Killzone remasters could include some DualSense features and updated visuals, getting them more on par with today’s shooters. This would surely take less time and resources to make, but it would still allow the IP to live on instead of being abandoned. While it could always pass the IP over to another member of PlayStation Studios, allowing a different developer to build a new Killzone game, an alternative is a remastered collection of Killzone titles. Working against the idea of a new Killzone game is the fact that Guerrilla has seemingly moved on to bigger and better things. The Killzone series has always been visually stunning, too, and the power of the PS5 would surely be on full display in a new Killzone game.
A new Killzone game could take advantage of this, providing more unique weapons while also letting players feel the impact of gory melee kills. Games like Astro’s Playroom have demonstrated just how great the controller can be at making players feel different things, while Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart and Returnal have shown how adaptive triggers can provide different firing modes. The DualSense controller is one of the biggest reasons that PlayStation shooters like Resistance and Killzone deserve to be revived. While the series never sold as well as it reviewed, nostalgia could help a new entry do well out the gate, with major innovations also bringing Killzone to a larger audience. Further, the ending of Shadow Fall’s campaign set up an interesting sequel, so it is a shame that it will likely never be expanded upon. With Killzone Shadow Fall’s multiplayer overrun by hackers and basically unplayable, fans of the series desperately need a new online mode within the Killzone universe.

As such, whether through a sequel or remasters, Killzone deserves to live on.
With an interesting story featuring sympathetic villains in the form of the Helghast, there are plenty of upsides to Killzone. Every entry in the series was good or great, and many gamers have fond memories of Killzone multiplayer. While it is great that Horizon is such a success and that Guerrilla is trying something new in the FPS genre, it is a shame that Killzonehas completely died. Further, the leak claims that Killzone is dead, with Guerrilla Games prioritizing this new IP and the Horizon franchise. A recent Guerrilla Games leak revealed that the developer’s next game will be a shooter with an eSports focus, but it will not be set in the Killzone universe. The Killzone franchise has not received a new game since 2013’s Killzone Shadow Fall, and unfortunately, it seems like this will not be changing anytime soon.
