Guerrilla Games Keeps Hiring Witcher 3 Veterans for its Rumored PS4 Open World RPG

Guerrilla games has been working on a PS4 game, rumored to be an open world RPG code named Horizons, and the studio seems to be indeed seeking experts in that field.

Back in February, it hired CD Projekt RED’s Lead Cinematic Artist Pawel Swierczynski and Quest Designer Dennis Zoetebier, and today it was discovered that they just hired Senior Technical Designer Shadi Dadenji this month.

"John Gonzales (Lead Writer for Fallout: New Vegas) is working on this."

What...SOLD!!!!!!

Rimeskeem3291d ago

indeed, this is going to be a "big" game

thejigisup3291d ago

They have a seriously stacked team, can't wait to see what they're cooking up

dreamoner3291d ago

Don't know what it is but want it on PC! but damn it these guys look like PS exclusive devs

And that partly explains the partly lack of talent in Obsidian games lately.

MadLad3291d ago

@Dreamoner

Lack of quality in Obsidian games lately? They've finally been given a real development cycle, and they produced two of the highest rated games of their respective years.

Get off of it.

dreamoner3291d ago

@SlapHappyJesus

Well I said partly and I said games but was thinking about only Pillars of Eternity which is problem free most of the time which is new to Obsidian but it's writing is dry and story is too slow paced. If New Vegas' writing is 9/10 I'd give 7/10 to Pillars. Which came as a surprise to me, cos before PoE came out I could doubt every feature in an upcoming obsidian game but not the writing.

Gazondaily3291d ago

Those guys plus GG's visual talents could potentially make for one of the best games of this gen. My bowdeh is not readeh

StormLegend3291d ago

@ the guys above prasing Halo.

Get out of here with that Garbage, Same lame FPS every year.

Can't believe people buy an Xb1 for Halo.

Gazondaily3290d ago

@Travis

Can't believe 15 people agreed with your comment lol. Sour grapes I guess.

generic-user-name3291d ago

This could be a dark horse for best game of show.

The Killzone series has always had good lore, the only problem is that it was mostly absent from the game, with these guys + the talent of GG (even visuals alone) they could be able to achieve something special.

bloop3291d ago

I never liked the lore of killzone. I don't know what it was, but it just didn't click with me. I thought the Helghast were unimaginative, the story was meh and none of the main characters were memorable. But besides that I still actually enjoyed the games!! GG are awesome devs and I've been waiting for them to step away from KZ and work on something new. I can't wait to see what they come up with.

jonny2by43291d ago (Edited 3291d ago )

Good background, he could add a lot to an already talented team.

kraenk123291d ago

I just hope they get back to CDP Red for Cyberpunk 2077!

Guerrilla Games' Multiplayer Horizon Game Could Be Named "Hunters Gathering," Teases Leak

Guerrilla Games' upcoming multiplayer Horizon title could be dubbed "Hunters Gathering," according to a new leak.

Jin_Sakai180d ago (Edited 180d ago )

I wish PlayStation Studios would just stick to what they do best, making great single player games.

Outside_ofthe_Box179d ago

The core gameplay of Horizon is really good, so this is one of the few I can see working out. Also GG does have one of the greatest multiplayer games ever made in Killzone 2 under their belt so MP isn't too far off with what GG does best.

SyntheticForm179d ago

Hell, I enjoyed Shadowfall's MP thoroughly even though it had issues. Guerrilla have delivered solid multiplayer experiences.

Cacabunga179d ago

Oh boy. No idea why they don't want to work on a killzone it's a much more fun multi mode. -

__SteakDeck__179d ago

@Jin_Sakai First. As a business, you don’t just stick to what you do great. If that was the case, Apple would of just done computers and not taken a risk with iTunes and the iPhone. Also have you seen the cost of their AAA games like Spiderman 2? Sony is going to need one of these GAAS games to hit, or expect budget cuts to their SP games. We’re already seeing in the document leak, that they’re asking Insomniac to cut budgets.

Jin_Sakai178d ago

Their studios aren’t masters at GaaS and it’s showing. Naughty Dog wasted all that time and Resources just to cancel Factions and Insomniac's multiplayer Spider-Verse got axed. If Sony really wants a big GaaS hit their best bet would be to acquire EA or Epic Games. You need huge support to keep these games going with content and updates.

purple101180d ago (Edited 180d ago )

OHH GOD YES,, or at least some new shooter. finals was okay but I want more, spesh from 1st party

DaleCooper179d ago

Meh. You know what could be good? A new Killzone.

Magatsuhi179d ago

Hope it's not battle royale.

anast179d ago

It would be better than Monster Hunter, but I'm good with the Gaas stuff.

Up there with the top tier in the industry. Love Guerrilla Games - Horizon Burning Shores is simply STUNNING.

1Victor405d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar405d ago

Same. They nailed it with Horizon. The trouble is I also want a new Killzone! Can't I just have it all?!

jznrpg404d ago

I’m with you I want Horizon 3 , Killzone and new IPs

badz149404d ago

I have yet to play Burning Shores as I just started Forbidden West (bought at launch, just unwrapped last weekend LOL) and playing on PS5.

man...I still can't believe the graphics especially now I'm playing it on my LG OLED. that graphics and with stable performance backing it up, GG really is the master of their craft!

Vengeance1138405d ago

32.7M sales in the Horizon franchise! With 8.4M coming from Forbidden West alone! Truly a hugely successful game and franchise as a whole. Looking forward to Horizon III

Shane Kim405d ago

That's kind of a huge drop though. It's only been two games.

VersusDMC405d ago

One year after realease HZD sold 7.6 million.

https://www.noobfeed.com/ne...

So not a drop off.

Unless you're saying a HFW should have sold as much now as HZD sold in 5 years?

Vengeance1138404d ago

It's been 3 games, this includes Call of the Mountain. Also no, its a great improvement over HZD.

solideagle404d ago

lol you are comparing:

HZD: 28 February 2017 - May 2023 (6 years+)

HFW: 18 February 2022 - May 2023 (1 year+)

We will see if it surpass original number.

Phoenix76404d ago

@shane, 2 full main games, 2 DLC add ons, 1 VR spin off game, oh and a an official LEGO set.
Not too bad for an ip that's only been on market for 6 years

REDGUM404d ago

Wow, very impressive. I didn't know the numbers were so high for Forbidden West. Still playing through it myself

thesoftware730405d ago (Edited 405d ago )

Yooo, when I first saw that Killzone 1 footage at E3, my friends my brothers and I were like, Holy shit! When it came out, it didn't look exactly like it, but we sunk so many hours into 1 & 2.

I even liked Killzone: SF, it was a spectacle to look at, and even today it looks good. I hope they make a new one. Can you imagine how that will look, and they can get some modern FPS pointers from Bungie.

blacktiger404d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca405d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

The Decima Engine is absolute 🔥 I'm just mad they have abandoned Killzone.

OzzY-waZZy405d ago (Edited 405d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal404d ago

They are probably working on mutiple projects. One of them is Horizon 3, but another is a multiplaer game and probably somehting else.

Imalwaysright404d ago

There were rumours that they were working on a Socom reboot.
