What do we want from Horizon? Let me guess. Maybe it's Irk Imp who writes in and says, Horizon MMO, like WoW or ESO. No. A Horizon Monster Hunter, yes.

Horizon Zero Dawn MMO Reportedly Cancelled - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.21.25
Yeah, so early PS I Love You days with Colin where I remember distinctly we were doing the news and it was one of these articles that was some marketing uppity up at PlayStation talking about how Horizon to them was a transmedia property. And I remember being like, yo, slow down. Do we care about this? Is this going to be big enough? And then, of course, the game was great.

I'm not taking away from the quality of Zero Dawn or... Forbidden West. Forbidden West. Well, that was the... Yes, and Burning Shores. That's where I was caught up. I'm not taking away from the quality of the games, but it was like... Okay, it was big, but then it has been this rush to... mine it over and over and over and over again.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Horizon Zero Dawn MMO Reportedly Cancelled - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.21.25
And that's where you come down with this MMO game where it's like, You know, I've connected before with DC Universe Online as my MMO, and I like that a lot. So the idea of an NCSoft slash PlayStation MMORPG is interesting. Horizon's world is interesting. But it would have been like, so am I just... I'm Aloy Light. I'm Diet Aloy. Like, I'm not Aloy, so I'm going to be this character I create.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Horizon Zero Dawn MMO Reportedly Cancelled - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.21.25
Yeah. It'd be great. Where are you right now with your Switch hype? Of course, you've done one half of the games cast duo where yesterday you predicted your first year for the Nintendo Switch. Today, Timothy steps up to do it.

Horizon Zero Dawn MMO Reportedly Cancelled - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.21.25
But I'm also using a focus, and I'm also doing all this stuff, and I'm shooting the bows, and I'm doing the things. And it's like, again...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Horizon Zero Dawn MMO Reportedly Cancelled - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.21.25
the rumored gorilla co-op monster hunter like horizon is more interesting because i feel like that strikes me so much like ghost of tsushima legends where it's going to be a thing of like oh cool let's go off and do this let's take on this thing let's go that you know i mean like i don't need the story of my character in this mmorpg foist upon me where i'm like oh i'm trying to make where am i i'm in the seattle region or whatever i don't know what's going on yeah and it's like i

Horizon Zero Dawn MMO Reportedly Cancelled - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.21.25
Uh, jumping into a little bit of the super chats here to continue the conversation. Uh, tedious says as someone who loves lore in game, I would probably have tried the horizon MMO quit a weekend, then delved into the wiki lore minds like always interesting way to tackle it. But yeah, there's going to be so much to do, obviously in an MMO. Why would you do that?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Horizon Zero Dawn MMO Reportedly Cancelled - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.21.25
Um, DJ Kento writes in like this horizon popularity test. Can anyone in the office name five or even three characters in horizon other than Aloy?

What a weird game. What a weird game that sequel was. It was fun. It was great. I enjoyed it, but it's like... It's such a sequel to number one. Yeah. Don't get me wrong. It's more technically impressive and beautiful. But it's such a sequel that it's just such a blur of it all running together. You're like, yeah, Angel of Basset.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Horizon Zero Dawn MMO Reportedly Cancelled - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.21.25
game playing what we were doing and look like the fact that I think what they tease for the next one should be crazy yeah and again these games are all fun these games are all enjoyable but I think what we're talking about is what separates a somewhere in the eights from somewhere in the nines yeah where you're like oh yeah like this is I'm rocking for this game I enjoyed the hell out of those games I'll be excited for the third one but yeah

I'm not sitting here being like... When we talk about The Last of Us' story or something. Or God of War.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Horizon Zero Dawn MMO Reportedly Cancelled - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.21.25
Oh. No. I would have been excited to see what this looks like. I... From... From the outside, hearing about it, being a PlayStation guy, liking Horizon, I would be interested to see what you do with that to make that unique and cool and whatever. I'd be super interested to see what a, even though it's not strictly them, an MMO from PlayStation looks like. How do you do a PlayStation 2025?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Horizon Zero Dawn MMO Reportedly Cancelled - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.21.25
How do you do an MMO in 2025?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Horizon Zero Dawn MMO Reportedly Cancelled - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.21.25
Yeah, like, their version of North mythology. See, I think all of these... The things that are similar here, I think these worlds are interesting through the eyes of the protagonist. Through the eyes of Aloy, through the eyes of Kratos slash Atreus or whatever. Like, I don't... Like... Take away Atreus and Kratos. I don't really want to wander around that world and get missions from fucking Thor.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Horizon Zero Dawn MMO Reportedly Cancelled - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.21.25
Yeah, exactly. Whatever. And run off and do the other thing and not have powers or get powers or whatever. This is an interesting thread to pull on because I choke up. Joe writes in and says, Horizon has released two games and a Lego spinoff. We get a new Yakuza every year. I love Horizon, but balking at it being too present feels wrong.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Horizon Zero Dawn MMO Reportedly Cancelled - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.21.25
My interesting argument, I love to get into it, and I respect you, Joe. My counter argument is, every time there's a new Yakuza game, Roger freaks out. People online freak out. That is a fan base that is saying, give us as much as possible. Give us more, give us more, give us more, give us more. Whereas Horizon feels,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Horizon Zero Dawn MMO Reportedly Cancelled - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.21.25
When we're talking about a Lego game, when we're talking about a TV show, when we're talking about all these different things, that feels so manufactured. That feels like PlayStation telling us, oh, we've heard you. You want more. And I'm like, but have we? Have the masses been saying they want more? I want more of the core game. I want to finish the trilogy.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Horizon Zero Dawn MMO Reportedly Cancelled - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.21.25
I want to see where we're going with this. But I'm not sitting there going, oh, man, I can't wait for just anything Horizon. Yeah, I agree with that. Okay, fine. Good enough. That was fun. I mean, Street Shadows coming with a very similar one. There have been three Horizon games released so far. There's a perceived notion that it's too much. What about Mario?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Horizon Zero Dawn MMO Reportedly Cancelled - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.21.25
I think the problem is we know too much about Inside Baseball about the IP development. I don't want to hear any Mario slander. Again, I respect it, but come on. Come on. Mario? A game that is on the short list for game of the year every time it's out, a game that revolutionizes itself, a game that made video games what they are.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Horizon Zero Dawn MMO Reportedly Cancelled - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.21.25
Fair enough. Let's stay in the PlayStation state of mind and move on to story number two. Ben Studio Dev says, quote, we still plan on creating cool shit. End quote. After Sony live service cancellation. This is Wesley Yin Pool at IGN. Super chat question. What do you want to see next from Sony Bend?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Horizon Zero Dawn MMO Reportedly Cancelled - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.21.25
The developer of Days Gone has said it still plans to create cool shit after parent company Sony canceled its unannounced live service game. Last week, Sony canceled two unannounced live service games that were in development at Ben's Studio and Bluepoint Games. The Bluepoint game was reportedly a live service God of War game, according to Bloomberg's Jason Schreier.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Horizon Zero Dawn MMO Reportedly Cancelled - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.21.25
Ben's studio live service game remains unknown. A Sony perks spokesperson confirmed that cancel cancellations to Bloomberg, adding that neither studio will be closed and it will work with each to determine this next projects.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Horizon Zero Dawn MMO Reportedly Cancelled - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.21.25
In a tweet, Sony Ben community manager, Kevin McAllister issued a short message to the developer fans, quote, thanks for the love and support everyone, especially to those who have reached out. P.S. We still plan on creating cool shit. End quote. As it stands, Sony Benz last release was 2019's Days Gone on PlayStation 4. It launched on PC in 2021. Bullshit.

Horizon Zero Dawn MMO Reportedly Cancelled - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.21.25
Yeah, I'll be interested. Obviously, we wish the best for all these people. As I said, when this happens, my money is on Sony Bend getting closed. Not because of a lack of talent. Not because something's wrong with that studio. I just think as PlayStation continues to watch the bottom line, do this thing, how do we make this all work? I feel like Sony Bend and Bluepoint are in dangerous water.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Horizon Zero Dawn MMO Reportedly Cancelled - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.21.25
They are on thin ice here. Again, as we talked at length about last week, not because of themselves, right? They tried to answer the call of PlayStation wanting live service titles, but I think that didn't work. And now Sony bends there. And what are they going to move to? How long will that take to mobilize them again? Bluepoint? I think you can toss. All right. Remaster this game. Do this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Horizon Zero Dawn MMO Reportedly Cancelled - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.21.25
Horizons MMO has seemingly been canceled. Ben Studios still planning on making cool games and how tariffs could affect your video games. We'll have all this and more because this is kind of funny games daily.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Horizon Zero Dawn MMO Reportedly Cancelled - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.21.25
We have a, there's, we can immediately give you a project to get you going to get you out the door with something. Whereas with Sony bend, I think, You assume it's from the ground up. I'm sure they've had other ideas and maybe something else was in pre-pro, yada, yada, yada. But I worry about how long PlayStation lets them gestate on it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Horizon Zero Dawn MMO Reportedly Cancelled - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.21.25
And even if it is that, you gestate on it and get down the line. And guess what? That one also isn't up to snuff for whatever reason PlayStation says.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Horizon Zero Dawn MMO Reportedly Cancelled - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.21.25
I would say you're more likely to get the remake from Bluepoint. Yeah, I think... That was the thing that was reported before. That's been kicked around forever, right? So you figure, yeah, that would be whatever. And again, to what Shu was talking about in his interview last week with me, right? Of like, these remakes, remasters are what pays the bills to keep them making other things.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Horizon Zero Dawn MMO Reportedly Cancelled - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.21.25
So I could easily see that being the switch flip. Whereas again, Sony, Ben, go make an Uncharted. I just feel like... We saw that not work out well for them with Golden Abyss, where it was... I mean, Golden Abyss' biggest knock is that it was fun, but it's not Uncharted, right? It's not a Naughty Dog. And so I feel like...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Horizon Zero Dawn MMO Reportedly Cancelled - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.21.25
Unless they were ready to be like, Sony, Ben, go make the new Uncharted and you are the Uncharted studio from here on. This is the official Uncharted. Naughty Dog's never coming back to it. It's now your thing with your new protagonist, new stuff. Sure, but it would be the exact same thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Horizon Zero Dawn MMO Reportedly Cancelled - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.21.25
You launch Uncharted, the new age or whatever, and everybody's going to be like, oh, it's good, but it's not Uncharted 4 good. It's not Naughty Dog good. It's not Neil Druckmann good. And you just have this shadow looming over you in a way I think sucks. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Horizon Zero Dawn MMO Reportedly Cancelled - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.21.25
I do, too. I do, too. A lot of great people up at Sony Bend. I'd like them to be able to make a game, but the fates. They say no. They say no. You should not be able to do this one. Let's see what's going on here. Super Chats on this one, right? DJ Kento says, do you think the game Black State might fill that Metal Gear Solid weird sci-fi spy espionage void?

Number three, Mexico tariffs could lead to fewer physical game releases and increased software prices. This is Tom Ivan of EGC. A proposed tariff on imports from Mexico to the U.S. could result in fewer physical game releases and higher software prices.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Horizon Zero Dawn MMO Reportedly Cancelled - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.21.25
That's according to Matt Piscitella, executive director of video games at market research firm Circona, who was reacting to tariff threats made this week by new U.S. President Donald Trump. I like how he says, reacting to tariff threats made this week. Tariff threats made in the first three hours of being in office.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Horizon Zero Dawn MMO Reportedly Cancelled - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.21.25
After being sworn into the office on Monday, Trump said his administration was reviewing existing trade deals with neighbors Canada and Mexico, as well as China. He said he was considering imposing 25% duties on imports from Canada and Mexico on February 1st over illegal immigrants and fentanyl crossing into the U.S., Reuters reports.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Horizon Zero Dawn MMO Reportedly Cancelled - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.21.25
Quote, with 25% tariffs on imports from Mexico on the way, I can see a sharp downtick in the number of disc-based games that get released physically in the U.S. as much of that production infrastructure is in Mexico, Piscatello wrote on Blue Sky. If disc-based games do get made, the analyst said, he expects increased prices for both physical and digital titles.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Horizon Zero Dawn MMO Reportedly Cancelled - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.21.25
Quote, I would, were this to happen, anticipate digital suggested retail price to increase to remain at price parity with physical, but who knows. In any case, none of this is good for the physical video game market. End quote.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Horizon Zero Dawn MMO Reportedly Cancelled - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.21.25
About to get real expensive. You know, this is one of the big conversations, obviously, with the switch we were talking about, right? Of like, okay, cool. You're announcing this, but what's the price going to be? Well, what's the price going to be if all of this actually happens, right? And that was before Trump once again said it yesterday upon entering the Oval Office.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Horizon Zero Dawn MMO Reportedly Cancelled - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.21.25
excited yeah i'm with you of like you know the reveal didn't do much uh in terms of like holy shit i can't fucking wait it was like all right cool yeah it's bigger and it's gonna have that like i'm with you i want to see the games i want another thing i want them to say animal crossing is not launch because i don't like dreaming about it i keep dreaming about it being launched on your dreams i don't want to dream just give me a mario give me mario kart let's just there's no way i'm crossing launch no way no way but then what if but what is that's how you get you tumble down the hill of wild speculation and you ruin your day
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Horizon Zero Dawn MMO Reportedly Cancelled - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.21.25
I think that is the reality of this. And again, with President Trump, lots of times it's posturing. It doesn't actually happen. Even this, where it was like he's signing the executive orders and people are asking him. He's like, yeah, we're thinking about putting it into place in February. It's like... He's thought about a lot of things for his total of four years, let alone to get to this point.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Horizon Zero Dawn MMO Reportedly Cancelled - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.21.25
So does it actually happen on February 1st? Nobody knows, but it is a real threat. It is a real concern, and it really would, I think, impact video games quite dramatically.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Horizon Zero Dawn MMO Reportedly Cancelled - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.21.25
And I think, of course, yeah, you know, tariffs were such a big part of the election, talking about them coming in, right? Where do people understand what they really are and da-da-da-da? Obviously, the idea of a tariff is to...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Horizon Zero Dawn MMO Reportedly Cancelled - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.21.25
uh push manufacturing back to america or push products back to america right in terms of rather than buy your lumber from canada buy your lumber from america because it'll be cheaper in america than it will be from canada the problem with all of this and you can especially in matt and some of his follow-up blues guys brought this up when somebody asked about well couldn't this just bring disc manufacturing back to america and he's like i mean no but yeah let's investigate that for a second right now i'm going away from matt just talking about greg right you're talking about

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Horizon Zero Dawn MMO Reportedly Cancelled - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.21.25
So to get any of this spun up, you're talking about years? Yeah. I mean, probably before Trump is even... Probably after Trump's out of office, right? I mean, he's done with his next four years if he decides to leave.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Horizon Zero Dawn MMO Reportedly Cancelled - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.21.25
It's this idea that you're not going to be able to make a manufacturing pipeline in America to do this in the same way, let alone, let's talk about this specific instance, where physical games are dying and have been dying. So why would anyone commit to it? You would hope as the consumer, and this sucks for people who like to collect physical games, as the consumer that you would say, okay, well...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Horizon Zero Dawn MMO Reportedly Cancelled - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.21.25
Fuck physical, just make it all digital, keep the prices where they are. But again, this is all a thing where all of these companies that make video games, we have seen day and day and day and time and time and time, week and week, year, year, year, are just trying to make as much fucking money as possible.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Horizon Zero Dawn MMO Reportedly Cancelled - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.21.25
And I assure you that everyone in America, every one of these corporations that deals with here are... On one hand, fuck, this sucks. But on the other hand, excited that they get to, hey, we can increase our prices and people can't get mad at us anymore. Oh, it's tariffs. Yeah. But you're this company. Oh, but our supplier on this end does use that. So this is why it's going up.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Horizon Zero Dawn MMO Reportedly Cancelled - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.21.25

I don't know if anything actually happened or if that was just because their Twitter account is still very much about the developer direct tomorrow. I don't know. Why are we saying poor them? What happened to them? Something happened to them? Lickershead says, I applied at Circona once, but Matt Piscitella ghosted me. LMAO.

I'll point out that I was once behind him at the, what is it, the Lowry's Carvery, Cravery, whatever it was, next to LA Live. And he ghosted me right there. Didn't acknowledge me. You know what I mean? And then he tweeted me immediately afterwards. And I was like, it's too late, Matt. We're enemies now. But I love you and I love roast beef sandwiches. So I'll be there again.

Sure. Because it's going to sell out. But it's the same thing. It's the same argument as Mario Kart where put it out at a launch shirt and then for the rest of eternity, every Switch 2 that's sold is going to be sold alongside a copy of Mario Kart or Animal Crossing. Yeah. But I think I'm a thousand percent with you. Yeah.

Number four, Marvel Snap is back. We have a tweet from Second Dinner, who's the developer. Marvel Snap is back online in the U.S., but to make sure this never happens again, we're working to bring more services in-house and partner with a new publisher. This is the start of a new era for Marvel Snap. We know this probably leaves you with even more questions than answers.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Horizon Zero Dawn MMO Reportedly Cancelled - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.21.25
We appreciate your patience, but in the meantime, enjoy playing Marvel Snap. We'll continue to update with more information as soon as possible. Of course, when TikTok got banned over the weekend, Second Dinner also went down with Marvel Snap because of being owned by the same parent company that owns TikTok. Same thing with CapCut. And there's one other one I thought I was forgetting.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Horizon Zero Dawn MMO Reportedly Cancelled - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.21.25
Gotcha. Of course, this took Marvel Snap by surprise. They weren't expecting to be part of this, and so it's been a mad dash through this. Now trying to find a new publisher, also trying to figure out... I saw when this tweet went up yesterday, Second Dinner in the comments responding as much as they could, and people were like, when's it coming back to the App Store?

Yeah. Yeah. No, especially with closures and people winding things down and yada, yada, yada. No, I think that's pretty, not common, but like in this kind of scenario, I think the big thing here, of course, is again, you can go fuck with whatever little app and nobody cares. You fuck with an app that's got Disney behind it. Yeah. Disney's going to be like, whoa, hold up the fuck.

Yo, we want to make sure we keep making money off of this, so let's get a new publisher, and I'm sure they're going to get paid out, whatever they're going to get paid out to do that, to switch the rights, or become a minority share or whatever, so they're still getting money from this deal, blah, blah, blah, blah. Go get them. Good luck. What a crazy time. What a crazy time.
