Guerrilla Games’ upcoming PlayStation 4-exclusive action-RPG, Horizon: Zero Dawn, sits somewhere between the Assassin’s Creed and Elder Scrolls franchises, its co-founder and managing director has said.
Speaking with GamesRadar, Hermen Hulst commented, "I guess you’re wondering where we are on that spectrum of, on the one side more action-orientated games like Assassin’s Creed, and on the other hand you have your Elder Scrolls and these kinds of series. I think we’re in-between. We have elements in both directions, and that probably puts us somewhere in between."
Hulst went on to say that it’s "really difficult" to chat about the finer points of the game’s role-playing elements at this point in time. "Once we have something to show we’ll talk about it in more detail," he said.
“We looked at certain trends in them and certain core elements, and we decided to take some of that forward into a prototyping stage. We actually, at that point, still took a couple of concepts further, but the Horizon concept was, even from very early on, already appealing to all of us and so we decided to concentrate on that.”
Horizon: Zero Dawn is due out PS4 in 2016.
