Sony's beloved *Killzone* franchise has remained dormant for well over a decade, leaving many fans wondering if it will ever see a revival. In a recent interview with VideoGamer during the PlayStation: The Concert Tour, Joris de Man—renowned composer of the *Killzone* series—joined the growing list of voices expressing hope for the franchise’s return.

De Man acknowledged that while he can't officially speak on behalf of Guerrilla Games, he believes *Killzone* holds a special place in gaming history and deserves recognition as an iconic series. However, he also noted that any potential comeback would need to carefully consider modern player expectations and evolving tastes.

When considering how the franchise might make a comeback, de Man suggested that a remastered collection could be more viable than a brand-new entry. He pointed out that the market may not be as receptive to a fresh *Killzone* title, especially since players seem to lean toward faster-paced, more casual gameplay experiences these days.

This sentiment reflects some of the challenges the series faced during its peak. Known for its slower, more deliberate gameplay compared to adrenaline-fueled titles like *Call of Duty*, *Killzone* carved out a unique niche with its intense atmosphere and cinematic presentation. Notably, *Killzone 2* earned criticism for noticeable input lag on the PlayStation 3, which impacted its responsiveness. Additionally, the series' signature aesthetic—dark, gritty, and often visually muted environments—may now feel dated in today's colorful and stylized shooter landscape.

Despite this, the idea of a *Killzone* revival still excites a dedicated fanbase. Recent comments from Guerrilla Games suggest the studio has largely moved forward with new intellectual properties like the *Horizon* series, but the possibility of revisiting past worlds remains intriguing.

With nearly ten years having passed since the release of *Killzone Shadow Fall*, the longing for a return to Helghan hasn’t faded entirely. Whether through a remaster or a reimagined reboot, there’s clearly still a spark of hope alive among fans—and now, at least one more voice in the choir calling for its return.
