Horizon is spreading its wings with a full-scale MMO RPG action game, with the caveat that it will only appear on mobile devices and PCs.
Yes, Horizon Steel Frontiers will not be released on PS5, much to the disappointment of fans.
More than anything else, this seems to be the biggest die you can pick in this game; why is it skipping PS5?
Developer NCSOFT has given us some sort of answer and it looks like it’s all up to Sony.
In an interview with 4Playerthe development team is asked about Steel Frontiers not being released on PS5. Here is the answer via Google Translate:
This was the most common answer today. NCSOFT has no reason not to do this, so we would love to do it, but since we cannot decide it ourselves, we would like to continue discussions.
In other words, NCSOFT has heard all the feedback about the lack of a PS5 version and would actually like to produce a game for Sony’s current-gen console.
However, unless they get full assurance from SIE, none of this will happen.
We will most likely see Horizon Steel Frontiers launch on mobile devices and PC, and if the game is popular enough, it will be ported to PS5 in the future.
