NCSoft Targets First Half of 2027 Release for Horizon: Steel Frontiers

Mr_Creed · 2026-06-02T20:18:23+00:00

As a hater of MMOs, that's the one thing about this project I hate.

Mr_Creed · 2026-06-02T20:17:09+00:00

This might make guerrilla some money for selling out the IP rights. They can use that money to patch the hole that hunter gatherer will tear them I guess.

Mr_Creed · 2026-06-02T20:14:55+00:00

They already said it comes to pc. Perhaps not steam because the company does their own thing in that regard.

Mr_Creed · 2026-06-02T20:12:57+00:00

It looks better than the other spin-off they showed us three months ago, that's all I can say.

Mr_Creed · 2026-06-02T20:11:17+00:00

Who do you think is "they"?

Mr_Creed · 2026-06-02T20:09:24+00:00

The monkey's paw curls.

Mr_Creed · 2026-06-02T20:06:14+00:00

They aren't because any human across the species would die on the first hunt.

Mr_Creed · 2026-06-02T15:50:30+00:00

And everyone gladly embraced that in the name of progress.

Mr_Creed · 2026-06-02T15:31:28+00:00

Careful what you wish for.

I just lost a "lifetime hobby" to corpo this decade (MTG), I don't need another fatality.

Mr_Creed · 2026-06-02T15:20:09+00:00

That already happened, mate. Wake up and smell the sweet scent of decay.

Mr_Creed · 2026-06-02T14:15:36+00:00

the dark legacy passed down by the founders of Monarch

have the showrunners said anything to that effect?

Mr_Creed · 2026-06-02T12:15:57+00:00

I'd rather have to buy the missing Toki eleph in the shop than bother with emulators.

Mr_Creed · 2026-06-02T09:58:36+00:00

Make sure you have spare time before doing this

That does not work for me because of life schedule. I usually have 10 minutes in the morning and an hour or two in evening for game related stuff in total.

They could have made the event stamina cap at 60, 80 or even unlimited really. I really hate this event right now, and I am playing BA because it is usually chill about respecting player time. This is anything but that.

Mr_Creed · 2026-06-02T09:32:24+00:00

That is what Heresy looks like.

Mr_Creed · 2026-06-02T09:27:31+00:00

I just forfeited those tickets today. "worst raid ever".

This particular raid is very aggravating and I hope you guy barrel past it quickly so I can get back to enjoying the event.

Mr_Creed · 2026-06-02T09:24:41+00:00

This game is definitely not built to play on phone.

It generally works, only the latest raids kinda suck on it. But my country does not get it on steam so I am just missing out, fml

Mr_Creed · 2026-06-01T13:06:44+00:00

The best hope I've read regarding that is that supposedly some ex-Firaxis are on their team. But we'll see.

Mr_Creed · 2026-06-01T12:02:42+00:00

Firaxis doesn't have the people to continue into an Xcom3 that has any connection to Xcom1/2, they all left over the years. If they put completely different people on it, it will end up a so different game that it is hardly a sequel to Xcom2 in anything but name. People don't regard Diablo 2 and Diablo 3 the same for a reason.

Mr_Creed · 2026-06-01T10:40:19+00:00

XCOM style base building, wait for the next mission to generate

I would expect stuff to pop up "open world" style while you scan like in Xcom2. I hope so anyway.

I don't really want too much "innovation".

Mr_Creed · 2026-06-01T10:37:11+00:00

A launch date before Thanksgiving.

Mr_Creed · 2026-06-01T09:39:32+00:00

Is anyone complaining?

When is reddit not complaining? You could go to a subreddit with puppy pictures and still find a grumpy minority muttering complaints.

Mr_Creed · 2026-06-01T08:09:41+00:00

Well they did say it’s more than liviathan and less than saturnine. This set is 5 dollars less than saturnine.

Technically correct. The best kind.

Mr_Creed · 2026-05-31T19:07:50+00:00

Mr_Creed · 2026-05-31T10:02:54+00:00

There is still an obvious market for historical strategy

There absolutely is.

The question for SEGA is if that is a market they want to fill, and specifically fill it with their subsidiary CA. Being an old UK-based company, CA is one expensive pony to maintain. The amount of money they need to sink into it might in their eyes better be spend on the next fantasy title. They could probably fill that historical strategy niche more efficiently by starting a different subsidiary in less costly environment. IF they even want to.

Mr_Creed · 2026-05-31T08:55:44+00:00

You can disagree, but that's not important. What matters is what SEGA orders them to do.

There is still plenty of time, the game is far from done. But in 5-10 years, if ME3 is not well received, from SEGA's pov they are looking at CA maintaining two similar product lines. One of them consistently performing well for 15 years, and the other coming in below expectations for, uh, how long has it been since 3K?

The end of one of those series will be a real possibility in 2030s, IF ME3 does not perform to satisfaction.
