Lego has its next big video game collaboration in Sony’s Horizon series. Sony announced at Summer Game Fest on Friday that it’s developing Lego Horizon Adventures for release later this year, not just for the PlayStation 5, but for PC and the Nintendo Switch as well.

This is looking like a much more lighthearted trailer than Horizon fans might be used to, with series’ heroine Aloy helping out a Lego hotdog man in the trailer. Also, instead of a third-person action game, this is an isometric top-down adventure with some platforming, some combat, and some dancing. Instead of being single-player only, Lego Horizon Adventures will also support two-player couch and online co-op, which is common in other Lego titles.

A post on the PlayStation blog also reveals that you’ll be able to customize Mother’s Heart with Lego buildings and other objects.

This release strategy goes along with Sony’s push onto other platforms. Unlike Horizon Forbidden West, which took around two years to hit PC after its console launch, Lego Horizon Adventures is releasing simultaneously on PC, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 5. This is a strategy that did well for Sony with Helldivers 2, and is something it’s trying out with the upcoming Concord. Both these games are multiplayer, and Lego Horizon Adventures is single-player, so it looks like the company is trying something new.

The game was heavily rumored leading up to the showcase, thanks to an initial post from Kurakasis, a leaker who gets a lot of his information from trademark filings. It was claimed to be announced this week by reliable leaker Billbil-kun of Dealabs.

Lego Horizon Adventures is being developed by Guerilla Games, the makers of the mainline series, along with Studio Gobo.

Update: Added information about the game from the PlayStation blog.

Sony has more remasters planned if an Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) rating seemingly posted ahead of schedule is any indication. Horizon Zero Dawn, Guerilla Games' 2017 open-world critical darling, is getting a remaster, according to a listing on the ESRB website.

The listing says that Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered will have the same rating as the original: T for teen for blood, drug references, language, mild sexual themes, and violence. It's been rated for PlayStation 5 and PC. Unfortunately, the description is the same as the one on the original game's page, so no other information is available.

The best RPG you’ve never played is coming to Nintendo Switch
The hero of Fantasian runs.

Mistwalker's Apple Arcade exclusive RPG Fantasian is making its way to consoles under the new title Fantasian Neo Dimension. Fantasian was originally released in two parts in 2021, and Fantasian Neo Dimension will contain all the game's content when released on Nintendo Switch for the 2024 holiday season.

During the June 2024 Nintendo Direct, Fantasian Neo Dimension was revealed to be coming to Nintendo Switch in time for the holidays. Fantasian is a turn-based RPG featuring an amnesiac protagonist named Leo who awakens in a dimension known as the Machine Realm. In the Apple version, players would tap on locations to move Leo around the maps and engage in random battles. However, using the Dimengeon system would allow players to disable random battles against foes they already faced and store them in the titular Dimengeon to explore uninterrupted. There is a limit to how many fights can be stored, so players cannot avoid every fight in the game.
