remastered as launch games.
I think a Killzone reboot is in full production development to be ready for next gen launch while Horizon 2 is in pre production by small team. Both PS3 and PS4 had 1st party FPS games at launch so PS5 seems to follow the same
