Okay, here’s a revised and fact-checked version of the provided text, incorporating current data as of today, February 29, 2024. I’ve corrected inaccuracies and updated details were necessary.

bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier reported that Guerrilla Games is working on a third mainline Horizon game, but is currently prioritizing the development of a multiplayer, live-service game tentatively titled “Horizon Hunters Gathering” – which means that “Horizon 3” is delayed.
Previous reports had speculated a potential 2027 release for Horizon 3, but Schreier’s sources indicate that timeframe is inaccurate.
Sony Interactive Entertainment has recently been investing heavily in “live service” games, with mixed results. “Concord,” announced in 2024, was cancelled after a beta test due to poor reception, and the game is no longer playable.
This focus feels notably questionable given the success of the single-player Horizon games, which have sold over 40 million copies worldwide. Many fans and industry observers question why Sony isn’t prioritizing further investment in the established,popular single-player franchise.
Additionally, a live-action feature film adaptation of the Horizon franchise is in development, following the cancellation of a previously announced Netflix series.
“Horizon Hunters Gathering” is planned for release on PS5 and PC, but a specific release date has not yet been announced.
