Hey Bluesky! 👋

We’re a fanzine and fandom account created to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the #Killzone series.

Our zine, that launched on Nov 2, is packed full of original developer interviews, features, and fanworks.

We have more things in the works too!

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 🫂🤍

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.

Wow, another milestone! 😱

Thanks so much to everyone who has downloaded our zine. The reception to it has been ✨WAY MORE✨ than we could have hoped for.

We've also had over 60 downloads of our game pitch!

Check out the zine 👉 ko-fi.com/s/ce519885c5

The image is a marketing screenshot from Killzone Shadow Fall, a video game for the PS4, showing a Helghast soldier laying in wait around a corner as three ISA soldiers filter down a corridor. Photoshopped on the top of this image is the words "400+ Downloads" and "Thank You!" There's also a hand holding an iPad like device with the cover art of Killzine: A Killzone Fanzine on it.

Last year we published an open letter to PlayStation and Guerrilla to open a dialogue about the future of Killzone.

It was featured in the likes of @pushsquare.com, @gameranx.com.web.brid.gy, and more.

Many asked, what would we do with the license? We're glad you asked... ko-fi.com/s/fcecb2d022

Not long to wait to see our vision for Killzone’s future.

You ready? 🤷‍♂️
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.

Happy birthday to our Art Director, @konirathax.bsky.social! 🥳 🍰

Did you enjoy the art in the Killzone zine? From that iconic cover art to over 30 pieces inside, KT is one of the main reasons we were able to celebrate the 20th anniversary in style 💛

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.

Would you buy this? 🤷‍♂️

A Killzone trilogy collection on modern systems would be ✨amazing✨

It’d be the perfect way to revitalise the Killzone series for a new generation of PlayStation (and PC) players.

Sony could use it as a springboard to further entries in the franchise.

Looks like Sony Interactive Entertainment renewed the European trademark for Killzone in October 2023.

That means the trademark for Killzone is secured by PlayStation for another 10 years 👀

Is the IP being actively worked on? 🤷‍♀️

Hey, we need ✨YOU✨ for a survey! ✍

We're working on something for the Killzone 2 and 3 anniversary on the 22nd - 26th of Feb.

Part of that means we need to understand the PlayStation and Killzone audience if the series was to make a comeback.

It’s been a hard year, professionally and personally, for many reasons, but I’m immensely proud of what we did with @killzonezine.com 😍

To have it so well received, featured in global games media, and to be supported by devs was better than I could have ever asked for.

A fantastic project 🙏 💛
