After 13 years of silence since Killzone: Shadow Fall launched alongside the PS4, a new report suggests PlayStation may be reviving its iconic FPS series. According to MP1st, original developer Guerrilla Games is collaborating with an external studio on a Killzone remaster or remake project.

What stage is the project at

Sources indicate the project is currently in the very early stages of development. While MP1st’s sources didn’t specify which game is being targeted, the outlet speculates that the original 2004 Killzone could be reimagined. The Killzone project was intended to be Guerrilla’s next focus after Horizon Hunter's Gathering, but delays and a shift away from live service for that co-op title have changed the studio’s plans.

Why did Horizon Hunter's Gathering take priority

Guerrilla officially announced Horizon Hunter's Gathering in February 2026 as a three-player co-op action game. According to a separate Bloomberg report in August, Guerrilla has been reworking the game extensively since June, following negative feedback from private testing. The plan now is to move away from live service and deliver a smaller, story-driven co-op experience. Most of Guerrilla’s team is focused on this multiplayer project for now; after Hunter’s Gathering launches, some staff are expected to move to Killzone, while others shift to Horizon 3.

Who is the external studio

The reports don’t confirm the identity of the external studio working alongside Guerrilla, but speculation points to People Can Fly, the team behind Bulletstorm and Outriders. People Can Fly entered an official partnership with Sony Interactive Entertainment in 2025 to work on an unannounced Sony IP codenamed “Project Delta.” When this was revealed, fans speculated it could be a Killzone or SOCOM revival. However, People Can Fly is currently involved with Xbox’s Gears of War: E-Day, a secret project with 2K Games codenamed Project Florence, and a separate project with Krafton, suggesting a packed schedule. Because of this, some observers think the Killzone project could be handled by another studio, such as Climax Studios.

No official word from Sony yet

Neither Sony nor Guerrilla Games have made any official statements or hints about the project. This means all information is currently based on leaks and rumors, with no clear timeline for an official announcement.
