10 PlayStation 5 Exclusives We Know Are In Development

4. Killzone 5

The Killzone series always reviews well and sells sufficiently to warrant sequels, but it has never really lit the world on fire. The last instalment was Killzone: Shadowfall, which was a great PS4 launch title. However, since then, developer Guerrilla Games has made the phenomenal Horizon: Zero Dawn.

The success of that game led many to believe that a new Killzone game was suddenly unlikely. However, Sony isn't going to just let the Killzone series die. It's a reliable game in regards to sales, and it works great as a launch title for systems. With that in mind, we reckon Guerrilla Games is working on a new Killzone that will launch alongside the PS5.

We know that Guerrilla Games is split into two teams, meaning one of those teams has been working on something for a few years now, while the Horizon: Zero Dawn team is working on a sequel to that. Furthermore, Guerrilla recently hired a few people who have experience working on multiplayer games, so it seems inevitable that Killzone will be making a triumphant return on the PlayStation 5.

It's no secret that Sony wants a multiplayer title to compete with the heavy-hitters, and therefore it could be doubling-down on a launch-title Killzone.
