The beloved Sony franchise, Killzone, has been quiet for quite some time, but recent comments from its composer, Joris de Man, have reignited hope among fans. In an interview with VideoGamer during the PlayStation: The Concert Tour, de Man expressed his support for the revival of the series. "I know that there have been petitions for it," he noted, acknowledging the fanbase's desire. However, he also highlighted the challenges, saying, "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, I guess, what people want because it is quite bleak in some ways."
De Man suggested that a remastered collection might be more feasible and appealing 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. He also touched on the evolving preferences of gamers, noting, "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."
Killzone games are known for their slower, more deliberate gameplay, contrasting with faster-paced shooters like Call of Duty. The series, particularly Killzone 2, faced criticism for its perceived input lag on the PlayStation 3, affecting the game's responsiveness. The franchise's aesthetic is characterized by its dark, gritty, and often depressing atmosphere.
In a recent interview with the Washington Post, it appears that Sony-owned developer Guerrilla has shifted its focus to the Horizon series, leaving Killzone behind. Despite this, over a decade since the last installment, Killzone Shadow Fall, the prospect of reviving this iconic PlayStation shooter still captivates some fans. While the future remains uncertain, supporters can take comfort in knowing they have advocates like Joris de Man in their corner.
