Horizon Hunters Gathering's Next Test Starts Soon, Here's How To Sign Up
Overview & Key Takeaways
The next playtest for the upcoming Horizon multiplayer game Horizon Hunters Gathering is coming up pretty soon, and the test is technically open to anyone, though you have to get lucky to actually get in.
The second closed playtest runs May 22-25, and just like the first test in February, this will be playable on PS5 and PC via Steam. You can sign up for the test on the PlayStation Beta Program website and then cross your fingers and hope you get chosen.
The second test features more content than the first one, including two new characters--Ensa and Shadow. Characters from the first test--Rem, Sun, and Axle--are in the second test as well. What's more, players can look forward to a "playable episode" in the second test. This is the narrative part of the multiplayer game where players will learn new story details as they fight the machines.

What is Horizon Hunters Gathering?
Horizon Hunters Gathering is a multiplayer game set in the Horizon universe, allowing up to three players in a group, with its visual style taking a markedly different look than the main Horizon series. Horizon Hunters Gathering has more vibrant visuals and gives off Fortnite energy in terms of its looks.
Players will work together to fight the deadly, animal-like machines that the Horizon series is known for. Guerrilla has said the game's combat is "tactical, reactive, and deeply skill-based."
