Killzone 4 is in development at Guerrilla Games and will launch in 2013 on the PlayStation 4, an unnamed industry source has told Videogamer.

No Caption Provided

The game could be revealed as early as later this month during Sony's PlayStation Meeting event in New York City, where the PS4 itself is rumored to be revealed.

The latest Killzone title was Killzone: Mercenary, which shipped in September for the PlayStation Vita. The most recent core entry in the series was Killzone 3, which Guerrilla Games developed for the PlayStation 3 and launched in February 2011.

Guerrilla Games has long been rumored to be at work on Killzone 4. A report from November 2011 said Killzone 2 and Killzone 3 senior producer Steven Ter Heide will serve as game director on the new title. It is not clear if this is still the case.

The Dutch developer was not immediately available for comment.

I just got back into Killzone after a few years, forgot how awesome it is. Killzone really knows how to make you feel like you are in a warzone. I'm ready for 4 because I know it will look insane and play great too.

@jcnba28 The enemies wear heavy armor, plus didn't you get the Helghan storyline? The Helghan evolved, thus allowing them to take much more damage than regular humans.

@ulgk Well sadly for us it always was a Sony exclusive.Anyways,I hated the first one but I tried the sequel on my cousin's PS3 and felt that it was pretty good.Sony's got some pretty sweet exclusives unlike MS who are still stuck with HALO and GOW.

That's certainly true. KZ3 is an excellent game and KZ4 should be as well. Also, KZ always push PS tech. That will be a great PS4 show up.

@jcnba28 i agree, i could not get into that one. Syndicate also felt like crap, i resold it.

It's no good when in a game about shooting, the shooting is the worst part.

Guerrilla Games : the end of another one. They keep making shite, like M. Shyamalan Night.

This will kill Guerrilla Games. These companies don't seem to learn from other companies do they?

I doubt this will happen, considering Killzone: Mercenary isn't scheduled to come out until this September.

Hopefully it looks exactly like what they first showed us for Kill Zone 2 years ago. The games are great, but if they can reach that level of detail, I will be thoroughly amazed!

Please Guerrilla, allow players to play Helghast and ISA separately in different missions in the campaign or play as an Helghast in the entire campaign, because I am tired of playing as just the ISA in the campaign .

@AverageGameJoe Gameplay on Killzone 2 and 3 is a bit slower than CoD or Battlefield, but it's meant to be more realistic than anything. It doesn't slow down the action at all though, which I believe blows CoD and Battlefield away in terms of intensity and difficulty. Also, when you hit enemies, it feels like you're hitting them. The actual story is nothing spectacular, but it gets the job done.

@AverageGameJoe Personally, I don't like KZ multiplayer all that much... It's ok. But I bought both 2 & 3 for the story, and was satisfied with both.

It's like KZ3 is like MW3. Same kinda roller coaster ride. Battlefield 3 campaign is not really something to write home about.

Why does everyone always forget the great sound (and only mentions graphics). Best for a shooter, period. Battlefield comes second. You play with your tv on mute :) ?

Killzone is always a great way to show off new Sony tech. Good chance it would be one of the first games I buy for my PS4.

Hopefully FF Versus XIII and Last Guardian also make that list...

Do you guys think ,if true, that Killzone 4's graphics would finally match or exceed that amazing 2005 E3 trailer? That would be incredible if it did.

@Plasmid_king Did you really just say that about PC's?

PC gamers have been playing "Nextgen" for at least 2 years now.

in fact, while you are gaming on gen 8 in 2 years, PC gamers will be jumping on the Gen 9 graphics train. Good luck with your childrens console.

@Elem187 You act like the majority of PC gamers have these suped up gaming rigs that play everything over 9000... The truth is, when new consoles come out, they're much better graphically than most PCs out there.

Geez how many shooters are coming out for Sony consoles? Seems like the only games they get... Do you guys get bored of these?

Me personally, after 20 years of playing first person shooters I cannot for the life of me want to play another.... I guess you console gamers, only been playing FPS for small handful of years and it hasn't gotten old yet.

@Elem187 What? Games for consoles are just as diverse as games for PC... Shooters are just popular in general.

I know a ton of PC guys who love Battlefield 3.

@jack00 I've never played a Killzone game before, but would you say it would be worth buying a PS3 if only for those games? If so, I might get a PS4 if it has backwards compatibility.

@TheAgingGamer @jack00 Well, KZ2 was one of the reason why I bought a ps3 if I want to be honest. I don't think a system is worth buying only for ONE game. But if you don't have a ps3 already, this is a good time to get one, especialy with that god of war edition coming out with all god of war games for 299$. When you get that get KZ2-3 and Uncharted 1-2-3 and come back thank me later. And I wouldn't hold my breath for BC with ps4. They dropped it with ps3 for ps2 games and they probably will do the same for ps3 games, unless somehow they find an easy way to emulate ps3 games on the ps4. again, if you have the money, just get the god of war bundle coming out in a couple of weeks.

@TheAgingGamer @jack00 Story is alright. But it is very fun to play and the visuals are outstanding. I like the dirty/grimy look of the Killzone games. Dirtiest FPS I've ever played. HAH

@TheAgingGamer @jack00 As fas as FPS go it's fairly standard gameplay. The writing and plot are a bit on the lacking side. Visually of course it's one of the most impressive. So I can't say you are missing out on something you'll regret but it's not to shabby either. Depends on how much you like military FPS games.

This is cool and totally not unexpected. I just hope they bring in some decent writers for the next game.
