Killzone Remake
The Killzone franchise may finally be making a comeback after more than a decade away from PlayStation.
According to a September 2026 report from MP1st, Guerrilla Games is working with an external studio on a new Killzone project, reportedly a remake or remaster of an older game. The project is said to be in the very early stages of development. MP1st
The last mainline entry, Killzone: Shadow Fall, launched alongside the PlayStation 4 in 2013. Since then, Guerrilla has focused primarily on the Horizon franchise.
⚠️ Important: Sony, Guerrilla Games and the reported external developer have not officially announced the Killzone project. Current information comes from industry reports and should be treated as unconfirmed.
What Is the Killzone Remake?
The reported project is believed to be either a remake or remaster of an existing Killzone game.
The specific entry has not been confirmed. Reports suggest that the original 2004 Killzone for PlayStation 2 is the most likely candidate, although other possibilities have not been ruled out. PlayStation Universe
A full remake would allow the original game to be rebuilt with modern visuals, controls, technology and performance rather than simply increasing its resolution.
Guerrilla Games and External Development
Guerrilla Games, the studio that created Killzone, is reportedly involved in the project alongside an external development partner.
One name connected to the project is People Can Fly, the studio behind Bulletstorm and Outriders. People Can Fly previously entered an agreement with Sony for a PlayStation IP project codenamed Project Delta, leading to speculation that this could be the reported Killzone project. However, this connection has not been officially confirmed. Push Square
The external development approach would allow Guerrilla to work on Killzone while continuing its other projects.
Why Is Killzone Returning?
The franchise has been inactive since Killzone: Shadow Fall in 2013.
Guerrilla subsequently shifted its attention toward Horizon, turning the studio into one of PlayStation's major open world developers.
The reported revival would therefore represent a return to the studio's FPS roots after roughly 13 years.
According to reports, the Killzone project could eventually become Guerrilla's next major focus after its current Horizon related work, although development priorities can change significantly at this stage. Push Square
Development Status
The most important detail is that the project is reportedly very early in development.
There is currently no confirmed:
- Release date
- Official title
- Gameplay footage
- Platform announcement beyond reports pointing toward PS5
- Confirmed developer partnership
- Specific Killzone game being remade
This means the project could still change considerably before Sony makes any official announcement.

Final Take
The reported Killzone revival could bring one of PlayStation's former FPS franchises back after its long absence.
For now, however, it remains a rumored project rather than an officially announced game. The strongest reports point toward Guerrilla working with an external studio, potentially People Can Fly, on a remake or remaster.
Until Sony provides official details, the game's exact identity, features, release window and development team remain unknown.
