  Yes, let’s have the sequel to 2 single player RPGs be an mmo, that will make the fans happy

    Most the successful MMOs are similar to that. Warcraft, final fantasy, elder scrolls, swtor…

    But it worked so well with the multiplayer shooter Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League by Rocksteady Studios! /s

    I know it’s not an MMO but there’s parallels there

    I love the Horizon games (didn’t play the Lego version though) and it’s similar to the Batman games but don’t have any interest in an MMO or Live Action Shooter for them.

    I vaguely remember The Matrix had an MMO that apparently evolved the lore in some crazy ways. And I’m going to guess they abandoned that for the new one.

    To be fair, it was envisioned as multiplayer from the start, then dialed down and “settling” with HZD, then tried again before HFW and into the one with the 3D headset (mountain call or something?) and they kept saying they’d get to that original plan eventually. Does the Lego Horizon game have any of it? I want to believe the success of HZD and HFW as single-player helped them give that up in the end.

  An MMO, in this economy?

  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.

  Sony had like 10 subscription/ live service games in the pipe when Concord flopped. All canceled now.

  Evey games developer want’s a fortnite but they can’t understand that multiple games designed to maximize player investment and dominate their time can’t coexist.

    Well they don’t need them to coexist, they need just one of them to succeed.
