What do u mean by that. This all but guarantees ps5 ports of project LLL the next blade and strength the possibility of the horizon mmo being real.

Ncsoft is a lot more than guild wars. They have some exciting stuff in development.

Eh, I mean if next name is a big Japanese publisher could be great. They got Kadw and CyNct under partnertship.

Horizon mobile game. Good move but I'm not the target audience.

 

[Entropi]

Ok, I guess.

 

[Dabaus]

Instead og going out and acquiring random mobile companies, partnering with established ones makes sense. Would be nice to see sony partner with companies for PS5 though.

There's been rumours of a Horizon MMO from NCSoft for about a year now so that pretty much validates that and will more than likely be on PS5 for those saying it has nothing to do with consoles

Do they make anything besides mmorpgs or mobile games? Coz I am into either of those two

Would not surprise me if they have a Mobile and PC port of it also so they can aim for a wider audience like genshin impact

 

[Snes nes]

Idk what this is but it sounds exciting I guess.

An Horizon Online game should have happened In 2017 but better late than never. Let's hope the quality control will be there.

Shift up, ncsoft and next I’m hoping is pearl Abyss. Locking crimson desert as a console exclusive will really make some ppl cry.

You know Sony execs still biting their lips because they didn't invest a decent chunks into Genshin developers few years ago.

Yeah those are my thought as well with full cross play.

Lmao. This guy. PlayStation should sell more than any other console ever in France at a minimum, and Horizon should've had an MMO upon release, before the IP was well-known. What totally reasonable expectations you have.

Glad you're not in charge of any business whatsoever.

 

[KnittedKnight]

Nothing wrong with Mobile. It's business.
