Insiders from the MP1st portal report that Sony has approved the production of a remaster or remake for the Killzone series. This will be the company's first official engagement with this franchise in recent years. Since a specific title has not been named, analysts suggest that it could either be the original Killzone or Killzone: Shadow Fall.
According to insider information, the project is at a very early stage of development, so no official announcement should be expected. The development is not being handled by Guerrilla Games itself, but by a third-party company not part of the PlayStation Studios family. This is due to Guerrilla currently focusing on reworking Horizon: Hunters Gathering.
Who is developing the project?
Insiders have suggested that the studio People Can Fly may be involved in the production. The company signed an agreement with Sony in spring 2025 to develop a project codenamed Project Delta. However, this assumption requires confirmation.
Such an approach by Sony to reviving classic franchises aligns with its strategy in recent years. The company has previously released remasters of modern games, including The Last of Us: Part II, indicating a willingness to invest in updating time-tested projects.
The context of revival
Killzone — a legendary series of shooters that was once one of the most notable exclusives for PlayStation. The last new game in the franchise, Killzone: Shadow Fall, was released in 2013 for PS4. Since then, Sony has not released new installments, leading to the gradual fading of the brand.
The revival of Killzone could be part of a broader strategy by Sony to restore classic IPs. In recent years, the company has been actively working on updating its portfolio while trying to attract both veterans of the series and new players. The choice of a remaster or remake instead of an entirely new installment indicates the company's desire to minimize risks and rely on familiar gaming material.
As the project is in its early stages, no other details, including release platforms and the expected release date, are known. Fans of the franchise may have to wait for an official announcement only if Sony decides to publicly confirm this information.
