KILLZONE

killzone 2

Killzone was such a huge and important IP for Sony not too long ago, and with the success that Killzone 2 in particular brought them, it’s strange to think that the series is, for all practical purposes, dead at this point. Shadow Fall sold well enough, but got middling reception from critics and audiences alike, while the PS Vita’s Mercenaries just sort of disappeared barely days after launch (even though it was a pretty good game). Now, with Guerrilla Games fully focused on Horizon, clearly they have bigger fish to fry… but we’re hoping that they’re not completely done with Killzone just yet anyway.
