Sony is reportedly planning a revival of the Killzone franchise, a move that addresses a long-standing demand from the game's loyal fanbase. The original series ended with 2013's Killzone: Shadow Fall, leaving a gap in the PlayStation library that has persisted for over a decade. This potential return matters to players who have waited years for a new entry in the tactical shooter genre.
Guerrilla Games reportedly leads revival project with external partner
The project involves Guerrilla Games, the studio that originally created the series, working in collaboration with an external development studio. Reports indicate that Guerrilla Games is collaborating with an external studio to help develop the project. This project may become Guerrilla Games' next major focus after the completion of Horizon Hunter's Gathering.
Killzone is currently in the early stages of development, according to reports from MP1st citing unnamed sources. The project was initially intended to be Guerrilla Games' next major focus following the completion of Horizon Hunter's Gathering. Plans apparently changed, allowing the Killzone revival to take precedence as a primary development goal.
Hermen Hulst, a key figure at Sony, acknowledged the strong appetite from fans, stating that the team still loves the franchise with passion. This sentiment confirms that the internal desire to revive the series exists, even if the project remains unconfirmed officially. The Killzone project was reportedly intended to follow Horizon Hunter's Gathering but plans have since changed.
The story relies on reports from MP1st and does not include an official confirmation from Sony Interactive Entertainment. Until a formal announcement occurs, the project remains a rumor based on industry insiders. Sony has not yet officially confirmed the development or release details of the project.
