The official announcement for "Horizon Steel Frontiers" did not specify when it would be available, but the aim is for a simultaneous worldwide release around the end of 2026 or the beginning of 2027. At the beginning of this year, "there were false rumors spreading that development had been canceled, which confused us," but at the time of the announcement, there were many positive reactions of surprise, and it seems that things are off to a good start.
The announcement also stated that PURPLE (PC) and mobile devices were supported platforms, but given that it is technically possible, they are also positive about releasing a PlayStation 5 version. At the time of the interview, they were still in discussions, but we can certainly look forward to some good news.
In addition, Japanese voice acting is also planned for the service. "Not using Japanese voice actors to provide the service in Japan would be like shooting ourselves in the foot," said Lee. Japan will of course be included in the global release. We can't wait for new information to be revealed next year.
