Joris de Man, the composer of Guerrilla Games' 2017 smash hit Horizon Zero Dawn, recently shared his thoughts on the future of the Killzone franchise. While de Man believes a remastered Killzone collection could be successful, he isn't as confident about the viability of an entirely new entry in the first-person shooter series.
The first Killzone game launched in 2004 and kicked off a franchise that was perceived by many as PlayStation's answer to first-person shooter titans like Call of Duty and Halo. Killzone accrued popularity for its gritty, war-torn sci-fi aesthetic, impressive graphical fidelity, and the iconic Helghast. This enemy faction, with its varied military uniforms and glowing red eyes, became the calling card of the Killzone series, and continues to be so even today. Unfortunately, the franchise has been largely dormant since the release of the 2013 PS4 launch title Killzone: Shadow Fall, and even Guerrilla itself has moved on from it.
Two IPs that were a notable part of PlayStation's history but have since gone quiet could be brought back in differing but equally effective ways.
A new Killzone game seems unlikelier than ever, but fans have been requesting a remastered collection...
