Boy, this is awkward: Sony drops the first Horizon Hunters Gathering playtest directly on top of the Marathon server slam this weekend

Aloy in Horizon Hunters Gathering reveal cinematic.

The long-rumored co-op action game Horizon Hunters Gathering was finally made official earlier this month, along with a promise of a "small-scale closed playtest" set for the end of February. Today Sony announced that the test will run from February 27 to March 1, and if those dates feel oddly familiar to you, it might be because you've already blocked them out on your calendar for the Marathon server slam.

The Horizon Hunters Gathering playtest will give "selected players" a shot at taking Sun, Ram, or Axle—three of the game's cast of characters—for a spin through through two game modes: a wave-based survival mode called Machine Incursion, and a "multi-stage dungeon featuring ever-changing challenges" called Cauldron Descent.
