Ahead of E3, Killzone Dev Releases Teaser Image and Joins Twitter

Is an announcement coming at E3?

81 Comments

It appears Killzone developer Guerrilla Games is preparing to make an announcement next week at E3. The developer has shared the image you see here through its Facebook page. It depicts what appears to be a seaside city with mountains and a gorgeous sunsrise on the horizon.

Does this look like Killzone to you?

No Caption Provided

"Horizon" is rumored to be the name of Guerrilla's new IP, which has been described as "completely different" than Killzone. In May 2014, Eurogamer reported that this game could be an open-world RPG, though nothing official has been announced.

"It's exciting times. If I even say one word, people will kill me," producer Poria Torkan said.

In other Guerrilla news, the Dutch developer has now joined Twitter, though it previously had a jobs-only account and a dedicated channel for Killzone. Creating a Twitter account doesn't mean much on its own, but the timing is interesting given that E3 is next week.

What's more, Guerrilla managing director Hermen Hulst is heading to the show. Again, this doesn't necessarily mean an announcement is coming, as Hulst was also in town for E3 2014 and there were no major game reveals from the studio.

Guerrilla Games is owned by Sony, so if the studio were to make an announcement at E3, Sony's briefing would seem to be a likely venue. Sony's event caps off the Monday madness, starting at 6 PM PDT on June 15.

Are you excited for a new IP from Guerrilla? Let us know in the comments below.

I personally rank Killzone higher than Halo, either way it looks like its going to be a beautiful Sci Fi shooter.

I hope it's a first person open world tech-thiller like deus ex. I remember reading somewhere that GG many years ago said that they had some ideas but were tied up with killzone, and that was a tech-themed rpg.

The main team is most likely focusing on Horizon and Cambridge is probably making the sequel to shadow fall.

Not that this have anything to do with this, but I enjoyed KZ2-3 very much, KZ3 had the best mp for an FPS only bested by CoD4 imo. Wish the ps4 Killzone installement would of been a more direct sequel to KZ3.

With that said, whatever guerilla makes, i'm sure it will be good.

Shadow fall, what a joke. Bought the season pass and the Horde mode was trash just like the rest of the game. MY PS4 sounded like it wanted to blow up playing that garbage. One of my worst purchases in gaming EVER!

I feel like this developer is capable of much more than Killzone. I think they are great at what they do, but I just don't like their type of game. It's not memorable to me like Wolfenstein, DOOM and Halo. Seems awfully generic, which isn't common to me when think about Sony exclusive games.

I really don't think so. It's pretty iconic. It has a very memorable cast of characters. I saw nothing memorable about Killzone 3's or Shadow Fall's characters when I played them.

Hey, I'm not saying this is the case, but maybe, just maybe the picture of the Killzone city is intended to imply the new game is set in the Killzone world, but is actually entirely different from Killzone. A stretch, I know. (slight sarcasm)

Yep, this is the city of New Vekta in which a large portion of Killzone: Shadow Fall is set. The giant wall in the middle that extends out into the sea denotes the border between the Vektan and Helghast parts of the city.

Which, although I don't feel that Killzone's ever been a particularly strong series anyway, makes me a little disappointed that they're still rolling with the story from Shadow Fall.

"We straight up gave our sworn, space-Nazi enemies half of our entire planet because that couldn't possibly go wrong in any way." is possibly one of the dumbest plot points I've ever heard.

@xantufrog: Glad I could help.

Oh and just to correct my previous post it's Vekta City, not New Vekta.

This exact image has also been available on the Killzone website as a desktop wallpaper since April 2014.

https://www.killzone.com/fr_CA/downloads/wallpapers/2014-04-22_dam-wallpaper.html

Why they'd tease a new IP, or even a new game in the series with an old image is a little strange. Guerillas concept artists must have all been on vacation or something. :/

I disagree with those saying it looks like Killzone. Why? Because it has buildings and water and stuff? Lens flare? Could be anything, although whatever it is it's a nice screenshot. Good sense of scale.

Of course it's Killzone, it doesn't just look like it. That's in Shadow Fall...

If Destiny has taught me anything, it's that I can never trust concept art. I hope it turns out amazing though.

@Neubmann: The game's art direction seemed pretty faithful to the early screenshots. What's your point.

@prats93: That 75% of the art and resources never made it into the final game. Yes, these things happen, but that's my point. Guerilla's early concept art looks phenominal, but how much of that will be faithfully recreated?

Lol you haven't seen concept art for Horizon yet?

http://www.gamepur.com/news/16233-guerrilla-games-unannounced-ps4-ip-codenamed-horizon-first-concept-art.html

Been around for months. This teaser DOES show the new locale, off in the horizon. Can't wait!
