An MMO based on Sony's Horizon IP has reportedly been cancelled.

Horizon the robot dinosaur game, not Forza Horizon the racing game in case anyone was confused like me.

According to the news, it’s one of several live service games cancelled by Sony.

Concord spooked them very much.

At least someone at Sony saw some reason.

I can’t think of any human being who wanted a live service Horizon and God of War.

I can actually see Horizon working really well as an MMO. It’s already open world, fetch quest-centered with city quest hubs and such. Yeah, you won’t be that one main character, but you could be out there killing robot dinosaurs with friends.

Yeah, that’s a fair point, actually.

At least two major MMOs have the player being the “main” character, FF14 and WoW both treat the player character (and their friends) as the “hero” (and their party). I’m sure others do the same, but honestly I never get far enough into them to find out.

You’d almost certainly not be Aloy, but that doesn’t mean you’re not the main protagonist of the story in the game.
