Regardless of leaking round 12 hours sooner than anticipated, Horizon Metal Frontiers’ announcement trailer has now topped 2.5 million views on YouTube, three days after it debuted. In the meantime, its gameplay trailer has managed an additional 217k views.
We count on a few of these views have been generated by pre-roll adverts, nevertheless it’s nonetheless a powerful debut from the NCSOFT effort, which is able to launch at first on cellular, in addition to on PC through the South Korean firm’s proprietary Purple emulator.
Whereas the feedback are largely detrimental – largely criticising “predatory” monetisation mechanics which haven’t even been introduced but, in addition to the dearth of a PS5 model – the estimated Like/Dislike meter proven utilizing Google Chrome’s extension leans extra constructive general.
Finally, we expect Sony made a mistake by not saying Guerrilla’s personal presumably PS5-bound multiplayer effort alongside this.
Clearly there’s a sentiment amongst PlayStation’s most hardcore gamers that they’re being ignored right here, however we have now to think about there’s technique within the insanity, and that NCSOFT’s personal sport will sit snugly alongside regardless of the Amsterdam studio is additionally engaged on.
Both method, the South Korean dev has indicated it’s in bringing Horizon Metal Frontiers to the console, and with cellular video games like Genshin Influence and Honkai: Star Rail proving already vastly well-liked on the platform, we wouldn’t be stunned if it ended up getting the inexperienced gentle.
However the important thing factor for this undertaking is clearly reaching a beforehand untapped viewers, and looking out on the trailer engagement, it’s already off to a very good begin. This shall be a undertaking to keep watch over for positive.
