In an unexpected turn of events, PlayStation has finally acknowledged the existence of Killzone after more than a decade, but the news isn't exactly what fans of the series were hoping for.
The revelation came with the lifting of the embargo on The Last of Us 2 Remastered, exposing all the new in-game additions for the re-release, including bonus t-shirts and outfits for characters Ellie and Abby. A particular t-shirt for Ellie proudly showcases the Killzone logo, which, unfortunately, doesn't align with the desires of the shooter series enthusiasts.
This marks the first time in over ten years that PlayStation has acknowledged the first-person shooter series in any way. The last significant mention was during the launch of Killzone: Shadow Fall alongside the debut of the PS4 in late 2013.
Fans, however, are expressing disappointment with this subtle nod. A Twitter user voiced their frustration, stating, "Been waiting since Twenty-Goddamn-Thirteen since Shadowfall for ANY Killzone news and this is what we get. I hate it here." It seems the Killzone fanbase had higher expectations and was eagerly anticipating more substantial news from Sony.
"I feel genuinely sorry for Killzone fans. Sony has treated them very poorly for a long time," empathized another Twitter user. There is a shared sentiment among fans, with many expressing a desire for a Killzone remaster or something entirely new from the franchise.
Adding to the excitement, The Last of Us 2 Remastered has thrown in a special treat for fans by featuring a Resistance t-shirt for Ellie. This unexpected addition has stirred up nostalgic emotions among followers of Sony's somewhat overlooked series.
Expressing their sentiments on Twitter, one user lamented, "This is the closest we'll get to Resistance for PS4/PS5, and I really wish they gave more of their other titles and series a chance to be remastered." The longing for a fresh take on beloved titles is evident, as fans yearn for more opportunities to revisit classic games on the latest gaming platforms.
This small but meaningful gesture in The Last of Us 2 Remastered serves as a reminder of the rich history and diverse catalog of games that Sony has produced over the years. As gamers eagerly embrace these nods to the past, they also express hope for more revivals and remasters of cherished titles, allowing a new generation to experience the magic of timeless classics.
Unfortunately, the future doesn't look bright for the Killzone franchise, especially with Guerrilla Games, the original developer, seemingly fully invested in expanding the Horizon series with new games and a spin-off. The fate of the Resistance series appears even bleaker, with no main game launches since 2011.
As fans continue to navigate the wilderness of uncertainty regarding these beloved series, the spotlight remains on Sony's upcoming games, offering a glimmer of hope for new gaming experiences on the horizon.
