KILLZONE COMPOSER QUESTIONS IF FANS HAVE MOVED ON FROM SERIES

Mar 26, 2025 6:37 PM

Killzone, the iconic FPS franchise by Sony, has not seen a new installment in over a decade, prompting composer Joris de Man to express interest in its revival. In a recent interview, he acknowledged fan petitions for a return but pointed out the challenges facing the series due to changing player preferences. De Man suggested that a remastered collection of past games could be received more favorably than a new title. He emphasized that the slow-paced, weighty gameplay of Killzone may not align with current gaming trends that favor more casual and quicker experiences. The dark and gritty atmosphere of Killzone games has been beloved by many, and fans still hope for a revival, despite shifts in industry focus.

Will Sony revive the Killzone franchise?

While there’s no confirmation of a revival, the interest from both fans and past contributors like Joris de Man keeps the hope alive for a potential remaster or new installment in the future.

The Killzone series debuted in 2004, known for its intense campaign and multiplayer modes, primarily on PlayStation consoles. It faced competition from games like Call of Duty, leading to shifts in gameplay style and audience engagement. The last game, Killzone: Shadow Fall, released in 2013, introduced new mechanics but did not capture the same acclaim as earlier titles. As the gaming landscape evolves, discussions about returning to Killzone continue to intrigue both longtime fans and newcomers alike.

A remaster could be the perfect way to test the waters—see if players still vibe with Killzone’s unique feel before committing to a full-blown sequel. That said, I’d love to see a modern take that keeps the series’ signature atmosphere while tweaking the pacing to suit today’s tastes.

A remastered collection would be a smart move—let players rediscover Killzone's gritty charm before betting on a risky reboot. Though, I kinda miss when shooters weren’t afraid to be slow and weighty instead of chasing trends.
