Adrian has been writing, critiquing, and thinking about games since he first picked up an N64 controller many years ago. These days he writes reviews, news, and features for Game Rant and believes games should be held to the same artistic standards as books, movies, and television shows. When he’s not writing for Game Rant, Adrian writes even more reviews for Sirus Gaming and likes to get nerdy about tech and retro games at HackerNoon. Outside the gaming world, he spends plenty of time enjoying movies or listening to every genre of music under the sun.

The Horizon franchise has its next big release right around the corner, as NCSoft has announced that Horizon: Steel Frontiers is coming in the first half of 2027. NCSoft’s MMORPG spin on the Horizon franchise has been kept under wraps since its reveal, while fans still await news of a potential third mainline entry to the series.
Some PS5 Gamers Will Get to Play the Next Horizon Game This Weekend
The next game in the Horizon series may not have an official release date yet, but players can check it out over the weekend.
While the release date for Horizon Steel Frontiers hasn’t been officially disclosed yet, NCSoft has indicated that the upcoming MMORPG will launch in the first half of 2027, as noted in its May 2026 Investor Relations presentation. Steel Frontiers leads the studio’s 2027 portfolio, with DEFECT and Astrae Oratio in the same release window, but no other information regarding the MMO has been disclosed. Steel Frontiers is slated only for PC and mobile releases next year; however, if it becomes a huge hit, the game could likely come to PS5 at some point in the future. NCSoft just has to break through a tough live-service crowd that has only gotten tougher over the past few years.
