Happy 21st, Killzone 🎉

I can’t believe it’s been a year since we launched Killzine: A Killzone Fanzine and hosted the KILLONE20YEARS multiplayer event.

We’d love to see the series return, but until then, thanks to Guerrilla and PlayStation past and present for all the memories 🫂🤍

For the last 18 months we’ve been working every day on Killzone-related projects.

We’re incredibly proud of the Killzine, the KILLZONE20YEARS event, and our original game pitch.

Sadly, it doesn’t seem like we’re any closer to the return of Killzone. 🧵 1/?
A screenshot from the opening of Killzone 2, a popular video game for the PS3, showing Helghast soldiers on a bleak, muddy battlefield. Columns of smoke can be seen littering the background. One of the soldiers is approaching toward the viewer while behind him one is crouched aiming their weapon, one is stood aiming their weapon, and a third seems to have recently been shot and is motionless on the ground. To the far right we can see an enemy tank.

Thanks so much to everyone who has downloaded our zine. The reception to it has been ✨WAY MORE✨ than we could have hoped for.

Photoshopped on the top of this image is the words "400+ Downloads" and "Thank You!" There's also a hand holding an iPad like device with the cover art of Killzine: A Killzone Fanzine on it.

Not long to wait to see our vision for Killzone’s future.

You ready? 🤷‍♂️
A Black Hand operative from the popular video game series, Killzone. This member of the Helghast is considered a terrorist faction that appears in Killzone: Shadow Fall for the PS4. This is the iconic scene during the bombing of the VSA headquarters on Vekta where the Blank Hand soldier looms over the player character in the aftermath of the explosion. The Helghast's glowing red eyes can be see under a hood with the soldier holdier some kind of pistol. Fire and wreckage can be seen in the background.

We'll keep fighting 💪
Until the other side is dead 💀

What’s that? Another one? 👀

Please wish @jdas2k.bsky.social many happy returns on his birthday today! 🥳 🎉

Jason was a Contributing Artist for the Killzone zine and such an integral part of the team. He produced an ode to both the ISA and Helghast!

Happy birthday to our Art Director, @konirathax.bsky.social! 🥳 🍰

Did you enjoy the art in the Killzone zine? From that iconic cover art to over 30 pieces inside, KT is one of the main reasons we were able to celebrate the 20th anniversary in style 💛

An illustration of Jorhan Stahl from the popular video game series, Killzone. The character is wearing a futuristic but functional looking suit with subtle nods to 1900s menswear. He’s stood in front of the Stahl Arms chevron insignia with purple blooming flowers around him. A page from the short story comic “Pressure Cooker,” written by Jimmy Bowers and inked by Konira Thax. The story takes place during the opening of Killzone 2. This page features four panels. The first is a smoking landscape. The second is a close up grimace of the lower third of a man’s face. The third is of three Helghast soldiers shooting over cover. The fourth is of the man crouched behind the cover of a crashed dropship as his squad’s bodies lay around him.

Would you buy this? 🤷‍♂️

A Killzone trilogy collection on modern systems would be ✨amazing✨

It’d be the perfect way to revitalise the Killzone series for a new generation of PlayStation (and PC) players.

Sony could use it as a springboard to further entries in the franchise.

Looks like Sony Interactive Entertainment renewed the European trademark for Killzone in October 2023.

That means the trademark for Killzone is secured by PlayStation for another 10 years 👀

Is the IP being actively worked on? 🤷‍♀️

Last year we voiced our desire to have a genuine conversation with @playstation.com about the future of Killzone.

Our open letter was featured in the likes of @pushsquare.com and @gamerant.bsky.social.

We’ve now got a full game pitch ready to present to the right people. So, Sony, wanna chat? 🤷‍♂️

Hey, we need ✨YOU✨ for a survey! ✍

We're working on something for the Killzone 2 and 3 anniversary on the 22nd - 26th of Feb.

Part of that means we need to understand the PlayStation and Killzone audience if the series was to make a comeback.

A very Happy Holidays from everyone here at Killzine 🤍✨ Thank you for making this year as special as it was.

Launching a Killzone fan account a decade late was a wild punt, but we’re so happy with how well it’s gone!

We’ve got big plans for 2025 👀

We just hit ✨300 DOWNLOADS✨

A big thanks to everyone who has checked out Killzone’s 20th anniversary zine recently.

Also, a big thanks to Arrowhead and Helldivers for putting Killzone back on the menu! 📕

Some first person footage of the StA-52 Assault Rifle from the Helldivers 2 x Killzone 2 collab.

Feels great to use and the reload in first person is SO nostalgic 😍

Now, who do I have to ask to get the M82 added to the game? 👀

I’m sorry, WHAT?!

So it’s more than the two rounds of Killzone cosmetics/weapons in the store?

My hopes:
🔴 Reskin Super Destroyer into ISA/Helghan Cruiser
🔴 ISA Cosmetics/Weapons (M82 🙏)
🔴 Reskin Dropships to ISA/Helghan Versions
🔴 Add Post-Terracide Helghan as a Planet
A screenshot of the Helldivers 2 x Killzone 2 blog post from the PlayStation Blog with a particular section highlighted which suggests the cosmetic packs won’t be the only Killzone content on offer in Helldivers 2!

THIS IS NOT A DRILL! 🚨

Didn’t want to get fooled by rumours, but it’s official, Arrowhead are bringing Killzone to Helldivers 2! 😍

First part of the collab is available in the Superstore ✨RIGHT NOW✨ and will be availed for 5 days.

Part 2 drops on Dec 23rd!
Purchase-able cosmetics and weapons in Helldivers 2 that are part of a Killzone 2 crossover event featuring Helghast infantry armour, a StA-52 rifle, cape, player title, and banner.

I’ve found another Killzone Easter Egg in the Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores DLC 👀

Holographic ISA/VSA soldiers used in the Pangea theme park, outside “The Armory.”

Lots more nods to our favourite franchise than you’d think! 🥰
A screenshot from the Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores DLC. This shows Aloy in the bottom left corner with holographic soldiers on a little rocky outcrop above her. A screenshot from the Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores DLC. This shows a holographic soldier, stood with his weapon raised, as two holographic dinosaurs screech at the sky behind him. A screenshot from the Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores DLC. This shows a squad of holographic soldiers on a rocky outcrop in various stages of readiness. Behind them a sign reads “The Armory.” A screenshot from Killzone Shadow Fall showing an ISA/VSA soldier (who looks like a futuristic UN peacekeeper with Blue flourishes to his armour) stood next to a civilian. The Vekta City skyline can be seen behind them filled with glistening, futuristic skyscrapers.

Probably the last chance for a Killzone announcement this year. There won't be one...but what if? 👀
