Sony has announced Horizon Steel Frontiers, a new game for mobile devices and PC under development at Guild Wars studio NCSoft. The new entry in the Horizon franchise is an MMORPG that looks heavily inspired by Capcom's Monster Hunter series--albeit with mechanical monsters instead of organic ones--and the PC version will be playable through NCSoft's Purple platform.

Developed in collaboration with Horizon studio Guerrilla Games, Horizon Steel Frontiers is set in the Deadlands. As a Machine Hunter, players will get to customize their character and embark on large-scale raids, utilizing an "advanced" combat system to secure resources. A release date has not been revealed yet, and the game isn't listed for PS5 or PS4--a first for the franchise considering its PlayStation roots.

Recently, Sony took Chinese conglomerate Tencent to court over Light of Motiram, a game that Sony labeled as a "slavish clone" of the Horizon series.

Earlier this fall, Kojima Productions shared a trailer for a Death Stranding anime movie, Death Stranding: Mosquito. However, that's not the only anime expanding the Death Stranding universe. Franchise creator Hideo Kojima has revealed that a Death Stranding anime series is coming to Disney+.

Kojima and series director Takayuki Sano announced the series at Hong Kong Disneyland Resort. The working title of the show is Death Stranding Isolations, which will utilize traditional hand-drawn 2D animation. The animation will be provided by E&H production, and Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045 character designer Ilya Kuvshinov created the concept art for Isolations. The art includes a glimpse of the two leading characters.

While the series stands alone from the game, the synopsis mentions Norman Reedus' Sam Bridges by name and hints that the male lead has an unknown grudge against Sam.

Five years into the PS5 lifecycle, Sony is confident that the best-selling game of all time for the system has yet to be released. In a new interview, PlayStation's senior VP of marketing, sales, and business operations, Eric Lempel, spoke about how the PS5 era has just started to find its feet, and he has an idea of what the console's biggest-selling game will be.

"I would say we're really hitting our stride now," Lempel said to BBC News. As for the game that will be the PS5's sales juggernaut? "I'm not going to tell you which one, but I think it's still to come," Lempel added.

In the US, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is currently the best-selling PS5 game, with Marvel's Spider-Man 2 in second place. Several more games are in development for the console, including Marvel's Wolverine and Saros. While those games are expected to sell well, it's the upcoming release of GTA 6 that analysts are predicting will be a blockbuster of note. Even with it being delayed to November 2026, hype for GTA 6 still remains off the charts. Its predecessor, GTA 5, is the second-best-selling game of all time--220 million units shipped as of November 2025--and it'll be coming back to the PS Plus Game Catalog later this month.
