Such a return has seemed unlikely even at the most effective of instances lately, nevertheless, and going by recent feedback from artwork director Roy Postma – who has been at Guerrilla since 2000 – it doesn’t appear like the studio has any intention to return to Killzone.

I believe the themes that this story and the characters symbolize are relatable for all ages and other people, like having a discovered household of buddies and discovering your home on this planet.”
With Killzone having been dormant for over a decade and Horizon having fun with the success that it has, probabilities of the previous getting back from the useless have seemed slim anyway, however whenever you add Postma’s feedback on prime of that, these probabilities start wanting even slimmer, which is one thing Killzone followers gained’t be pleased with.
