The beloved Sony franchise, Killzone, has been on a hiatus for quite some time, but there's renewed interest in its potential revival. In a recent interview with VideoGamer for the PlayStation: The Concert Tour, Killzone composer Joris de Man expressed his hope for the series' return. "I know that there have been petitions for it," de Man stated. "I think it's [tricky] because, I can't speak for Guerrilla or anything... I don't know if it will ever happen. I hope it will because I think it is quite an iconic franchise, but I also think it kind of has to take into account the sensitivities and the shift in what people want because it is quite bleak in some ways."
When it comes to the form a Killzone revival might take, de Man suggested that a remastered collection could be more successful than a brand new entry. "I think [a] remastered one would be successful, I don't know if a new game would be as much," he explained. "I don't know if people have moved on from it and want something. I don't know sometimes I get the sense that people want something a bit more casual, a bit more quick."
The Killzone series is known for its slower-paced, weightier gameplay compared to fast-paced shooters like Call of Duty. Killzone 2, in particular, was noted for its input lag on the PlayStation 3, which affected its responsiveness. The games are also characterized by their dark, gritty, and often depressing atmosphere.
In a separate interview with the Washington Post, it appeared that Sony-owned developer Guerrilla has shifted its focus to the Horizon series, moving away from Killzone. Despite this, it's been over a decade since the last entry, Killzone Shadow Fall, and the idea of reviving Killzone—or another PlayStation shooter franchise—remains appealing to many fans. While the future of Killzone remains uncertain, fans can take comfort in knowing they have at least one more advocate in their corner.
