About Killzone

Killzone began with Guerrilla's Killzone (2004) on PS2 about the Helghast invasion of Vekta. Killzone 2 (2009) counter-invades Helghan with Sev and Rico, and Killzone 3 (2011) closes their arc off-world. Liberation (2006) on PSP and Mercenary (2013) on Vita tell side campaigns around the same wars.

Killzone: Shadow Fall (2013) jumped a generation ahead on PS4 with new leads Lucas and Echo behind the wall. Guerrilla moved on to Horizon after 2013 with no new Killzone dated as of 2026, leaving Shadow Fall as the current endpoint.

Good to know

Play the trilogy plus Shadow Fall in release order, since the Helghast war and the Visari regime assume sequence. Liberation and Mercenary fit between the main games as alternate viewpoints rather than required chapters. Shadow Fall divides fans with its colder leads, so expect a tone shift at the end of the run.
