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.

Just give us some good gameplay and an epic story and I'll be happy. We know the graphics will be top notch, just need to rest to rise to the same level.

I'm glad it's not another Kill Zone. Hopefully it will be something different and good.

This doesn't look like killzone? Have you ever seen ONE Shadow Fall screen shot?

@amurices: The big wall is reminiscent of Shadowfall, however there is an obvious lack of technology in this picture.

I wonder if we'll see what Sucker Punch is working on.

There is probably a new InFamous in the works.

Almost certainly a new GoW game will be teased at least.

Rumor is that we will finally see what TLG has turned into.

Then we have Guerrilla's new RPG.

New GranTurismo, most likely.

and hopefully a couple of out of left wing surprises.

ITS ALMOST HERE.... CAN YOU FEEL THE HYPE!?

Good. I've never been into Killzone so they can wait awhile before making another. Shooters are pretty much all they've done. I'd like to see something else from them.

I hope this is not an hour and a half of VR and games coming out in 2 -3 years though. Like the Last Guardian. I highly doubt they are even close to releasing that game but, they will likely show it just for the hype then not give us a release date or give us one just to turn around and say sorry its been delayed - again. I don't want to know what's coming out in 2017 or 2018. Stick to stuff that will be out before the next E3. Otherwise save if for the next E3.

I've got a feeling Sony is going to show a lot of great stuff at E3. The majority of their studios haven't released anything on the PS4 yet, so I hope we see a lot from them this E3.

I agree as well. I just hope VR doesn't take over E3...I hope it is about the games.

Killzone has always been Sony's "We want a Halo, too! :( " series. Let's hope that the studio is getting a chance to make the game they want to make instead of the game the suits at Sony want. Sony has not done well with first party games this generation and a lot of it seems to be related to such interference.

(Note, Bloodborne isn't a first party game. From had complete control over that game.)

@deathstream: From didnt have "complete" control over that game. It was a straight out collaboration with Sony Japan just like it was with Demon's Souls, ya kno, the 1st game to have spawned the Souls craze. If anything Sony has just a bigger hand as From in the creation of the souls franchise. Dark Souls was all From, sure, but the gameplay basis was all already there coming from Demon's. Sony has credit also, dont be naive

Good contribution. Shame you can't get the "likes" you so desperately crave.

Looking forward to seeing what PS4 games are awaiting us.. Need something to look forward too other than No Mans Sky and Uncharted (albeit I will probably get Ratchet and Clank too, and Amplitude)

That's funny, looking at the picture I immediately thought, this looks exactly like Killzone.

@wookiepower4k:

I thought the same. I got kill zone at launch, but ended up playing PSN games instead as I couldn't get into it. I tried going back a few times, but didn't get far past the station section. Looked great, but ultimately dull.

Let's hope this is better.

@barcaazul: Killzone was the first "next gen" game of both new systems I played and I was stunned at how incredible it was graphically. I was playing on a 125" 1080p projection screen at the time and couldn't believe my eyes. I managed to finish it and thought it was pretty good but some sections dragged on longer than they needed to. The transit trains were incredible. Overall I was satisfied with it especially when compared to the other available launch titles.

@wookiepower4k:

I know what you mean, the tower that gets attacked just after you land looks incredible, and the game looks good.

It's more the story/ acting that put me off, and the gameplay just didn't do enough for me. That said in not a massive FPS fan.

But if you KNOW that it isn't Killzone, it is easier to see the differences and they have been saying since before the PS4 launch that their next game would be a new IP.

Could have sworn there was a similar area in Shadow Fall but my memory about that game is not good.

@pspearman:

Are things on fire? It kind of looks like orange light reflecting off of the output of the smokestacks instead.

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

Exciting is probably not the word I would use in that situation. "Stressful" perhaps, or even "Terrifying".
