For example, there are multiple studios using Guerrilla Games’ Decima engine. We also value the improvement of our technology and share this idea across studios. . ”
In addition to Horizon projects such as Call of the Mountain and potentially the new Death Stranding that is rumored, it is not clear what these projects may be in development and what the teams are. “Multiple” is an umbrella term and could simply refer to Guerrilla, Firesprite (author of Call of the Mountain) and Kojima Productions.
