By So it’s up to Sony, then?
Horizon is expanding its reach with a full-fledged MMO action RPG, with the stipulation that it will only be available on mobile and PC.
Indeed, Horizon Steel Frontiers will not be launched on PS5, to the dismay of enthusiasts.
Above all, this seems to be the primary concern regarding this title; why is it bypassing PS5?
The developer NCSOFT has now provided some form of clarification, and it appears to be tied to Sony.
In a conversation with 4Gamer, the team was questioned about the absence of a PS5 version for Steel Frontiers. Here’s their reaction, via Google Translate:
This was the most prevalent reply today. NCSOFT sees no reason not to proceed, so we would be eager to do it, but as it’s not a decision we can make independently, we wish to keep the discussions ongoing.
Thus, in simpler terms, NCSOFT is aware of all the input regarding the lack of a PS5 edition, and actually wishes to develop the game for Sony’s current-gen console.
Nonetheless, unless they obtain the green light from SIE, it won’t come to fruition.
Most likely, we will witness Horizon Steel Frontiers debuting on mobile and PC, and should it gain enough popularity, being adapted for PS5 eventually.
