    Details about a management shuffle on its website led to Guerrilla Games apparently announcing a sequel to Horizon: Forbidden West. The post in question talks about "Aloy's next adventure" along with Guerrilla's "exciting online project."

    Studio director Ange and executive producer Angie Smets is parting ways from Guerrilla. She is taking on the role of head of development strategy at PlayStation Studios.

    "These past two decades at Guerrilla have been an absolute dream. I feel privileged to have worked alongside some of the smartest and coolest people in the industry. I'm so grateful for everything I've learned alongside all the other Guerrillas. We have accomplished so much as a team, and I'm incredibly proud of all the games we've shipped together.

    A special shoutout to Jan-Bart van Beek and Michiel van der Leeuw. It feels like just yesterday that we were figuring out how to make and ship the first Killzone. Little did we know that we would eventually lead Guerrilla together. You've become like brothers to me, and there's no way to thank you enough. I will miss you dearly."​
    In terms of new titles and positions in the wake of Smets' departure, Joel Eschler is now studio director and production director. Hella Schmidt is also studio director and general manager at Guerrilla. Jan-Bart van Beek is a third studio director and is also art director at Guerrilla Games.

    It is here when Guerrilla briefly mentions "Aloy's next adventure" alongside the multiplayer project.

    We have full confidence in our new leadership as they steer Guerrilla towards a bright future, expanding the world of Horizon with Aloy's next adventure and our exciting online project. Michiel van der Leeuw (Technical Director) will be focusing on the future technology and strategy for the Decima engine.
    Guerrilla Games just recently released Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores for the PlayStation 5. This is an expansion for Horizon: Forbidden West that continues with new story set after the main game. Players will need to complete the main story campaign before tackling the Burning Shores DLC.

    The studio also recently released the PlayStation VR2 title Horizon Call of the Mountain.
