The next era of online worlds
A dying empire.
An endless night.
One last story.
Project 夜龙 is our first fully in-house game — a persistent online world where the apocalypse is not a weather event. It is political, slow, and deeply personal. Cities still stand. Markets still open. People still fall in love, argue about taxes, and bury their parents while the red moon climbs.
You are not the chosen one. You are one of the people who has to live through the end of the world — and decide what gets carried into whatever comes next.
Read the full reveal世界
01
A world that remembers
Territory, alliances, and grudges persist across sessions and seasons. The continent changes because of what players do — not because a patch reset it.
战斗
02
Combat with weight
No rotation buttons. No animation cancels that erase the consequence of a decision. Every swing costs stamina, position, or both.
故事
03
Stories at scale
Hundreds of authored arcs wrapped around a living simulation. The end of the world is not empty. It is crowded, political, and deeply human.
Project 夜龙 enters alpha playtesting and launches in 2027 on PC.

The studio
Built in Los Angeles. Made for the world.
Horizon started in 2017 with two people, one Unturned server, and a garage in Echo Park. Nine years later we are a twenty-person studio in the Arts District, building our own engine and our first original world.
We are independent by choice. We plan around sustainable hours. We believe the best games come from small teams with real ownership — and that Los Angeles, with all its light and grit, is part of everything we make.

What we make
Three worlds. One engine.
A live city, an engine built from first principles, and the game we have been waiting our whole careers to make.
