Insomniac Games was recently hacked by a Ransomware group, resulting in a massive leak of images, documents, and more details about Insomniac and its projects. While mainly everything has been leaked about Insomniac, including several upcoming games, another Sony studio has been caught in the crossfire.
The name of the upcoming Horizon multiplayer game from Guerrilla Games has been leaked. The game has been in development for a while now, and there has not been any information regarding it. However, this new leak hints that Insomniac Games might be involved.
Guerrilla’s Horizon Multiplayer Project Title Has Been Leaked
The leaked documents contain a huge number of files, and one of those files includes an image of Guerrilla Games and shows its founding years, employees, and current projects. The current projects mention the title “Hunter’s Gathering,” and it is assumed that this is the title for the developer’s Horizon multiplayer project, which is currently under development.
The leaked image also mentioned outsourcing the developer’s last projects, including the outsourcing budget for Horizon: Forbidden West and Burning Shores DLC expansion. Although the game is in development right now, Hunter’s Gathering could be a codename or just a concept name, and it might be changed when it’s time to announce the release date of the game.
Since this leak comes from the Insomniac Games hack, it means that the developer is somehow involved in the development of the game and is helping Guerrilla Games, and given how the outsourcing budget mentions the previous title and DLC, it seems credible. However, the title of the game does not seem to impress many, and there could be a title change during the development.
Guerrilla Games announced in December last year that it is working on a multiplayer spinoff of the award-winning Horizon franchise and revealed it at The Game Awards 2022. The multiplayer game will allow players to experience the universe together in an exciting way. The game is an AAA role-playing title and will use the same technology as in the singer-player games.
This means that players could see a similar world and quest system as seen in the single-player games and introduce new characters. There is a scarcity of details about the game, and this title leak is only something new that the players have gotten to hear about the game. Earlier this year, a leak surfaced online revealing the concept art and in-development video footage of the game.
The video footage showed players exploring barren land and fighting mechanical enemies, and it was similar to alpha footage from 2022. The leaked post was taken down soon, which convinced players that it was indeed real and they could get to see something like that in the game. A few job postings were also spotted, and speculation ensued. However, no other details have been revealed officially.
Moreover, the leaked documents also mentioned a canceled Spider-Man multiplayer project from Insomniac. The game was an action-adventure title called Spider-Man: The Great Web and was compared to GTA Online. Since it was looking to develop an online game, it is also possible that Guerrilla was supposed to help Insomniac in the development of the project, but it never materialized.
Insomniac’s leak revealed major upcoming projects from the developer, including several unannounced games with their potential release windows, including Marvel’s Venom, Marvel’s Spider-Man 3, a new Ratchet & Clank game, Marvel’s X-Men title, and a new IP. The leaked roadmap is dated July 2023, with Marvel’s Venom due in FY 2025, Marvel’s Spiderman 3 in FY 2028, Ratchet & Clank in FY 2029, Marvel’s X-Men in FY 2030, and the new IP in FY 2031/2032.
