《红霞岛》联合开发商和索尼合作开发《地平线》系列

《红霞岛》《霍格沃茨之遗》背后的联合开发商Gobo宣布他们将和索尼旗下工作室Guerrilla Games合作，共同开发《地平线》系列游戏。

这家位于英国的开发商日前正在招募人手，官推上写道：“我们很高兴地宣布Gobo工作室现在是Guerrilla在《地平线》宇宙上的联合开发伙伴，我们现在正在招募人手。”

Gobo曾参与过多个3A游戏的协助开发工作，包括《红霞岛》《霍格沃茨之遗》《迪士尼无限》《荣耀战魂》等。

Guerrilla工作室去年12月宣布计划使用一个在线合作游戏来拓展《地平线》宇宙，该合作游戏将有新的角色和独特的视觉风格。同时Guerrilla也表示，他们会继续开发以系列主角Aloy为核心的“史诗单人冒险游戏”。

Studio Gobo has announced that it’s partnered with Guerrilla Games to work as a co-developer on Sony’s Horizon franchise. The Brighton and Hove, UK-based studio is currently recruiting staff to work on its Horizon team, as well as other projects. “We’re thrilled to share that Studio Gobo is now a Guerrilla co-development partner on the Horizon universe,” it said on Thursday. According to its website, Gobo has also worked as a co-developer on Redfall, Hogwarts Legacy, Disney Infinity and For Honor, among other games. The directors of the company, which has over 110 employees, originally co-founded and ran Black Rock Studio, the outfit behind racing games Pure and Split/Second. Guerrilla revealed in December that it was planning to “expand the world of Horizon” with an online co-op project “featuring a new cast of characters and a unique stylized look”. At the same time, it said it would continue to make “epic solo adventures” starring series protagonist Aloy. The franchise launched in 2017 with Horizon Zero Dawn and its sequel Horizon Forbidden West followed in 2022. Prior to the sequel’s announcement, VGC exclusively reported that Sony was planning a trilogy of Horizon games. Horizon Call of the Mountain will be a PlayStation VR2 launch title in February 2023, and Horizon Forbidden West‘s first expansion, Burning Shores, will be released in April. A Horizon Zero Dawn remaster for PS5 is also reportedly in development, while it’s been claimed that Lineage and Guild Wars studio NCSoft has struck a deal with Sony to make a Horizon MMORPG. Sony is also working with Netflix on a TV adaptation of Horizon.
