Since it has been some time because the franchise has been talked about in any main mild, for many who don’t know, Killzone Shadow Fall and Killzone Mercenary had been the latest mainline entries for the Killzone sequence. The titles, which each launched in 2013 for the PlayStation 4 and PS Vita respectively, are in impact the ultimate entries of the Killzone sequence, as Guerrilla Games has made little to no point out of ever returning to the sequence in any for or vogue. RIGS: Mechanized Combat League is a PS VR solely title that was launched in 2016.

Considering that large recognition with Guerrilla Games’ different franchise, the Horizon sequence, it’s not that a lot of a shock to see the studio start to sundown the older Killzone servers with the intention to make room for newer ones. Still, it’s a tragic day for many who are nonetheless enjoying these title’s on-line modes, as they now have a deadline to maintain having fun with them. As we already talked about, the rise of the Horizon sequence has put Killzone on the bench so to talk. Hopefully Guerrilla will carry it again at some point, however for the foreseeable future that doesn’t appear to be the case.
