Sony Reportedly Greenlights Killzone's Return after over a Decade in the Grave, Even Ahead of Horizon 3
Wccftech • • technology
Key Points:
- Killzone is reportedly in early development for a remaster or remake, with Guerrilla Games collaborating with an external team, according to MP1st, marking the franchise's return after more than a decade.
- The project was initially planned to start post-Horizon Hunters Gathering, but delays due to that game's reboot may affect the timeline; however, the Killzone project is expected to release before Horizon 3.
- This revival is surprising given Guerrilla and Sony's recent focus on the Horizon franchise and the generally higher sales of open-world action/adventure games compared to shooters.
- Previously, Guerrilla's studio art director Roy Postma indicated the team had moved on from Killzone to pursue different themes, but recent events, including a crossover with Helldivers 2, hinted at renewed interest in the IP.
- The last Killzone game, Shadow Fall, was released in 2013 as a PlayStation 4 launch title, making this potential remaster/remake a significant comeback for the series.
