Guerrilla Games says the project remains early in development and is actively using public playtests to gather feedback and iterate.

Horizon Hunters Gathering will enter a second playtest from May 22 to May 25 on PS5 and PC, adding new content including new heroes, a new region, and a new story mission while bringing back two existing game modes and three returning playable characters.

The update adds harder challenge options for Machine Incursion with Hard and Merciless modes, and Cauldron Descent gains a new region plus a Training Module to help onboarding.

Improvements to content from the first test will be implemented based on player feedback, though specifics haven’t been disclosed yet.

The studio emphasizes testing and feedback as core to shaping the game, even as some skepticism about its ultimate prospects lingers.

The playtest is designed to collect feedback to refine multiplayer mechanics and balance before final release.

No official release date yet, but the game will continue with confirmed features and ongoing playtesting as part of its development roadmap.

Access to the test is limited, with most players not expected to participate in this round.

Players are encouraged to share feedback in the article’s comments and on the Insider Gaming Discord server.

PlayStation Blog outlines expectations that feedback from the first test will be implemented and revealed later.

Horizon Hunters Gathering is a multiplayer, three-player title set in the Horizon universe with vibrant visuals and tactical, skill-based combat, and no release date yet.

The game differentiates itself by adopting a mission-based, three-player co-op pace rather than the single-player open-world format of previous Horizon titles.
