  "account": "Sony is rumored to be developing a new entry in the first-person shooter franchise Killzone. The studio behind the series, Guerrilla Games, gained prominence with the Horizon Zero Dawn game series, leaving the Killzone team to idle on projects like Horizon. However, Killzone remains popular among fans, prompting calls for its return. MP1st suggests that the development of a new Killzone might involve People Can Fly, the creators of Bulletstorm and Outriders.\n\nThere is uncertainty around which Killzone iteration is being remastered or remade. However, it's plausible that the original Killzone from 2004 on PlayStation 2 could be the candidate. Guerrilla Games is currently occupied with other projects, such as the reboot of the Hunters Gathering multiplayer mode following criticism, and the development of Horizon 3, which is years away.\n\nA small team is working on the new Killzone project, which could serve as a stepping stone for a potential reboot of the entire series in the future. Guerrilla Games' art director, Roy Postma, expressed their preference for the bright and vibrant world of Horizon over the dark and violent setting of Killzone. He mentioned that the team had grown tired of the dark tone and was looking for a change. Postma noted that Horizon's themes are relatable to all ages and people, symbolizing finding one's place in the world and building a family of friends.",
