Guerrilla Games has high expectations for its upcoming Horizon multiplayer game, which is reportedly in development. Although the project has not been officially unveiled, a job posting from the studio reveals ambitious plans for an infrastructure capable of supporting over 1 million online players.
The job listing for a Senior Platform Engineer specifies the need to build a platform that can accommodate this scale. While the game itself is not explicitly mentioned, it is believed to be the multiplayer title set in the Horizon universe. This project is expected to be part of PlayStation Studios’ ongoing live service initiatives and represents a new approach to the world of Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden West in a multiplayer online setting.
The position highlights the need for an experienced candidate capable of working on a large-scale online platform. The job description includes preparing for massive user loads, ensuring stability on distributed systems across multiple cloud providers. This cautious approach aims to prevent issues often seen during major game launches.
For instance, underestimating user demand has caused launch-day problems for other games, such as Helldivers 2. By planning for significant player numbers, Guerrilla appears to be taking proactive steps to deliver a seamless online experience for this ambitious Horizon multiplayer project.
