Moon Studios CEO Thomas Mahler has backed Guerrilla Games on its co-op pivot, Horizon Hunters Gathering, telling the team to not worry too much if people aren't immediately on board with such a drastically different game.

Guerrilla Games last week revealed a co-op spin-off to its usually single-player robot dinosaur series called Horizon Hunters Gathering, a game that looks a touch more like Monster Hunter than it does Horizon Zero Dawn. Between the updated art style and general gameplay loop, online reactions haven't been too hot, prompting Mahler to jump into the discourse.
