"According to a report from news site MTN, Sony is teaming up with Korean gaming company NCSoft to make a Horizon MMORPG.

As of now, NCSoft is recruiting developers for the title that’s codenamed Project H in job ads."
If real, I think this is one of these Sony games that could be released day one on PC (plus PS and probably even mobile too). It also sounds like a good way to bring Horizon to GaaS and appeal PC and mobile players specially from Asia, while leaving the main PS Studios teams focusing on making new games for PS5 (and then having other minor PS Studios teams porting a few of them to PC per year).
NCSoft is the Korean company behind MMORPG hits for PC and mobile like the Guild Wars, Lineage, Blade & Soul or Aion series. It has 3100 employees, makes a yearly revenue of around $2B (around top 15-top 25 biggest gaming revenue company) and has a market cap of around $6.6B. One of their subsidiaries, the American Arenanet, is the one that developed Guild Wars.
