This crossover already has followers questioning if Sony might lastly be able to return to the Killzone franchise with a model new launch. Original developer Guerrilla Games has its arms full with the Horizon Online venture and the inevitable Horizon 3, so any new sport would in all probability have to return from one other developer.
