Sony is reportedly moving forward with a new Killzone project. According to a recent report, Guerrilla Games is collaborating with an external studio to develop a remake or remaster of the classic first-person shooter. The original Killzone debuted on PlayStation 2 in 2004, spawning several sequels before the franchise went dormant after Killzone: Shadow Fall on PS4 in 2013.
The rumored project is still in early development, so no release window has been set. Neither Sony nor Guerrilla has officially commented, but insiders suggest the new Killzone could arrive before the next mainline Horizon title. Horizon 3 is believed to be years away, with only a small team currently working on it. Guerrilla is also reported to be handling Horizon Hunters Gathering, another project that has undergone changes.
Polish studio People Can Fly is said to be involved in the Killzone remake, though their specific role remains unclear.
Bringing Killzone back via a remake would allow Sony to reintroduce the series to modern consoles without building from scratch. The original game sold roughly 2 million copies, and a polished remaster could attract both nostalgic veterans and new players looking for a gritty shooter.
Killzone Remake vs. Horizon 3
Based on current rumors, Killzone seems more likely to launch first. While the project is in early stages, it is reportedly further along than Horizon 3. Still, plans can change, and fans should temper expectations until Sony makes an official announcement.
If the remake is real, it could give Sony a flagship shooter franchise once again. For now, the PlayStation community waits for confirmation.
