Happy 21st, Killzone 🎉 I can’t believe it’s been a year since we launched Killzine: A Killzone Fanzine and hosted the KILLONE20YEARS multiplayer event. We’d love to see the series return, but until then, thanks to Guerrilla and PlayStation past and present for all the memories 🫂🤍

We’re not breaking up or going inactive completely, we’ll just be a lot less focused on this platform going forward. You can depend on us for key anniversaries or if the unthinkable happens and the series makes a comeback. Thank you all so much for all the support up until now.

Killzine: A Killzone Fanzine 📕 @killzonezine.com · 02/03/2025

Most of the zine team has freely contributed their time and passion around family commitments and full time jobs. There’s only so much time in the day, sadly, and we’re burning out. We came together to celebrate Killzone’s 20th anniversary, and we’ve done so much more.

110

Killzine: A Killzone Fanzine 📕 @killzonezine.com · 02/03/2025

We weren’t naive enough to expect to single-handedly bring it back, but the lack of enthusiasm from IP holders to even acknowledge major series anniversaries is telling. We have every faith Killzone will return one day, but our current pace of support for it is not sustainable.

Killzine: A Killzone Fanzine 📕 @killzonezine.com · 02/03/2025

For the last 18 months we’ve been working every day on Killzone-related projects. We’re incredibly proud of the Killzine, the KILLZONE20YEARS event, and our original game pitch. Sadly, it doesn’t seem like we’re any closer to the return of Killzone. 🧵 1/?

A screenshot from the opening of Killzone 2, a popular video game for the PS3, showing Helghast soldiers on a bleak, muddy battlefield. Columns of smoke can be seen littering the background. One of the soldiers is approaching toward the viewer while behind him one is crouched aiming their weapon, one is stood aiming their weapon, and a third seems to have recently been shot and is motionless on the ground. To the far right we can see an enemy tank.

A Black Hand operative from the popular video game series, Killzone. This member of the Helghast is considered a terrorist faction that appears in Killzone: Shadow Fall for the PS4. This is the iconic scene during the bombing of the VSA headquarters on Vekta where the Blank Hand soldier looms over the player character in the aftermath of the explosion. The Helghast's glowing red eyes can be see under a hood with the soldier holdier some kind of pistol. Fire and wreckage can be seen in the background.

A page from the short story comic “Pressure Cooker,” written by Jimmy Bowers and inked by Konira Thax. The story takes place during the opening of Killzone 2. This page features four panels. The first is a smoking landscape. The second is a close up grimace of the lower third of a man’s face. The third is of three Helghast soldiers shooting over cover. The fourth is of the man crouched behind the cover of a crashed dropship as his squad’s bodies lay around him.
