In a recent interview regarding LEGO Horizon Adventures, Guerrilla Games Art Director Roy Postma shared insights into the studio's departure from the Killzone franchise. Originally launched on the PlayStation 2, Killzone was often viewed as Sony's response to Microsoft's popular Halo series. Although many would argue that Killzone never reached the same heights, it quickly garnered its own dedicated fanbase.

Set in a futuristic and fictional universe, the Killzone series depicts the conflict between two factions: the Interplanetary Strategic Alliance and the militaristic Helghan Empire. The shooter offered a comprehensive story campaign alongside competitive PvP modes, which were typical of many shooters during that era. However, after the release of Killzone: Shadow Fall on the PlayStation 4 in 2013, the franchise has remained largely inactive, with Guerrilla Games shifting focus to the open-world action title, Horizon: Zero Dawn.

The complete pivot away from Killzone was a deliberate decision. In an interview with the Washington Post about the upcoming LEGO Horizon Adventures game, Postma revealed that the studio grew weary of the gritty, gray aesthetic of Killzone and sought to create something more vibrant and varied. He stated, “We were done with it as a team. As a studio, we needed to refresh the palette. It was, by choice, the opposite of Killzone.”

Part of the attraction of working on the Horizon franchise for Guerrilla is its broad appeal, featuring diverse themes and characters. Given the tremendous success and sales of the Horizon series for Sony, the future of Killzone appears uncertain. Postma's remarks suggest that the studio has largely moved on, favoring the rich and unique world offered by the Horizon franchise. However, there's still a possibility that Killzone could make a comeback, potentially leveraging Sony's push for a live-service model, though it likely won't be handled by Guerrilla due to its ongoing Horizon projects.

With Activision Blizzard now fully owned by Microsoft, many PlayStation fans have expressed concern that the Call of Duty franchise might eventually become exclusive to Xbox consoles. In light of this, there were speculations within the community that a revival of Killzone could serve as Sony's answer to Call of Duty. Nevertheless, it seems a new developer would need to take the lead for any future installments. For the time being, Microsoft has assured fans that Call of Duty will remain available on PlayStation, and players can look forward to the upcoming launch of Black Ops 6.
