Some leaks not too long ago claimed that there was a Horizon co-op game in development by Guerrilla Studio, and now the developer itself appears to be confirming it.
As spotted by YouTube channel JorRaptor, developer Guerrilla has a series of posts on its official website, all of which explicitly confirm that the studio is working on a collaborative title for the Horizon series.
Guerrilla Games has basically confirmed Horizon multiplayer.
New job postings just appeared with 'online project' in the title.

All of these posts state in their titles that they’re about a collaborative project, but that’s not all. For example, in the description attached to the game’s “Head Mission Designer” job description as “an ambitious, unannounced project,” the description states that the developer is working to “bring the expansive world of Horizon to a multiplayer audience.”
Interestingly, with a Senior Combat Style Designer job description, the game also features several unique playable characters. “Guerrilla is looking for an experienced Senior Fighting Style Designer to help create playable characters that are fun and memorable in combat.”
Meanwhile, as fans of the series have come to expect, it seems that the co-op title Horizon will remain an open-world game, and the focus will remain on storytelling. According to the job description for lead writer: “Our writers are driven to push the boundaries of dramatic storytelling in open-world games. We want players to feel hooked on our quests and characters, enjoy the constant dialogue, and enjoy our stories for a long time.”
By now, there should be little doubt in anyone's mind that a Horizon co-op game is already in development, but a project for the title is moving forward at full steam. As for how long it will take developer Guerrilla and publisher Sony to get ready to officially reveal the title, it's still predictably a long way until we find out anything like that.
