Killzone was one of the most popular Playstation titles a decade ago. It rivaled the legendary Halo franchise for a while. However, the last major release was in 2013, and many fans have assumed the series is dead. Nothing has been heard from Guerrilla Games, the developer, for a while, though the community still has many active forums. A glimmer of hope popped up in one of these communities from one of the key members of the franchise.

Playstation’s Killzone Remaster rumors

Killzone delivered unforgettable experiences across platforms like the PSP and PS Vita with three main series games and various spin-offs. Though the last installment, Killzone: Shadow Fall, didn’t quite meet expectations, the passionate fanbase eagerly awaits a resurgence. For those longing to relive the battles on Helghan soil, there’s a glimmer of hope. Despite the 2022 shutdown of the online servers for the newest game, the single-player thrill is still alive and accessible. For the nostalgics, the early titles from the series are available for streaming through PlayStation Plus, but fans are vocal about their desire for remastered editions.

Recently, Joris de Man, the brilliant composer behind the series’ music, chimed in with his wish for a remaster trilogy, sparking hope that the dream isn’t too far-fetched. Although not officially affiliated with Guerrilla Games, de Man’s insight into the potential success of a potential reboot reminds us that the love for the series hasn’t faded.

Guerrilla Games has been busy with their successful Horizon franchise, including the recent remastered launch of Horizon Zero Dawn and the LEGO Horizon Adventures spinoff. There’s speculation about what their next major project might be. Though a brand-new game from the franchise may not be on the horizon, revitalizing the series through a remaster has possibilities. The gaming landscape has evolved over the past decade, but that hasn’t diminished the craving for more of Killzone‘s gameplay.

Final Thoughts

As fans continue to discuss and dream on the subreddit, it’s clear that the franchise still holds a special place in the hearts of many. The groundwork for a successful remaster is all but laid out, and while its official announcement hangs in the balance, the game’s potential resurgence is sure to captivate both seasoned veterans and newcomers to the genre. Stay tuned, because the next chapter of Killzone might just be on the brink of becoming reality once more. Hopefully, the developers will catch wind of the excitement and decide to move forward.
