This has led some to speculate that a new Killzone VR game could be in the works for the upcoming PSVR2. Is the franchise being left behind in favor of newer IPs, or is something else in the works?Īpparently, Supermassive Games was working on Killzone VR for years before Sony pulled it in-house. While this is certainly exciting news, it also raises questions about what this means for Killzone. Today, rumors have been running a muck that PlayStation and Guerrilla Games are working on a remake/remaster of Horizon Zero Dawn for PS5.

It also sparked speculation that Sony and Guerrilla Games may be planning something new for the franchise. This news was met with disappointment from fans who still enjoy playing these games online. Online servers for Killzone Mercenary, Killzone Shadow Fall (including Intercept Mode) and RIGS: Mechanized Combat League will shut down on August 31, 2021. Many gamers have fond memories of the series, and would love to see it make a comeback on the PS5. While it's true that Sony has plenty of other successful franchises to fall back on, there's no denying that Killzone still has a dedicated fanbase. The Xbox maker defends its strange arguments that Sony needn't worry about PS5 losing the massive shooter franchise. Some have speculated that the focus on new IPs like Horizon Zero Dawn and the upcoming Horizon Forbidden West has taken attention away from Killzone. However, with seemingly no plans in place for a Killzone revival, they are left to wonder why more is not being done with the IP. The standalone co-op mode Intercept also failed to make much of an impact.ĭespite this, fans of the franchise have been clamoring for a new installment on the PS5.

While the game received generally positive reviews, it didn't quite capture the same level of excitement as its predecessors. However, after the release of Killzone Shadow Fall on the PlayStation 4 in 2013, the series seemed to lose steam. Killzone 2 and Killzone 3, in particular, were praised for their impressive visuals and intense action. The franchise spanned several console generations, with each installment pushing the limits of what was possible on Sony's hardware. The series, which debuted on the PlayStation 2 back in 2004, quickly became known for its intense sci-fi shooter gameplay and impressive graphics.īefore Guerilla Games released Horizon Zero Dawn and captured the attention of millions of fans, the developer was best known for its work on the Killzone series. Among these is the Killzone franchise, which has been dormant for several years now. From third-party PS titles from the past to long-dormant first-party titles, there are several video game franchises that deserve a comeback.
