What The HELL HAPPENED To Killzone: Shadow Fall?
392Once amongst the pantheon of Sony’s first-party offerings, now firmly on the side-lines, Guerilla Games’ Killzone series enjoyed a successful run culminating in 2013’s PS4 launch title Killzone: Shadow Fall. The early days were good – Shadow Fall was the first PS4 game to surpass one million sales, with units sold reaching 2.4 million by March 2014.
Graphically speaking, Killzone: Shadow Fall still looks incredible, and with a few neat ideas, gameplay tweaks, and a robust multiplayer system the overall experience was decent too.

This feature attempts to provide an explanation as to why the series trailed off following Shadow Fall’s release, discusses its shortcomings, and points out the stiff competition it faces from other more well-known FPS titles.
