Sony has reportedly approved a Killzone comeback, with multiple reports saying the series may finally be stirring again after going dark following 2013’s Killzone: Shadow Fall on PS4. Still, there are a few big caveats: the project is said to be in very early development, neither Sony nor Guerrilla Games has confirmed anything, and the plan could still change before it turns into something real.
What the reporting points to isn’t a brand-new sequel so much as a remaster or remake, most likely of the original 2004 Killzone. That would give Sony a fairly safe way to see how much appetite is left for a shooter series that reportedly sold around 2 million copies, while also giving newer players an easy way into it.
The same reports say Killzone would land before Horizon 3, which is apparently still years off and in the hands of a small team. That timing may also have something to do with Guerrilla’s multiplayer project, Horizon Hunters Gathering, which was reportedly rebooted after negative feedback. Guerrilla is also said to be working with an outside studio. Right now, the main guess is People Can Fly, largely because of its 2025 Project Delta deal with PlayStation.
If you’ve been holding out for Killzone, this is one rumor to keep an eye on. The 2024 Helldivers 2 crossover also lines up with that reading, based on the same reporting. There’s nothing to download yet, but if this turns out to be real, it’d mark Killzone’s first return in more than a decade and a clear move beyond Horizon.
