An MMO based on Sony’s Horizon IP has reportedly been cancelled.
We first got wind of a Horizon MMO in 2022, when a report stated the project was in the works at Guild Wars’ NCSoft. At this time, a source familiar with both Sony and NCsoft said the two companies had “tentatively agreed to pursue a business partnership in which [NCsoft] will create new games using Sony’s promising game IP”.
A year later in 2023, Sony and NCsoft publicly announced a strategic partnership, designed to “expand beyond console and broaden PlayStation’s reach to a wider audience”. While neither company referenced Horizon as part of the announcement, it was widely believed the series was a key part of the collaboration.

Since then we’ve heard little more, other than job listings shared in 2023 which appeared to confirm the Horizon MMO was in development with the codename Project Skyline (with the initial codename being Project H). And now, it appears the MMO has been cancelled before it was even officially announced.
